Why? Because I’m stepping into a bold, beautiful new chapter. What once started as a cherished hobby is transforming into something extraordinary: a career that fills my heart with joy and purpose.

It feels like standing at the starting line of a race, heart pounding, ready to burst forward at breakneck speed. But here’s the twist—this isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon. A journey. And I’m savoring every step.

I’ve been busy behind the scenes, shifting strategies, making plans, and positioning every piece of this puzzle just right. My focus isn’t on reaching a finish line but embracing a new mindset—one that’s full of possibility, passion, and progress. There will be challenges, no doubt, but the horizon stretches wide, with no end in sight.

I’ll never stop writing. There is nothing better and it feeds my heart and soul. Writing stories, sharing them with you, and connecting through the magic of words? It’s the kind of life I’ve never imagined could happen – and can’t picture stopping ever.

This. Is. The. Life! ♥

To you, my incredible community of readers: thank you. Thank you for believing in my stories and for being the fuel that keeps my creative fire burning bright. Your love for these tales inspires me to reach higher, dream bigger, and keep pouring my heart onto every page. I am so THANKFUL for each and every one of you – and the support you have given me along the way. It’s so strange to think 2024 is winding down and 2025 is around the corner.

Here’s to the journey ahead—one filled with stories, connections, and a shared love of reading. Together, we’re building something extraordinary, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have you by my side. Let’s finish this year strong and make 2025 unforgettable. 💫

XOXO,

Ginny

So it begins… https://ginnysterling.com/2024/11/22/so-it-begins/ https://ginnysterling.com/2024/11/22/so-it-begins/#respond Fri, 22 Nov 2024 14:17:16 +0000 https://ginnysterling.com/?p=2430 Weirdest thing as a writer, you plot your life/work/releases so very far in advance and I am already looking at June of 2025 – which seems so freakin’ odd to me. It’s November, but in my brain, we are moving forward into new horizons. New stickers, new banners, new badges, etc… because of a new series (that I’m not ready to discuss yet, just dropping a teaser because you know – TEASERS).

I’ve been really thrilled with your responses to Pucks and Promises – and enjoying the world of hockey romance so much more than I ever imagined. I hope you have a chance to get Coach Côte’s book that released today called ‘Baby, It’s Cold Offside’. It’s a sweet ‘what if’ story with a happily-ever-after for the girl who never imagined dreams could come true… and what a dream it was!

I’m chipping away at a few things, clearing my schedule, and cannot wait to start meeting fans IN PERSON next year. Isn’t that going to be fun? Do you have a book convention that you plan on going to? Let me know!

Lessons were learned… https://ginnysterling.com/2024/06/04/lessons-were-learned/ https://ginnysterling.com/2024/06/04/lessons-were-learned/#respond Tue, 04 Jun 2024 16:22:47 +0000 https://ginnysterling.com/?p=2088 (That’s the theory, at least)

Today – I found that my emails I’ve been sending are sometimes going directly to the SPAM folder, which is noooo bueno because I pay for this service to communicate with you what events are coming, new releases, surprise sales, etc.

Another discover today is that certain words should never be in a sentence together… such as:

Resistance bands, HIIT, beginner level, and *ME*

example: Ginny was dumb enough to do the beginner level HIIT home workout on her phone with a resistance band and cannot feel her butt, teeth, hair, or fingernails anymore.

I’m kidding, of course, (sorta) and found out just how out of shape I am, having been brought low by a rubber band looking thing. I downloaded an app called ‘WorkOut Women’ on my phone to do brief, strength training exercises at home – which works for me. I need to take breaks from writing and a ten minute circuit is something I can do between chapters easy-peasy… but OOOH man! Is it ever HUMBLING.

Needless to say, this is going in a book. 🫣]]>

I’m playing ‘Genie’ for just a moment because I hold the puppet strings on my book and was able to tweak this one. I hope you love the book and can’t wait for everyone to see their relationship unfold.

Soooo June 7th is going to be FLYBOYS FRIDAY! Wooo hoooo!

XOXO,

A (limited time) Giveaway and a few updates… https://ginnysterling.com/2023/06/07/a-limited-time-giveaway-and-a-few-updates/ https://ginnysterling.com/2023/06/07/a-limited-time-giveaway-and-a-few-updates/#respond Wed, 07 Jun 2023 14:54:54 +0000 https://ginnysterling.com/?p=1171 Hello!

I had so much fun with last months giveaway – that I decided to do another. I’m giving away three Flyboys coffee mugs, so be sure to click the button below.

I also have two free books for you (limited time)

Remember Us – Captain Logan’s Novella

Remember Our Vows – re-live those sweet weddings!

