Becoming a writer has ruined me for reading fiction. From the time I can remember, I’ve always loved to get lost in a good book. Stories had the ability to take me from my uneventful life and plop me into an adventure. When we were little, my mom would take us to the library during the summer, and I could …

Head’s up for all you conventional folks out there, this is not your usual blog post. My name is Charlotte Van Cleave—but most everyone calls me Charlie. Author (and character-creator) Jennifer Sienes asked me to write this week’s post. You see, her newest novel Night Songs is kind of about me. If that sounds prideful, I apologize. I’m not sure …
Every story I write is steeped in biblical truth. In fact, I get inspiration most often from Bible scriptures or devotionals that I read. I thought it appropriate that I write my own devotional based upon Night Songs for my readers. I hope this will be a blessing to you. You can view me reading this devotional below if you …
My newest novel, Night Songs, takes place in Shelbyville, Tennessee, although the characters travel outside of their small Bedford County.

Often when we read a book, we just want to be entertained. It can be an activity that takes us from the humdrum of our own lives and allows us a mental vacation. However, I always like to come away from a reading experience with a little more knowledge than I started with whether it’s an historical fiction, romantic suspense, …
Over the last month, I’ve done several podcast interviews. The motivation behind them started as a way to get a little noise for Night Songs, but I’m reminded (again) that God often has an agenda beyond our own. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Have you ever noticed that things …

Our move from Northern California to middle Tennessee took two months from conception to completion. God opened doors so fast, we had to run to keep up. This is one reason I know we were meant to be here. However, I was unaware of the Lord’s plans when, months before, I discovered one of my favorite music groups would be …
