Romance is in the Air — Julie Coulter Bellon
I’m excited to spotlight Julie! She and I were originally published by the same small press, back in the early 2000s. Since then we have done an anthology together, as well–Under the Mistletoe. She’s such an insightful writer. Enjoy! Love’s Journey Home Olivia Dalton […]
Everything Hits at Once
Am I right? Does it seem like life comes in waves, where there’s nothing, nothing, nothing for a while, and then BAM! you’re over your head? I kind of felt like that in a bad way from March until September, but I won’t go into it or I’ll sound like a whiner. No whiners! I […]
My Little Pair of Self-Pubbing Tips
So I’ve been working on self-publishing for about a year and a half. I’ve also got a book on spec at a traditional publisher, so I’m not leaving that behind. Just…romance is a good genre to self-pub. Anyway, lately I’ve had quite a few people ask me the difference between putting a book up on […]
Four Cool Things That Happened in 2014
This morning I sat down with my list of goals called “Stuff I Want to Do in 2014.” When I wrote it a year ago, I didn’t realize what kinds of opportunities and adventures would come my way this year. It made me reflect on some of the super cool unexpected things that happened this year […]
New Cover Reveal — Immersed
Okay, I didn’t actually think this would happen, but all of a sudden, Immersed has a new cover! I’m so excited. I love these models and the look on their faces and how well they fit the story. It’s just…awesome. Big thank you to Rachael Renee Anderson for her incredible skills. She’s pretty dang amazing, […]
Three Reasons I Like Self-Publishing–But Other Routes Have Merit Too
A year ago I dipped my proverbial toes in the self-publishing waters for the first time. I threw a novella I’d written in a mad dash onto the Kindle scene, quickly followed by one of my novels from my backlist. Since then, the learning curve has been a mountain, and I’ve been wearing those spiky-toed mountain […]
Ridiculously Addicted to this Show
I recently got sucked into a Netflix obsession. Admit it–you’ve either done it or been tempted. Streaming TV is my nemesis, and my great love. It’s been probably seven or eight years since I’d seen it, but I started watching old seasons of What Not to Wear. You know, the makeover show on the TLC […]
Shouldn’t This Get Easier By Now?
I’m excited! I have a book signing today! And it’s in my hometown, at the Preston Citizen from noon to two. Or three. Depending. But to be honest, I’m also pretty nervous. Shouldn’t this get easier by now? It’s been 10 years (well, nine years and eleven months) since I first ever did a book […]
Why I Write About Makeovers
Hi. My name is Jennifer and I’m a lazy personal groomer. Sometimes I think I need a support group because I absolutely hate doing my hair and makeup. Yeah, I make the effort every day–sometimes not until 3 in the afternoon–but it’s not something I look forward to or enjoy. I find myself feeling a […]
Official Launch of a New Romantic Comedy
My book is officially launching today! Yay! I know, I know, it’s been available for a couple of weeks so this is a tad bit anticlimactic. But I CELEBRATE NONETHELESS. Humor me. And in case you’ve forgotten, despite my frequent reminders, here’s the rub about the whole series. Book One (Home Matters by Julie Ford) […]
