Television Inspiration

February 19, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

I'm a sucker for a good BBC period drama, and my new favorite is one some of you might already be familiar with - Lark Rise to Candleford.

This is done through the story of the … [Read more...]

Love on the Mend

February 5, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

I'm excited to announce that my latest project, Love on the Mend, has just released!

Why Writers Don’t Write – Sometimes

January 16, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

Before I became an author, I never realized all of the various aspects that went into being an author. I thought I'd write one book send it off and then start on the next. My life would be filled with writing one beautiful, touching story after the next.
