Bookish Valentine Fun

February 3, 2022 By Karen Witemeyer

As a romance author, I enjoy celebrating Valentine's Day for the entire month of February. No mere day is sufficient for this sappy romantic.

January 27, 2022 By Cara Putman

Can I be honest? It's always a little stunning to me when authors and publishers ask me to consider endorsing a book. Two of the above books I was asked to do that. Yep.

The other day I did a shelf of Grace Livingston Hill novels. I have a ton of them! Most are reprints from the 1970s-1990s, but a few are the old, hardbound books with fragile pages.
