by Staci Stallings You may think that being a romance author is all about reclining on a couch, eating grapes as you spin stories of wonder, love, and romance. I would love to tell you that is the truth, but for me at least, it is not. Instead, it is dragging myself out […]

by Staci Stallings Sometimes living in my imagination is difficult. Maybe that’s because I have what people call a “vivid imagination.” Do you know what that means, to have a vivid imagination? For me, it means that what I “experience” in my head is often as real or more real to me than […]

by Staci Stallings Author’s Note: There are some scenes that just stay with you forever. This is one of my favorites. Enjoy… It seemed the height of insanity to be out here on a vacant field celebrating when he hadn’t heard from her in 48 hours. Why did everyone else seem to think […]

by: Staci Stallings One of the dangers of writing outside the box, not following the formula, and going where God leads is that you get into situations that make you really question the wisdom of doing any of that. You see, as an indie writer, I love the freedom of being able to […]

by Staci Stallings By far the biggest question I get from my writer friends is: “When do you find the time?” While right now there are a lot of novellas being released which usually run around 20,000 to 40,000 words, my books tend to be…. uhm, longer, to say the least. The one I’m working on […]

by Staci Stallings We’ve all heard it said that God works in mysterious ways. I think some of His ways are more mysterious than others. Take, for example, the strange case of the Bomb Cyclone and its effect on this author’s life. Our story starts on March 8, the first day of Spring […]

by Staci Stallings Sometimes timing becomes important. This is one of those times. Right now, as you read this Easter Sunday has passed, and we have entered fully into the Easter Season.
