Kelly Irvin is one of my talented friends who joined me for a conversation about her diverse writing genres: romantic suspense and Amish. In this conversation, Kelly and I discuss the fun and challenges of writing in two different genres at the same time. Kelly also talks about why San Antonio, her adopted hometown, is the setting for her romantic suspense. She also shares some of the research she's done for her Amish books, including going to the locations for things like the bee auction.

Y'all, I'm thrilled that Rachel Hauck is back to talk about her new royal romance, To Save a King. It was so fun! We also took questions about indie publishing and audiobooks. That was so fun to chat about before we also answered some about staying fit as writers and women. It was another fun conversation. I'm so glad you can join in!

Beth Vogt is one of my dearest writing friends. She is a gifted writer, but she is also a woman with rich spiritual depth. Our conversation is about writing, the importance of community (both writing and real-life) and so much more. I hope you enjoy learning more about her Thatcher Sisters series (aka Little Women gone wrong).

Do you love Jane Austen? Love a great romance set in Regency England? Then you will love this conversation with Kristi Ann Hunter. We talked about her new release Winning the Gentleman (Excellent!), how I binged all her books in two and half weeks (they're that good!), the spiritual lesson in our shared favorite painting (van Gogh's Starry Nights), and so much more (IG reels, folks!). We also talk about how she plots (or doesn’t) her books, and how she decides which character gets a book next (some of it has to do with who her readers email her about). We may have also discussed all the heroes who deserve (seriously deserve) their own books. Come join us and see why you absolutely must read her novels.
