I was a little late to the game when I discovered my first Cara Putman book. She’d already had quite a number of books out by the time I heard about her novel, Stars in the Night. It’s a romantic murder mystery set on a Hollywood Victory Train in 1942. Anybody who knows me knows that’s so totally going to …
Because I’m better at giveaways than Christmas cards…
There are two main reasons I don’t send out Christmas cards. 1. People usually give an update on their year in Christmas letters, right? Well, I’m pretty sure I’ve already written about the most interesting parts of my year here on this blog or on Facebook or wherever. And anything I didn’t already write about…well, if I wasn’t willing to …

The men of Made to Last…and my very first ARC giveaway!!
Photo credit:Teerapun at freedigitalphotos.net I’ve had a few people ask me why I put three potential heroes in Made to Last. Well, it’s like this: I took the Amplified Bible approach. Which is, why say in seven words what you can say in twenty-eight? Or in my case, why settle for one guy when you could have three? Not exactly a …