Well, Courageous Beginnings isn’t on Audible yet – they are still processing it… and it should be soon. *fingers crossed*

I am also desperately waiting on my edits for Courageous Feelings (which should be today or tomorrow) and the moment I get them? I’m going to wrap up Justin’s book, move the preorder up, and release it.

Are you on the Flirt’s Battalion Facebook Group? Did you see the new cover? We are going to get to meet the other team of fire fighters that had to make the calendars… hahahahaha!! That should be a fun and exciting twist.

Ohhhh… and I got my Yonder shirt in the mail! (YAYYYY!) I saw some of the other pics of you in your shirts and nearly slapped myself for not buying one for myself. I thought, ‘Naaahh Ginny, you don’t need another t-shirt’… 

SHUT UP, BRAIN –  OH YES, I DO!

They are gorgeous and I got the blue.

I’ll post a pic online once I get a chance in the Flyboys Facebook group. If you order one – share a picture – I seriously LOVE seeing you all in them (and tag me so I can see it!). I went ahead and put that link below too – or you can click here.

XOXO,

Ginny

2023… https://ginnysterling.com/2023/01/03/2023-2/ https://ginnysterling.com/2023/01/03/2023-2/#respond Wed, 04 Jan 2023 02:42:22 +0000 https://ginnysterling.com/?p=1167 As the year wrap’s up, I have been thinking a lot about next year and how to handle things. This year has had its ups and downs for certain – some personal and some professional.

I quit my job – let’s just say that it will be book fodder for sure (grrr!) but I will enjoy writing the book and it will certainly be therapeutic for me.

This has been an incredible year for my writing – and I’m sure you are probably thinking, ‘my goodness she’s releasing a lot of books!’… and I am, because I LOVE these characters.

I’ve blessed to have the chance to meet so many people when I went to Space Coast Book Lovers Convention – and I have to admit that I would be going in 2023… EXCEPT… something came up.

I will be working a table at a convention for an author friend in Texas next year during the same time frame.

Am I being vague? OF COURSE!

I will not be signing (but I would love pics and to see people!) Shhh! I don’t want to break any rules, but I’m truly excited to see these friends and I’ve never been to this convention before (it’s a BIG one). As we get closer, more details will be shared… but remember – I will technically be a guest. 😊

2023 will be bringing work in five book series – and as you probably have learned if you’ve followed me for a while? I rarely stick to my release dates. I usually end up moving them upwards and announce it here in my NL.

The five book series are:

  • Billionaire Love Games – a sweet and clean billionaire series with a twist!
  • Flyboys – omigosh I’m so ready to tackle Houdini’s story and share his secret!
  • Healing Hearts – C’mon Perry, Keyes, Talbot, Pena…
  • Flirt’s Battalion – SQUEEEEEE! I just finished the prequel and you will love the surprise in the book. I’ll give you a hint: blue eyes.
  • Disaster City Search and Rescue – stay tuned! WaooooHooooooo!  (That’s my Alpo scream for all you Flyboys fans)

I’m currently filling out my planner, I’ve prepped my editor (LOL) for a flurry of books, and letting you all know now… I’ve got a TON of books planned for 2023.

Two announcements – and you might not have realized it, but I opened my book groups so you can share your thoughts.

I’ve been very careful because there’s been a lot of disturbing stuff in some other groups, but if you see something? PM me and I’ll get it taken down immediately.

I would really love to see more interaction so I can get to know you all a little better now that I’m not tied to a desk for sixty hours a week.

Here are the groups I run on Facebook – and if you didn’t know, SURPRISE!

Share memes, books you’ve read recently, things you liked, characters you love, pictures you’ve seen that remind you of a character in a book, etc.

Flyboys Facebook Group

Healing Hearts Facebook Group

Sweet and Wholesome Romance books

Flirt’s Battalion Romance Group (yup!)

Heroes and Hunks Romance Group

(Example – I had a dear friend that traveled through Tyler Texas recently and texted me. I thought that was so cool and wanted to shout, ‘find a soldier!’ LOL – I’m kidding! Don’t! Please don’t, it’s not one of our ‘boys’ and you might get in serious trouble) 

But please, share your feedback, your thoughts, requests, pics of coffee mugs because I love & collect them.

I just want to hear from YOU!

Whew! Okay, yes this was long with a ton of information, but my mind has been rolling and before I dive into another book? I wanted to remember all the changes I’ve been through – and what blessing I have to look forward to!

XOXO – and stay safe tomorrow on New Year’s Eve!

Ginny

P.S. – I am 2/3rd of the way finished with Handsy’s book and it will be released in January. I do not have a date yet but will get you an ETA as soon as I speak with my editor again.

