This month I want to introduce you to my friend and fellow Christian Mommy Writer Author, Carrie Cotten. I will be meeting up with two other authors in May to sell our books at the Thrive Homeschool Conference in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Carrie has a series of books that are Christian historical fiction with romance during medieval times another series that is speculative Christian fiction with romance.  Below find out more about Carrie and her books: 1 . Tell us a bit about yourself! Where you’re from, your family, hobbies, favorite things—anything fun you’d like to share!  I’m a Louisiana girl, born and raised but now living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My favorite things are eating good food and slow, lazy days where we don’t have to get out of our pajamas. 2. When did you feel called to become an author? Why do you write? Do you have a favorite writing verse? I feel called to be an author for several reasons. First, I can humbly confirm Go...

I can't wait to jump into this interview with my good friend and fellow Christian Mommy Writer, author Latisha Sexton! In fact, I believe she's the one who introduced me to Christian Mommy Writers. She's also part of another writers' group I'm in that meets once a month, and I am so thankful to know her. I should mention she reads so widely across the Christian fiction genres that she's a wealth of knowledge. Latisha has written 7 books: three are in multiauthor series (two in a hockey series and another in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker Series), two are a Christian romantic suspense duology-the In the Midst of Series, one is a romcom--Bram Baxter Marries the Wrong Sister, and last but probably one of my favorites is Neverending Mercy (Christian fiction with romance). All of her books have faith elements. Read on to find out all about her.  Tell us a bit about yourself! Where you’re from, your family, hobbies, favorite things—anything fun you’d like to share! ...

  Revelation 19:6-9 ESV - Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; 8 it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure"-- for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. 9 And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb ." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God." February is the month of love, and as we finish it out I can't help but speak of Christ's love. As a writer of Christian romance, love is often in the forefront of my mind. We long for love stories with heroes who protect us both physically and emotionally, and who love us unconditionally. Yet it is...

  Kim Griffin's review: Happy release day to Mandi Blake! I loved this emotional roller coaster of a book with its beautiful theme of redemption. Read my review below. Love Undercover by Mandi Blake delivers a powerful story of redemption that will resonate deeply with Christian romantic suspense readers. This is an unlikely love story done beautifully, with emotional depth and spiritual truth woven throughout. Zach Wilson was imprisoned for abducting Lauren Vincent, yet she becomes the very person who extends forgiveness to him. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly transforms into something deeper as Lauren's Christ-like love creates space for healing and change. Fans of the Love in Blackwater Series will enjoy seeing familiar faces, though this book works perfectly as a standalone. This presents a stunning picture of God's redemptive power. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic between hardened Zach and Lauren who radiates Christ’s love works wonderfully. Lauren shine...
