First things first: I made a mistake in my intro video for today’s guest. Tyler Parson is the pastor of CrossRidge Church, not CrossPoint. I would totally retape the intro … except I’m in my pajamas … no makeup … and I truly want to spare you all. But Tyler, I’m sorry for the verbal typo. 🙂 Sooo…today’s guest poster …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Katie Ganshert
Yay, I’m so excited to welcome novelist Katie Ganshert! I think I was first introduced to Katie through the blogosphere. The more I read her blog, the more I couldn’t wait to read her debut novel, Wildflowers from Winter. It’s. so. good! So much so that I have a firm need to spread the book love. Which means…it’s contest time! …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Tiffany Colter
Whether you’re an author looking to build your platform, a blogger hoping to expand your viral reach, a speaker, entrepreneur…or heck, a birthday party clown in search of your next big gig…you just can’t get away from the big M. By which I mean marketing. Not Melissa. Because I prefer not to be called “big.” We’ve been talking about marketing …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Wynn-Wynn Media
So, who else besides me used to imagine being an author like this: dream up story, write story, magically publish story…move on to next story? In the past few years, I’ve seen the light.

I believe the first romantic line about kissing came from a young woman who didn’t feel good enough to belong to the man who loved her completely. She says, “I am dark, but lovely.” My favorite line from her is: “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is sweeter than wine.” That’s a sigh …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Jessica Patch
Confession: I sort of went into this blogging thing kicking and screaming. (Literally? Figuratively? Guess!) It was hard to commit to blogging when I wanted to spend time with my good friend Mr. Novel. But I knew I needed to do it. What I didn’t know was that in addition to helping me hone my voice and who I am …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Beth Vogt
How excited am I to welcome Beth Vogt for Welcome Mat Wednesday? Picture Frosty the Snowman in Antarctica. Yup, that’s me, jumping for joy right alongside him…in a furry parka. Okay, totally lame analogy. But what’s not lame is the presence of Beth Vogt here at Tag(g)lines. Beth is truly one of those women I look at and think, dude, …
