Do you know what’s the absolute best part of writing a book? It’s when the book is all done and out there in the world and you, as the author, hear back from readers. I had the wonderful delight of hearing back from a reader, Brittany, shortly after From the Start’s release. One of the things Brittany told me in her email …
Five times Kate Walker is…me.
In the past month or so as my new book From the Start has landed in early readers’ and reviewers’ hands, I’ve been asked one question more than any other: Are you Kate Walker? It’s a logical question. Kate is, after all, a writer of romantic stories. She’s from Iowa. She loves old movies. Her hair can’t decide whether it’s curly …
It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! (+ giveaways galore)
Excuse me if I turn a little bit crazy amounts of giddy! And emotional. And giddy. Because the book I once thought might neverrrrr get done is out in the world in both paperback and digital form.

(It used to be the oddest object I’d ever found in my bed…until the day I looked EVERYWHERE for my DVD superdrive …

It feels like just yesterday I was trying to figure out who these people are who make up the cast of FROM THE START. And, too, asking myself questions like why in the world I decided to stick a …
A chance to win FROM THE START galleys!
My upcoming book FROM THE START, which releases in April, is all about a retired NFL quarterback and a jaded writer of romantic made-for-TV movies. Writing my heroine scriptwriter wasn’t such a stretch for me. Sure, it took a little research to discover where and how Hallmark-esque movies are made. But I felt up for the task. Writing a football …
Did you win?? And a new book cover!
Last night I participated in the Bethany House Book Banter. Oh my goodness…So. Much. Fun. The questions flew like crazy and I did my best to answer as many as possible. (If you were there, though, and I missed your question, you can find me pretty much anywhere online. Just ask away again and I’ll answer!) Thanks soooo much to …
