(Super fun giveaway info at the bottom of this post!) Okay, let’s just get something out on the table once and for all: I HAVE A CRUSH ON MY OWN FAKE HERO. ♥♥♥ I know, you totally didn’t know that. I totally haven’t talked about it tons on Facebook and everywhere. I totally haven’t been obvious about it. (Lies.) FINE. I’ve been …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Joanne Bischof returns!
The past year has been an awesome one for debut Christian fiction…and one of my absolute favorite debuts of last year was Joanne Bischof. Her Be Still My Soul is this beautiful piece of historical Appalachian fiction. I loved it so much that when she visited Tag(g)lines the first time, I interrupted my own writing getaway to film her intro video…while …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Peter Leavell …and a giveaway!
I’m so thrilled to have today’s guest here at Tag(g)lines–author Peter Leavell! I met Peter just briefly at the recent ACFW Conference after he gave a fabulous devotional on Saturday morning. I laughed. I cried. And that’s the truth. I’m itching to read his debut novel, Gideon’s Call, which releases next week. Now, because I love getting to help promote …

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Evangeline Denmark
You know what’s so not easy? Answer: writing kissing scenes. For real, people. If you’re a writer, you know this. But you know what’s even more difficult? Listening to said scene being read aloud…in a group setting…with your mom present. Okay, I’ve not been through this, but today’s guest poster—the lovely and hilarious Evangeline Denmark—has! Evangeline is the co-author of …
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 …
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 …
