Because Fiction Podcast

How I Fell in Love With This Haunting Title

A chat with Sarah Sundin is always fun, so when I learned we'd be discussing her upcoming release, The Sound of Light, last October, I was excited. Well... we chatted, and it's finally time to share that interview. Listen in to what the title means, where Sarah came up with it, and the delightful Continue Reading

Why Doing the Right Thing at the Wrong Time Is No Picnic!

Last fall, I talked with several authors about their novella collection (Episode 177) and learned about a new series they'd planned for 2023. Well, of course, I wanted to talk with them about it, and last week I "sat down" (I stand while recording, but you get my drift) with Heather Greer to talk Continue Reading

Laura Frantz

What Happens When You Throw an English Beauty into the Jacobite Rebellion?

If you haven't seen the stunning cover of The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz yet, I feel like I should ask if you've been feeling okay. It's been everywhere, and I've been drooling. So when I saw that I was going to get to chat with Laura about this book, let's just say I was a wee bit Continue Reading

nede rising

Which Two Books Are The Most Important That I Read Last Year?

Sometimes people write books that are as important as they are good. The Nede Rising series by Jess Corban fits that description perfectly. Corban boldly takes a look at the logical conclusion of our current anti-male sentiment if allowed to continue unchecked, and results both in a riveting story Continue Reading

split-time novel

Did You Know Opposites Attract—Even When They’re Great Books?

Split-time novels are some of my favorites, and this year I discovered (and interviewed the authors of) two different World War II books with DNA connections. On the surface, you'd assume they'd be too alike to be interesting, but once you start reading, the similarities compound AND diverge at the Continue Reading

Are You Ready for Exciting Historical Adventures?

Though I'd never heard of Karl May before speaking with Robert Stermscheg. Once we chatted, I knew I had to have the first book in one of May's series, The Prussian Lieutenant. My chat with Robert covered everything from his childhood in Europe, to his father's memoirs (fascinating!), and his love Continue Reading

Everything Is Just Beginning Erin Bartels

Isn’t There Just Something Inspiring and Encouraging about Music?

Erin Bartels has written some of my favorite books (including one I keep dragging out as long as possible because I don't want it to end), and her upcoming release, Everything Is Just Beginning, promises to be right up there with her other books. Listen in as we talk about music, our dads, my weird Continue Reading

Shelley Shepard Gray

Are You Ready for a Delightful New Amish Series?

At first, I thought Shelley Shepard Gray was a new-to-me author, but I believe I've read at least one of The Heart of a Hero series books (not to mention a couple of others look really familiar). Her new Season in Pinecraft (an Amish snowbird community) series features Amish wallflowers who just Continue Reading

Becca Kinzer Dear Henry, Love Edith

What Better Way to Start the New Year Than a Great Rom-Com?

So... ever wondered if I'm really as weird as I seem? Here's proof for ya! While normal people were gearing up for a lovely holiday with their families, I rushed AWAY from mine to my hotel room in Irvine, California to have a chat with debut romantic comedy author, Becca Kinzer about her book, Dear Continue Reading

what I would tell you liz tolsma

What if You Had a Heartbreaking History You Didn’t Even Know about?

When Liz Tolsma told me about her trip to Greece and all that it entailed, I watched eagerly for information. We saw the places she went, the things she ate--everything on Facebook. She's a great traveler who shares everything, and now the research has paid off. Though the paperback doesn't release Continue Reading

The Space Between Words

How a Reading Challenge Helped Me Discover a Great Book

Chantel of Chantel Reads All Day and Hey Reader runs an annual "Read Your Bookshelf Challenge." Simply put, she challenges you to read the unread (lonely, miserable, aching to come alive in your brain) books on your bookshelf.  To do so, she gives you twelve prompts, one for each month, and Continue Reading

What’s Better Than a Great Christmas Romance Novella? So Much!

For the last couple of months, I can't blink without seeing the name Juliette Duncan, so when I saw her as next on my list for interviews, I was excited! And boy was chatting with her a delight. Juliette has TWO books releasing back to back almost, but the first one, Christmas at Goddard Downs Continue Reading

Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Bakery, Mandy's Cafe, the Uffda Shop, and Pepie the Lake Monster (who knew?)

Oh, and home to Twice Sold Tales, a charming bookstore in a charming town--but not for long.  Unless Milton arrives with his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch!), this local gem of a store may soon be out of print--so to speak.

Some might blame owner Harper Brevig. Let's face it. Her "bookside manner" isn't much to write home about (although I did write a book about it...). But no, she's making enough money, and she's not spending too much money (much to her disgust), so where's it going?

Find out in Twice Sold Tales which is on tour with Celebrate Lit! Check out the blogs and enter to win a cool prize package with a book, one of "Pepie's babies," and other fun bookish goodies!

Reposted from @margueritemgray Come take a visit t Reposted from @margueritemgray Come take a visit to our newest set of islands – The Suamalie Islands! These islands are very different from the Independence Islands because they are touristy. Another way this series is different is we have added more authors. You will see some familiar Independence Islands authors but will also see some brand-new ones. Just like with our Independence Islands, each author will follow a type of business that goes across all the different islands.

There is a Giveaway of a $50 Amazon card to celebrate this new series. Enter January 28-February 5. https://promosimple.com/ps/245c3/suamalie-giveaway

Find out more about each book and author in the series by going to the publisher’s page: http://www.celebratelitpublishing.com/suamaliegiveaway/
