Just do it = just say no?

May 26, 2014 By Deborah Raney

Wishing all of our friends and readers a very special and meaningful Memorial Day, and offering our deepest gratitude to those who have served our country and given their lives that we might enjoy the freedoms we are so privileged to enjoy.

In the Works: WWII Fiction + Friends + Cover Reveal!

May 21, 2014 By Tricia Goyer

One thing readers maybe not realize is the friendships between Christian authors. Some of my best friends are fellow authors. We help each other, we support each other, and we UNDERSTAND each other!

However, when I first saw the cover for my e-single novella, A Cowboy Unmatched, I was a little confused. You see, in my novella, the heroine Clara is 9 months pregnant. Nowhere in the story does she sport the svelte figure of the lovely … [Read more...]

There’s Always a New Story to be Told

May 14, 2014 By Robin Lee Hatcher
