Coffee Chat with Author Regina Jennings
In Caught in the Middle, the heroine is hiding because of the domestic abuse she suffered earlier in her life. This is a very important issue…Why did you decide to make this part of her story?
Anne’s husband Jay Tillerton was the villain in the first Ladies of Caldwell County book, Sixty Acres and a Bride. Because of the events in that book, I knew Anne’s story would take us through some dark places—places that would be familiar to some readers. It was important to demonstrate that although Anne’s husband was dead, her fear was not. Violence changes people, but so does Christ. That was the ultimate message of the story.
Fatal Exchange: pulsing romantic suspense

In this book the heroine has forgotten how to live her own life; instead, she is wrapped up in her brother’s life as a NHL hockey player. She has dreams, but she’s …
Grateful for Grace
I’ve had one of those weeks where there is too much to do and not enough time. I’ve asked God to make the sun stand still…and He has. First by sending my sister-in-law to help a couple afternoons so I could pull away and edit. He’s also just really focused me on what is important. It doesn’t mean life isn’t …
