Oh, What Fun It is to Visit with Readers & Giveaway

August 22, 2024 By Cara Putman

Last night I had the joy of connecting with readers at a nearby library. I love the opportunity to spend time with those who love books.

March 14, 2024 By Cara Putman

The spring Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt, that is? I love these hunts. They are such a great way for me to discover new authors by going through the hunt and learning more about authors who are friends and discovering new authors. I always learn something about their books, too. It's such fun. And this year's collection of books is fabulous. Just look at them:  It's so easy to join … [Read more...]

A Gift for You: Fun Bookmarks

February 22, 2024 By Cara Putman

Today I thought I would do something different as I race toward a book deadline on Monday. I thought you'd enjoy downloading and using these. One can never have enough bookmarks right? So I had fun creating these for you. You can copy and paste these into a Word document and print them to use in your next book as a reminder of all the reasons you love reading good books. If you were to create … [Read more...]
