Greetings from Sarah Sundin in California! Today I have the privilege of interviewing historical fiction author Roseanna White. I’ve enjoyed getting to know her on line, and love her skill with words and her sense of humor. Roseanna, how did you get into writing? I’ve been writing since I learned how to put pencil to paper in primary school. It was a day when I was out sick with an ear infection that I realized I could entertain myself by scratching a story about a princess with a magical hair bow on some scrap paper–and there’s been no stopping me…
Month: February 2013
This is our archive pageNo Bookstore Around — You can Still Have a Signing!
Hello! Pamela S. Meyers here with another article on book promotion. My theme for these monthly articles started out with a focus on marketing your debut novel. That was over a year ago. I now have two more books coming out in the next couple of months so my view has shifted. Love Will Find a Way is releasing within the next couple of weeks, then fast on the heels of that book, Love Finds You in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin releases on April 1, 2013. A couple short years ago if I’d been told I’d have one book already published…
Mind Of Her Own – A New Release
Mind Of Her Own by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer Who knew making dinner could change your life? Louisa Copeland certainly didn’t. But when the George Foreman grill fell out of the pantry onto her head, resulting in a bump and a mighty case of amnesia, Louisa’s life takes a turn for the unexpected. Who was this Collin fellow, claiming she was his wife? And whose kids are those? Her name couldn’t be Louisa. Why, she was the renowned romance writer Jazz Sweet, not a Midwestern mom of three. Struggling to put the pieces together of the life she’s told she had,…
Your Devotional
Hello! Maureen Pratt here with my monthly CAN blog. This time, some thoughts on writing the devotional. The devotional is intensely personal, but can also provide tremendous support for many. I've experienced this first-hand. When I was first diagnosed with lupus, I suffered from a number of life-threatening symptoms. None, however, was as confounding as the non-life-threatening phenomenon of lupus brain fog, which is much like looking at the world through a pea-soup fog on a chilly day. It isn't permanent, much like those clouds of fog, and it doesn't cause changes in the brain, per se. But it does make memories…
Author Kathy Howard on writing and promoting
Today I’m happy to introduce author Kathy Howard as she shares highlights from her amazing writing journey. You’ll be encouraged by her discoveries and innovative suggestions. Thanks for reading! ~Davalynn Spencer Kathy, tell us how you first became involved in writing. My passion for teaching the Bible led me to writing. About 10 years ago, God dropped me into the middle of a teaching ministry to spiritual seekers. After using the material I had for a while, I knew I could develop curriculum that would better meet that group’s specific needs. I was in seminary at the time…

The Power of Words
Hi, Sherry Kyle here, encouraging you from my laptop in Central California. Have you ever said something you later regretted? Maybe you wrote something you wish would disappear from cyber space. Or maybe you were the recipient from someone’s harsh criticism. I relate to each one of these. I’m sure you do too. As authors we also put our characters through difficult relationships. The only way our characters will grow is if they go through conflict. After all, life is complicated and messy. Right?
