Welcome Mat Wednesday: Beth Vogt is back … again!

Simply put: Beth Vogt is one of my favorite people around the author world. She’s also the only person who has guested here at Tag(g)lines three times. And I didn’t even have to bribe her! Beth’s sophomore novel, Catch a Falling Star, came out this month and it’s a not-to-be-missed story, folks. The characters are heart-tugging, the plot is so …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Ian Acheson

It’s kind of a monumental day here at Tag(g)lines…we have our first international guest! Author Ian Acheson comes to us from down under…i.e. Australia! How exciting is that? The only thing that would make today’s post better would be if I had a video of all Ian’s answers so we could hear his accent. 🙂 Ian is the author of …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Katie Ganshert is back!

You know who rocks? Author Katie Ganshert! And you what rocks? The fact that she’s here today answering fun questions about her second novel, Wishing on Willows……which, by the way, is fab-u-lous. I was a Katie Ganshert fan from the first page of her first book, so heading into her second story, I knew I was in for a treat. Wishing …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Mary Connealy

Once again, I’m ultra-apologetic about the lack of usual intro video today. Video-related internet woes continue…and even if I had time to fight with my sloooow internet, I’m having a bad hair day, so…really, it’s better this way.Okay, how excited am I to welcome Mary Connealy to Tag(g)lines today? Over-the-top, that’s how. I love Mary’s books, her sense of humor…her …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Anne Mateer…and a two-book giveaway!

You know what I love? I love picking up a book by a new-to-me author and realizing within the first chapter I’ve come across a new fave. That’s how I felt last fall when I read Anne Mateer’s At Every Turn. I quickly gobbled up Anne’s first book, Wings of a Dream, as well. In the months since, I’ve so …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Gina Conroy

Hey everybody! First of all, an apology for the lack of video intro today. I’m prepping this post on Tuesday while home sick. Boo. But trust me, nobody should have to see a video of me looking as I do today. Nobody. (Unless he’s a handsome doctor with magical meds.) Today’s guest is author Gina Conroy! Gina and I are …

A suh-weet giveaway and a little break.

So, I did a royalty-free stock image search for the word “focus” and this is what came up. Really?Photo credit: stock.xchng Here’s the thing: I need to finish my next book. And I need to focus. And I was reminded recently of a verse I blogged about more than a year ago: “Be strong and do the work.” ~1 Chronicles 28:10 Do the work. …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Julie Saffrin

What? No intro video? I’m so sorry, folks. My webcam is going bonkers and I’ve loaned out my Flip camera for a couple days. Thus, for the first time since last December, I don’t have a vlog introducing today’s special guest. Please accept my ardent apologies. But know this, you’re better off. Today my hair looks like I’ve been buddying …

Teensy-weensy blogging break.

Hey friends, I’m taking a one-day hiatus from the blogosphere. It’ll be back to blogging business as usual on Wednesday with a guest post from awesome author and 2012 Carol Award finalist Erica Vetsch. That same day, I’m a guest on the ACFW blog, so I hope you’ll pop over there, as well. Also, there’s one more day to enter the …
