Ahhh. Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite holidays! Just mention the word valentine and I go all mushy inside. Of course I would. (There’s a reason I live, breathe, and write romance. I’m a romantic! A huge one.) And I’m always on a mission. Remember that little pocket notebook I carry? Often, when I’m out and about and I see …
It’s finally here–> Happy Valentine’s Day! Here’s wishing you and yours a heartfelt greeting. I pray your day is filled with oodles of love and warmth and that you’re surrounded by those who are truly special in your life. Whether married or single–in a relationship or not–may you always know there’s One who loves and adores you above all others. …
I think as writers, it’s only natural that we project a certain amount of ourselves into the stories we create. Some may refer to “it” as voice, style, or even vision. We breathe life into our characters by way of our own experiences and revelations. Since we’re all unique, it’s important that we stay true to ourselves, and write what we know, …
It was a pleasure last week to have author Keli Gwyn visiting. Though the deadlines for those blog drawings are past, if you didn’t get a chance to read those posts, you really should. Keli is a rising star in Christian fiction and just an all-around fabulous gal! The winner of Friday’s drawing is Patti J! Patti has won a copy of Keli’s …
If only the gentleman at the sporting good store knew he’d be the subject of a blog post, I wonder if the anniversary gift for his wife might have been different. I bet not. Here’s why: he had the look. Ladies, you know the one I’m talking about. The one that says (quite unabashedly) It’s all about me. And, lest I …
Recently, I stopped at a fast food restaurant for an iced tea and a salad. Seated two tables across from me was an elderly couple in their early eighties (I’m guessing). The gentleman sported a somewhat wrinkled blue work shirt with faded blue jeans and sensible looking shoes. His wife wore a beige polyester dress, complete with a strand of dime store beads. Pausing briefly …
Recently I spoke about marketing, gimmicks, and being a savvy consumer. As I mentioned before, “gimmicks” affect everything we buy–from the simple to the complex. Marketing tools and tricks abound. Many of the purchases we make are based on desire, eye appeal, and internal/external expectations. Distributors know that if they play on our sympathy, we’ll usually cave. If they convince us …
In my previous posts Isn’t It Romantic and 10 Reasons Why I Write (Faith-based) Romance, I touched on matters of the heart and why I write what I do. The art of romance shouldn’t be rocket science, but many times, the perception of romance is so distorted by what media and television purport it should be, our views become skewed and God’s original …
Today I’d like to share a little about me. Some things I may have talked about in previous posts, but a few tidbits may be new. Okay, here’s the scoop: I’m a spirit-filled gal who’s not afraid to show it. I believe there’s only one way to our Heavenly Father and that’s through Jesus Christ, His Son. Red is my favorite …
I’ve always been a “go for broke” kind of person. In other words, I believe anything that’s worth doing is worth doing well. I think when we’re younger, we tend to hang back a bit because of fear. Not just reluctance–fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of peer perceptions. And maybe, as odd as it sounds, even fear of success. In …
