In this hour-long, delightful and insightful conversation, legendary author Francine Rivers gives rom-com authors Jessica Kate (Love and Other Mistakes, A Girl's Guide to the Outback) and Bethany Turner (The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck, Hadley Beckett's Next Dish) all the inside scoop on the long-awaited Redeeming Love film adaptation, why she decided she needed to write the screenplay herself, just what it is that makes the hero Michael Hosea so irresistible (and why he was such a difficult role to cast), what she's working on now, and so much more!

Francine Rivers. For an hour. Talking about everything you've ever wanted to hear.

The podcast version is available on the StoryNerds podcast at www.storynerds.podbean.com, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!

Hadley Beckett's Next Dish Zoom Party

Get ready for a heaping helping of humor, romance, and second chances

Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show, To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel's other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.

When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum and is sent packing, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public's good graces is to work alongside Hadley. As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love.

In the meantime, hide the knives.

Okay, you guys. Here it is! I'm so excited to fina

Okay, you guys. Here it is! I'm so excited to finally introduce you to PLOT TWIST! I wrote the first draft of this story in 2012 and then it sat in the metaphorical drawer while Sarah, Cadie, and Hadley each took their turn up at bat. But now it's Olivia Ross's turn, and as you can tell from the blurb...
Waiting for her perfect moment is what she does best.
🗓❤️🎬❤️☕️❤️✈️
February 4, 2003, is just another day for Olivia Ross—a greeting card writer whose passion project is a screenplay of her own. After she and a handsome, struggling actor have a near-magic encounter in a coffee shop, they make a spontaneous pact: in ten years, after they’ve found the success they’re just sure they’re going to achieve, they’ll return to the coffeehouse to partner up and make a film together. The only problem? Olivia neglected to get the stranger’s name. But she doesn’t forget the date.

For the next ten years, every February 4, Olivia has an exceptional day, full of coincidences and ironies. As men come and go and return to her life, and as she continues to write her screenplay, she still wonders about the guy from the coffee shop—the nameless actor she’s almost certain was Hamish MacDougal, now a famous member of the Hollywood elite.

But a lot can happen in ten years, and while waiting for the curtain to rise on her fate, the true story of Olivia’s life is being written—and if she’s not careful, she’ll completely miss the epic romance playing out right before her eyes.

Each Friday, we take a journey through my lifetime

Each Friday, we take a journey through my lifetime of celebrity crushes. And, yeah...I have celebrity crushes for DAYS. But only one of my crushes is referred to by my friends, children, and even my husband as my boyfriend.

Aaron Rodgers.

#12. Packers quarterback. MVP. State Farm Insurance spokesman. Celebrity Jeopardy champion. And the reason I got into football. (Also very much a "love him or hate him" personality. I know. I understand. We can still be friends.)

How about you? Have you ever had a sports crush?

Many thanks to @lonestarlit for awarding WOOING CADIE MCCAFFREY with the "Best Humor" designation in the 2019 Bloggers' Choice Awards! I'm truly grateful to all the readers and reviewers. And it means more than I can say to know that through Cadie and Will's story, we were able to have some laughs together. Let's do it again real soon. 💗 #WooCaM #WooingCadieMcCaffrey #romcom

Vogt, is on sale for only $1.99. 😱 Don’t miss book 3 in her “Little Women gone wrong” Thatcher Sisters Series. Publishers Weekly called The Best We've Been an “excellent finale” to the series.

This Monday, November 9th, some of my reader frien

This Monday, November 9th, some of my reader friends and I are going to get together to discuss Hadley Beckett's Next Dish, and you're all invited to eavesdrop! Okay, I actually hope you'll do more than eavesdrop. I hope you'll chime in with questions and thoughts of your own!

The friends chatting with me will be members of my reader group (The Book Club Closest to My House, which I cordially invite you to join!), and they'll all have read the book. In other words, this will NOT be a spoiler-free environment. But if you haven't read #HadBeck yet, you still have the weekend to get it done! 😉

There will be giveaways, games, and all sorts of fun...not to mention a whole lot of obsessing over Chef Max Cavanagh. Brace yourself and join us there!
