I thoroughly enjoy featuring fiction authors on my website, but today’s post is an interview with someone close to my heart—Denise Barela. She is an amazing author, editor, and on-fire Christian woman. She’s also my virtual assistant and daughter of my publisher. So, this is a special blessing for me, and I pray it will be for you, as well. …
Over the last several weeks, I’ve interviewed with different podcasters, and every one of them was a blessing. Mike Moffitt, the associate pastor at University Place Presbyterian Church near Tacoma, Washington, was one such person. I had the dubious distinction of being his first fiction author. We had an engaging conversation about my writing journey, from where I draw inspiration, …

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. Nana’s house, where Charlie Van Cleave escapes to when her life goes sideways, was inspired by a real, rundown home in the outskirts of Shelbyville. Shelbyville’s town square is set atop a hill, and …

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.
