New Project Coming Soon!

February 16, 2023 By Karen Witemeyer

I have a secret. I'm dipping my toes into the Indie Publishing pool. *Gasp* Don't hyperventilate from shock. It's only for a novella.

New Year – New Reading Challenge

January 5, 2023 By Karen Witemeyer

Every year for the past four years, I've hosted a Reading Challenge in my Posse Facebook group. This has been the single-best motivator for me to carve out reading time every month. With a full-time day job, full-time writing, and plenty of family and church activities on my daily schedule, finding time to read for pleasure can be difficult. These challenges, however, hold me accountable, prod me … [Read more...]
