A Warm Welcome to Denise Weimer Denise will give away an e-Book of A Harvest Heart . To enter to win leave an email address and a comment below. Hi Denise, tell us what inspired you to write A Harvest Heart.   A friend of my husband from college who also became a writer contacted me about joining The Georgia Peaches Series. This MAP (Multiple Author Project) features monthly contemporary Christian romance novellas set in Georgia. Since I’ve always been a Georgia peach and 95% of my stories are set in my home state, it seemed a perfect fit. I found that releasing independently published novellas between my traditional, full-length book releases is a good way to stay connected to my readers. Plus, I’m a sucker for seasonal romances. My first Georgia Peaches story, A Holiday Heart  is set in December, also in the North Georgia mountains.   What do you love about this book? And what do you hope readers will tell others about it?  I have a meme that sums it up. ...

Psalm 37:4 This verse has been “my verse” since I was a teen and was struggling with a disappointment that had so little to do with what I wanted, and so much to do with what God wanted FOR me. It was years later that I learned, and used as the foundation for my first book, Carolina Dream , that when we literally delight in the Lord, it’s not our “wishes” that we should focus on, but instead that His desires become our desires! Mom's Pecan Pie I struggled to choose between two different pie recipes, both of which I received from my mother – chocolate pie, or pecan pie? Today, since I’m highlighting book 2 in the Southern Breeze ...

A Warm Welcome to Julie Cosgrove Julie will give away one ebook of Dumpster Dicing and Til Dice Do Us Part to one commentor. Whoever goes online to her website and signs up for her  newsletter will get the FREE novella prequel, The Blame Game. Lots of writers enjoyed reading as children. Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? I remember every night pulling out the bottom drawer of the wardrobe in Mom and Dad’s bedroom and picking out a Golden book for Mom to read to me. At an early age she introduced me to the local library, and we’d go every two weeks to pick out four books. I loved the smell of the books in that place. I even considered becoming a librarian.  When I was twelve, I read The Ivy Tree by the late British author, Mary Stewart. I was hooked! I read every one of her suspense romance novels. Or so I thought. About two years ago I discovered her last one, which I had never read, The Rose Cottage . Oh, the day that one came in ...
