Dishing with Di: Bygone Days
So much is missing! History wasn’t my favorite subject in school. All those dry dates of battles and events. Bleh! These days I’m not sure true history is even taught. During my teens my favorite books to read were those romances set in the south, ala: GONE WITH THE WIND. Personally, I thought Scarlett a… Continue reading Dishing with Di: Bygone Days

Got books? Give thanks!
What does Thanksgiving mean? Scary Turkey! To the majority in the United States, Thanksgiving translates into jumbo turkeys, sage stuffing, pumpkin pies, loosened belts or afternoon sweat pants, friends, family, wine (some whining) and endless expectations of the perfect holiday. Good food and good family equals an overall good time. Right? But for all the… Continue reading Got books? Give thanks!
Deception, Lies, Pressure | Single Christian Girl
Attention writers and readers of Inspy Romance.
This just in from Inside Cup. Blogger and devoted Christian, T.R. Noble has some serious charges to level at the Christian Romance genre.
Is she right? Wrong?
Has the Inspirational market crossed the line into glorified temptation? Or is Noble, despite noble intentions, seeking a scapegoat for fallen human nature?
It’s often not a love of the Lord that sees temptation everywhere.
It’s fear. (And not the filial kind that places abundant trust in a loving Father.)
Write on…
This is at least going to be a two-part post series. Today is the introduction. We’re going to discuss how deception sinks not only in romance movies/books but in Christian romance novels as well. We’re going to talk about the pressure set in the world around us.
Looking back now, I only had media and the googly eyes students gave each other in the hall to have a glimpse of what I thought was a relationship in the world of dating. I honestly think my main desire at 12 was to be liked by someone. For someone to notice me like I noticed them. *Cue the imaginative “fantasy” of the boy I crushed on saying he liked me. Gasp! And end curtain.
That was it.

#DVpit, 10 Things I Noticed
Staying on top of trends is critical whether you’re a writer or reader wanting to know what’s going to show up at your book club.
Just sayin’.
Check out what serialized author of The Bachelorette Blogger René Penn has to say and…
Write on.
“We’re just posting about our awesome manuscripts.”
Yesterday, October 17, was #DVpit on Twitter for adult fiction and nonfiction books.
“What’s that?”
Writers from diverse backgrounds pitched their completed, unpublished manuscript ideas in a tweet. Since it was an organized, publicized effort, agents checked the #DVpit feed on Twitter, looking for manuscripts they may be interested in reading—and hopefully representing.
If an agent likes someone’s tweet-pitch, they click that lovely heart button underneath. A “like” notifies the author that said agent would like a submission of the manuscript.
Since it began in 2016, #DVpit has seen more than 80 authors get signed with agents. And 35 books have won contracts. — #DVpit
I find this whole process fascinating, so I checked on Twitter several times during the day to see how it was going. Here’s what I noticed.
