Tips from the Pros: Angela Breidenbach
Greetings from north-of-Orlando Mount Dora, Florida, where the soggy remnants of Tropical Storm Colin are steaming their way out of our backyards. But I know the weather where Angela Breidenbach (the lovely subject of today’s author interview) lives looks a bit different. Angela, a former Mrs. Montana International, still lives in that northwestern state when she’s not busy participating in author events, teaching at conferences, or traveling in her role as president of the Christian Authors Network. Angie has lots to share, so let’s move on to the Q & A. Welcome back to the CAN blog, Angela! How many books do you have published? Nine, with…
Tips From the Pros: Lynda T. Young
Greetings from Kevin Thompson in the sunny South! Today, we take a trek into an area that is affecting more and more people, it seems, each year. I, being an administrator at a middle school by day (and a writer at all other times), am dealing with this issue more and more. The topic is Autism. And our special guest today is Lynda Young! Lynda, welcome to the CAN front porch! Let’s get started! First question: How many books do you have published? What are a few of your latest titles? I have three books published in the You Are Not…
Tips from the Pros: Gail Gaymer Martin
Greetings from steamy, summery (even before summer officially begins) but beautiful Mount Dora, Florida. Today, I have the privilege of interviewing a friend I’ve never met. Gail Gaymer Martin and I share several writing connections (including CAN) that have allowed us to pray for one another, as well as a “Gail” connection (her first name is my middle one). Gail is a multi-published novelist with lots of insights about marketing and promotion, so let’s get right to her encore interview. Welcome back to the CAN blog, Gail. How many books do you have published? What are a few of your latest…
Tips from the Pros: Maureen Pratt
Greetings from lovely Mount Dora, Florida, where we’re experiencing a few welcome weeks of spring before we move into our sticky summer weather. Today, I’ll share a special encore interview with author Maureen Pratt. Maureen comes to publishing from the unique perspective of a lupus and hypothyroid patient who also serves as an advocate for others suffering from chronic disease. Far from negative, her books and her speaking provide hope, help, and practical inspiration. Welcome, Maureen! How many books do you have published, and what are a few of your latest titles? I have seven published books, and my newest one is releasing this spring: Don’t Panic!:…
Perseverance PR
This month, Dr James Dobson aired a two day interview with us on Family Talk radio on our book Red Hot Monogamy. (Radio Show Day 1; Day 2) Dr Dobson is one of the most respected leaders in marriage and family ministry. He was the founder of Focus on the Family in 1977 and now almost 40 years later, he is still on air sharing Biblical wisdom around the world.
Tips from the Pros: Torry Martin
So, I met this author, screenplay writer, comedian, speaker, teacher, and ex-reindeer handler at the Florida Christian Writers Conference a couple of years ago. I had the privilege of attending his continuing class on screenwriting. At that time, he was editing his new book, and we got to hear a chapter (the one with the Christmas lawn ornaments and the BB gun?). Since then, I’ve watched as God has blessed this author with one awesome opportunity after another. So, let me introduce you to my friend, Torry Martin! Welcome, Torry! It’s been a busy year for you in many areas….
Tip From the Pros – Nancy Mehl
Welcome from C. Kevin Thompson! The more I write, the more I become appreciative of those who have gone before me and “blazed a trail,” if you will. It’s no small feat to write multiple books, especially when it was done before the advent of the modern self-publishing phenomenon. I know of many people who tell me they’ve started a book. It’s the finishing that’s the hard part. That’s why writers like our guest keep me writing. They’ve shown that good, old-fashioned hard work, perseverance through times both good and not-so-much, and a persistent pursuit to hone their craft pay off…

Good morning from Colorado. Davalynn Spencer here, happy to introduce author Laurie Alice Eakes who has some great things to share.
