Why We Need Chemistry in Christian Romance
Hey folks! I’m Kellyn Roth, and I’m here today with H.S. Kylian to talk about chemistry in romance. (If you don’t know, Hannah writes a bunch of cool serieses in the family saga arena, and you arguably can’t have a family without chemistry. More on that later.) This is the first in a series of […]

A Very Bookish Romance Has Launched!
A Very Bookish Romance is launched! This is a 5-book novella collection which features stories centered around the holiday of Valentine’s Day and a classic novel (inspired by more than strict retellings, though they sort of count as both). My story is a WWII home front romance featuring a single mother and a limping farmer. […]
Write the Soft Epilogue; Give Them Babies | why romance novels need epilogues
Hey folks! I’m popping on today to write a post that I hope you will take seriously … but no, it is not meant to be taken seriously. After all, at the end of the day, you may write what you want … But allow me to ramble about a personal-taste-thing as if it’s a […]
Welcome to 2024 (and how 2023 went)
Welcome to 2024, a year that I like the sound of much more than 2023 (I hate odd numbers)! As 2023 came to a close, I realized that it had only been a month long, and that disturbed me. I should have had more than a month to do all the things I had to […]
Novelists in November ~ a complete breakdown of my plans for the anthology
As some of you may know, Wild Blue Wonder Press is launching a new anthology (like Springtime in Surrey) next November, and our submissions are open now! Though that information has been shared in other areas, I decided I’d better make use of my blog, too, so here are the facts! From the Wild Blue […]
A New Sort of Christmas
Disclaimers & Introduction I went back and forth on the content of this post so many times because it’s kind of a downer, but also, I’ve kind of decided that there’s no purpose whatsoever in not discussing the fact that Matthew and I are struggling with infertility (which by the way, serves as your content […]
Shifting the Focus: God-Honoring Fiction vs. Clean Fiction
Heyyyyy everybody! I’m back with the CONTROVERSY. *puts on sunglasses and walks slowly away from an explosion as the beat drops* Not so very long ago, I wrote a short version of this post and shared it to Instagram. It resonated with a lot of people and doubled my determination to write THIS post, so […]
NaNoWriMo 2023, the Christmas Season, and Kell’s Life
I haven’t done a life update on this blog in forever, and granted, I will probably recycle some information from my email list (which you should subscribe to now!), but now feels like the time. So let’s not hesitate. Let’s get into it! NaNoWriMo 2023 NaNoWriMo 2023 … did not go as planned. But I […]
The Apostle Paul & Speaking to Your Audience as a Christian Writer
That title may have bemused you, and honestly, I’m not sure I have the writing talent to communicate these ideas clearly, so if you don’t understand this, blame me. I can only say I did my best. The other day, I was reading 1 Corinthians 9, and I found myself confused. Not an unusual thing […]
