Southern fiction is relatively new sub-genre. Authors have been penning Southern fiction stories for years. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and state that Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, published in 1936, is a Southern fiction (very long, very well-received) novel. It takes place in the South, which has its unique style of culture, idioms, and customs. …
My husband and I recently started viewing the Bible show The Chosen—the historical drama based on the life of Jesus Christ. It was created by Dallas Jenkins, whose father Jerry Jenkins wrote the Left Behind books with Tim LaHaye. If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to do so. I can’t say it’s Biblically accurate, but the writers do …
I was blessed this month to feature two new-to-me authors—Shannon Kent and Cheri Swalwell. The process of finding interviewees, then interviewing them, then scheduling their episodes can be a bit tricky when it comes to timing. A couple of weeks ago, I did an interview with an author whose episode will not publish until March, but we were talking a …

It’s happened to all of us at one time or another. God’s Spirit whispering to ours in a way that we could so easily dismiss as coincidence or a random thought we conjured up on our own. When I think back to all the pain and heartache I could’ve saved myself if I had only been wise (and faithful) enough …
Envy. It’s an insidious four-letter word we’re all familiar with—some of us more intimately than others. Dictionary.com defines it as “a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another’s advantages, success, possessions, etc.” I never gave this emotion much thought as a sin until I was slapped with the word Covetousness. As a former Catholic girl, I learned the …
About the Book Book: Why They Call It Falling Author: Christina Sinisi Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance Release date: June 7, 2022 Formerly the wild child of three sisters, Emma Marano grew up to be a single mom working two jobs, estranged from her mother, and lying to her friends.

Here we are in month two of my new Between the Lines podcast. It has been such an incredible blessing to meet with these ladies. I might even get a male author interested in being interviewed, but the majority of Christian fiction authors happen to be women. It’s amazing to hear the different stories and find out how long these …
I don’t know about you, but the older I get, the more bittersweet the holidays become. Maybe it’s because most of those who were such a part of my childhood are now gone. My grandparents, my mom and dad, and even my brother. The crazier this world becomes, the more I long for simpler times. Or maybe they weren’t simpler; …
I was asked to take a sentimental walk down memory lane to do my part for These Simple Gifts release week. Considering the title and the fact it’s a Christmas book, makes sense author Jennifer Sienes would ask me to tell y’all about my most memorable Christmas gift. Oh, and before I forget, make sure to enter for a chance …
