Have a brilliant story idea and spend the next day/week/month madly scribbling down/plotting out what is easily going to be the next big bestseller. No, not just bestseller. This is going to be the book that changes the world. This is going to be EPIC. Open a new document on your computer. Stare at blank… Continue reading How to Write the Perfect Novel in 49 Easy Steps
I like to joke that there’s a reason I’m an author and not a speaker. Writing fills me with joy and comes easily. Speaking—whether to one person or (gulp) a crowd—has me struggling to breathe. I can mangle a spoken sentence with the best of them, think phones are pretty much the most terrifying invention… Continue reading Marketing for Introverts
The hardest part of Bring Her Home to write wasn’t the cutting but what led to it. Not because I couldn’t picture it but because I could.While I don’t have physical scars like Eva, her fight is mine. The daily battle to keep going, keep fighting, keep choosing the truth when it’s so much easier… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – Don’t Give Up
Bring Her Home is inspired by Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son (found in Luke 15:11-32) and while it’s mostly Evangeline’s story (ie, ‘the prodigal’), it’s also very much the story of a father’s grace and incredible love. Growing up in a Christian family where my second home was our church, I’ve heard the Prodigal… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – Grace and the Prodigal
Like Eva in Bring Her Home, I want people to think I have it all together. That I’m strong, and confident, and unshakeable every hour of every day, no matter what life throws at me. Part of that comes from fear that they’d walk away if they knew the truth, part comes from pride and… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – The Stained-Glass Window
In Bring Her Home, both Eva and Darrek have a moment where they have to make the choice whether or not to surrender. I won't tell you whether they do or not, because, for both of them, that moment is a huge part of their story, but writing it made me think a lot about… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – That Surrender Moment
There are butterflies on the cover of Bring Her Home, butterflies on each of the chapter headings, and butterflies on the scene dividers. In short, they're hard to miss. There's a good reason for that. Butterflies are my symbol of hope. When I was a teen, my bedroom wall was full of notes and Bible… Continue reading Crown of Promise Devotions – Butterflies and Hope
In my third Behind the Book Interview, I have the absolute pleasure of introducing you all to Roseanna White, the designer of the absolutely STUNNING cover of Bring Her Home (and all three of my other books too!). I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but as someone who does… Continue reading Behind the Book Interviews: Roseanna White – Cover Designer
Ready for the second instalment of my Behind the Book interviews? (Here's the first, if you missed it. Everyone say 'hi' to my editor, Janelle!) In this second instalment, I'm interviewing ... myself! Ha! Well, actually, the questions have come from a number of readers at different times, so maybe it's you interviewing me? Either… Continue reading Behind the Book Interviews: Hannah Currie – Author
As you can probably imagine, writing books is a pretty solitary task. The publishing of books, however, definitely isn't. There are so many people behind the scenes turning the words I write into the books you hold, from editors to proofreaders to cover designers and the publishers themselves (among others!). If you've read the Acknowledgements… Continue reading Behind the Book Interviews: Janelle Leonard – Managing Editor
