The Romance Studio announced the nominees for the 2010 Cupid and Psyche Awards (CAPA), and I am thrilled to discover that White Rose Publishing authors have made a stunning statement. (And can I be a little boastful and note that this isn't the first year :)) Congrats to Tanya Hanson for her nomination...

The Christmas Card

Yesterday I went to my mailbox and found a huge stack of mail. This happens nearly every day, and most of the stack is junk mail. My mother, who passed away last December, still receives catalogues, address stickers, solicitations from various animal charities, knitting and crocheting books, and so...

This is Christmas

Well, we're only a week into Advent, and hope everyone is finding time to celebrate the season outside of all the retail hubbub that is inherent these days. I was trying to think of something I could give to White Rose authors and staff that would express my gratitude for them and my love of this holiday,...

Perseverance

I know this is a publishing blog, but sometimes I feel the need to veer away from a "writing" message. Last night as I was praying I came to this Scripture that I want to share. Colossians 1:9-13 ...we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through...

Self-publishing pitfalls

Today I want to talk a little bit about self-publishing. Unlike some, I think self-publishing is a viable option for certain authors, for certain manuscripts. However, I do think self-publishing fiction is most risky. Non-fiction topics generally fit into a niche that self-published authors can utilize...

Yesterday, I spotted a yellow daisy, a perfect bloom among a bush of dying flowers. With the early frosts, our flower beds are full of brown and wilted blooms. This one tiny daisy defied the elements...

Value in the Experience

I was going to write a blog today about speech tags and action beats, but someone brought this to my attention, and I think it's much more important to share. I could write about how to take this and use it in your writing--and your life, but I'm not going to elaborate. It speaks for itself. God b...

Picture of a Hero

One of my favourite scriptures is in Hebrews, Chapter 12: Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners in order that you might not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.When I tell people how much I love this passage,...

Losing Focus...

As a person who is easily distracted, I thought it might be of some use to discuss how writers can lose focus in a manuscript. The theme that White Rose & Harbourlight Books share is Christianity. It is a necessary part of every book we publish. Harbourlight has a variety of other themes, from...

As I sat at my desk, staring at a blank page, I couldn’t think of one single thing to base my article on for my chapter newsletter. Finally, I gave up and headed upstairs to bed. Along the way, I spied...

Come, Follow Me...

This week has been a week of telecoms, confabs, organizing files and updates...all fun stuff! It's a lot of busy-work that makes one feel as though nothing is getting accomplished. That's because the fruits of the labour have yet to be seen. In the midst of meetings and compiling information, file conversions,...

Why Do We Worry?

September 10th? Already? Seems like only yesterday that I walked out of my day job for the very last time on December 31, 2009. At that time, I had some fears about how we'd have to change our lifestyles, and whether or not I'd have to take a part-time job.We all have fears from time to time....

Writing evolution

Mobile phones have gone from "bricks," to celluars so small you almost had to move them back and forth between ear and mouth just to have the speaker and microphone in the proper place at the appropriate moment, back to something larger that can accommodate easy texting....
