By Carolyn Miller A few years ago I approached Aussie author friend Narelle Atkins about the possibility of doing a multi-author Christian contemporary romance series. We brainstormed ideas, authors we knew who wrote in a similar genre (or planned to), and settled on the concept of a fictional town set in east Washington state called …

Fiction Friday | History Can Be Fun!
By Carolyn Miller I know. “History Can be Fun!” sounds like a lame kid’s show, but the older I get the more I realise this truth. History can be fun. I still remember a high school history teacher who sat at the desk and read the textbook aloud as the class struggled to keep their …
Writer’s Inspiration | Exploring the Past
By Carolyn Miller A few weeks ago I was presented with the opportunity to take my daughter to the World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, NSW. I might’ve grumbled at the time (my other daughter was returning from India that same day and I wanted to know All The Things!) but I went, because I …

Fiction Friday | Trying Something New
By Carolyn Miller It gets a little easy sometimes to do the same old thing all the time, doesn’t it? Prepare spaghetti bolognaise once a week / fortnight? Check. (Hey, it’s simple to cook and the fam like it) Keep exercise to a daily walk-the-dog? Check. (At least I do that much!) Order the same …

I’m talking everything from real life incidents that have happened to me (I’m looking at you, mouse-incident-in-tent as featured in Muskoka Blue), or places I’ve visited (hello, Chicago Art Institute with a starring …
2022 in Review
By Carolyn Miller I thought for my last post for the year I’d share about some of the things I’ve learned from releasing 11 books in this past year and writing quite a few more. There have been some wins, some losses and rejections, and lots of learning. Ready? Let’s go! Firstly, I’m going to …
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
By Carolyn Miller Christmas. Yes, it’s now just over five weeks away. I haven’t bought many of my presents yet, so there’s a job for December. I did buy an emergency ‘turducken’ (one of those combo turkey / duck / chicken roasts) this week, just in case we need to have Christmas here again this …
Writers Life | A visit to America – in my head
By Meredith Resce For many years (24 to be exact) I have written Christian fiction based mostly in Australia. I’m Australian, so it makes sense to write what you know, or at least where you know. I had a short adventure living in the UK for a year in 2008, and during that time I …

By Carolyn Miller For Friday Fiction I am reviewing Wish Me Gone by D.J. Blackmore “Up close, the heritage listed house is nothing but a beautiful disaster, but while there are acres of orange trees to lose herself amongst, Isabella realises there’s no escaping the new school. But when intolerance towards Damaska and her family—whom …
