FUN NEWS & a GIVEAWAY (for The Chosen novelization by Jerry B. Jenkins)

February 16, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

Happy Tuesday from ICY Nashville, Tennessee! I don't know what the weather is like in your corner of the world but Nashville is slip slidin' away! Give me snow any day over treacherous black ice. Our lovely city is pretty much closed down at present, but the hope of warmer temps springs eternal. As does the hope for Spring itself! Just as I love the changing of seasons in nature, I'm finding … [Read more...]

How to Write Prolifically & Productively Anywhere

February 5, 2021 By Jody Hedlund

As a mom who has homeschooled five children, the number one question I’ve been asked is: “How do you find time to write?” A second close question is: “In such a busy household, where do you write most productively?” I’ve touched on the first question before, but I can’t remember talking much about the second.

I did it because I thought I ought … [Read more...]

Should Authors Stick to Writing in One Genre?

January 22, 2021 By Jody Hedlund

A fellow writer recently asked me: “How do you stick to one story? I find I have an overabundance of stories I'd love to tell, but they're scattered over different genres and times in history. I try to write whatever I can, just to get the stories down and find my voice, but it's so hard to choose just one and stick to it!” When I first started my journey to publication, the general opinion in … [Read more...]

Release Week Jitters & Fun

January 14, 2021 By Cara Putman

Tuesday Lethal Intent winged it's way into the big wide world. Be sure to read to the end, because I want to give a copy to one of you. If I were better at using GIFs, this is where I'd insert one of a cartoon character chewing his fingernails to nubs next to high fives and squeals. Even though this is book 35 or 36, it's still a highwire act of emotion when a book is released. I spent an hour … [Read more...]
