Please welcome back our lady of the hour, author Keli Gwyn. All week long we’ve dished about A Bride Opens Shop in El Dorado, California. On Monday, I reviewed Keli’s debut novel. Wednesday we “chatted” with mercantile owner Miles Rutledge. Today, Keli will be ending our week with a surprise guest post. Take it away, Keli! ****** Finding the Balance Between Fact …
Party week is continuing for début author Keli Gwyn today! On Monday, I reviewed A Bride Opens Shop in El Dorado, California. Today, I’ve invited a gentleman from the pages of Keli’s wonderful story to step into my parlor for a moment to chat. (Not to worry. This isn’t an etiquette faux pas, as you’re here with me!) Please accept this cup of …
This week at my cyber home, I’ve officially proclaimed it to be “Love on Keli Gwyn week.” (I’ve planned this for a long time, so I’m super excited that you stopped by!) If you like parties, prizes, and books, then you’ll want to be sure and join in the fun today, Wednesday, and Friday. And don’t forget to stop by the refreshment …

I’m taking the day off from blogging today so I can devote time to my WIP, but I did want to remind you of a few things: * Last Friday I was the guest blogger at Writer…Interrupted. I spoke about the writing craft and shared some thoughts on things that writers don’t often talk about. I hope you’ll pop over and …
I recently registered for the 2012 American Christian Fiction Writers conference in Dallas. The annual ACFW conference is one of the largest writers conferences in the United States with over 700 people in attendance last year alone. I expect that number to grow this year. If you’re serious about your writing career and you would like to further your craft, then …
I’m a hopeless romantic. I adore gallantry. I swoon over Hallmark commercials. I’m fond of roses, chocolates, sentimental cards, and handwritten notes. When a heart-melting moment catches me off-guard, I’m completely undone. I’ll usually say something like, “Oh, that’s sooo romantic!” And my husband will just grin like he completely doesn’t “get it,” but indeed, he does. Since I’m a writer, …
Recently, I had the opportunity to hook up with my friend and agent-mate, Sarah Forgrave. (Isn’t she lovely?) Sarah and her family were vacationing in the area and she and I met for coffee and conversation one morning. I hadn’t seen her since the ACFW conference last year so it was great to catch up and dish writing. Sarah is one …
There’s no doubt that authors today need to be active in social networking. To what degree is somewhat debatable, but it’s generally thought that a blog, Twitter, and Facebook are great places to start. While there are dozens of social media avenues, those are the three I’ve chosen for now. (Eventually, I might see the point of Pinterest, but at present, I just don’t …
Because we live in a world where instant gratification is the norm, rarely do we pick up a novel and continue to read without an immediate connection. That “connection” might be the subject matter, the writing style, or the author’s unique individuality. Then again, the reader magnetism might just be the story.