Recapping July… and hello August! https://ginnysterling.com/2022/08/02/recapping-july-and-hello-august/ https://ginnysterling.com/2022/08/02/recapping-july-and-hello-august/#respond Tue, 02 Aug 2022 23:35:59 +0000 http://ginnysterling.com/?p=1163 July is over… and I hope everyone loved the baby short stories! Should we do something like that again? I’d love to know your thoughts.

What did you think about Valkyrie? Isn’t he dreamy?

My editor is currently going through Forever Forgiven (Firefly’s story) and as soon as I have it back, I will be moving the preorder date up for everyone. I plan on releasing the book this month – and included an unedited glimpse at the story.

Remember Memories is actively on my laptop right now and in process. I am loving Clark’s story!

Flyboys has been front-and-center on my radar as the ‘team’ is growing. Reaper’s story is in process. Handsy and Hot Cakes just got their books up on preorder… and I am currently looking for the perfect person to portray Caboose.

The Fall Back into Love box set will have Toby’s story (from Flyboys) but once the box set is no longer available, I will be releasing it as part of the series. So, as soon as I have a date for you? I’ll include the announcement.

On personal news… I fell off the carb wagon HARD.

Oh my gosh, I had no idea how much I was stress eating at my job, nor how much fast food, until I went to put on my clothes and nothing fit right. Stress weight gain is legit. So, back to focusing on me.

Any keto or low carb recipes, please feel free to share!

XOXO,

Ginny

… The Birthday Month Continues! https://ginnysterling.com/2022/07/05/the-birthday-month-continues/ https://ginnysterling.com/2022/07/05/the-birthday-month-continues/#respond Tue, 05 Jul 2022 16:13:45 +0000 http://ginnysterling.com/?p=1158 … The Birthday Month Celebration Continues!

If you missed last week’s newsletter or my posting on Facebook, we are going to have FUN, FUN, FUN the entire month! There will be a Baby Book every Saturday this month – along with two new books in both my series.

Remember Forgiveness in Healing Hearts and Forever Fortunate in Flyboys.

If you grabbed Remember Love while it was on sale, then you can grab Remember Family that gives you a glimpse into the Wilkes Family future.

I hope you all had a beautiful Independence Day! I went over to my in-laws for grilling and fireworks. We watched them go off above a small lake behind their house… and the weather was perfect.

The Mister and I might be going up to the NY state for an impromptu getaway to visit my son, so I’ll be sharing a few family pics in the next week or two.

#ProjectMushiness (Remember Wishes) is going along swimmingly.

It’s an ‘extra’ (like I don’t have enough going on…LOL) book that I am going to release later this year and squeezing it in. Omgosh, I have smiled and cried staring at my laptop. Y’all – it’s so.much.epic.love… just when you think you know what is coming next? Boom!

Abrupt right turn…

I’m in the process of trying something, so as soon as I am ready to share? You’ll be the first to know… muahahahaha secrets and projects! Let’s just say that this could be really fun and I should be getting something within the next week or two to share with you all.

XOXO,

Ginny ]]> https://ginnysterling.com/2022/07/05/the-birthday-month-continues/feed/ 0 1158 Mmm… coffee and books https://ginnysterling.com/2022/06/07/mmm-coffee-and-books/ https://ginnysterling.com/2022/06/07/mmm-coffee-and-books/#respond Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:58:05 +0000 http://ginnysterling.com/?p=1110 It’s June – which means my first book convention in two years is nearly upon us all! I cannot wait to go – and on that note?

I have been thinking about travel… and how I incorporate it in my books. That is one thing about writing/reading – I can be anywhere in the world whenever I want to be.

In Forever Faithful, I had Jackson sweep Harley away to New Orleans for a romantic rendezvous of chicory coffee and beignets. If you’ve never been to New Orleans – it’s an experience. You can smell the ocean, feel the humidity (omigosh my hair was a mess), and breathe the scents of the Quarter.

The coffee, the shops, the pralines… it’s alive with wonder and an experience I will never forget. We rode segways through the streets, seeing all the sights… well, I could go on for hours – but you get the drift. It’s lovely in an Old World fashion.

Chicory coffee has an original taste of it’s own – and writing that scene let me experience that moment again with my husband, sitting at the picnic tables along the river, breathing the powdered sugar, and smiling at the one you adore…

*sigh*

So – Imagine my surprise when he bought me chicory coffee K Cups for my Keurig. The photo below is what the box looked like, me minus the coffee (it was brewing) and a link to the book where you can read about their first date at the famous Cafe Du Monde.

(Yes, it’s an affiliate link – full disclosure)

Also – I included a link to the books you’ll see at Space Coast Book Lovers Convention. This will be my first time there and I cannot wait to get to Florida! Are there book conventions near you? Where would you like to meet at? I’m always looking and reached out to a few places in 2023…

Coming in June:

 The Accidental Girlfriend Rescue is coming out this Friday and I have one question for you: how long could you tread water? 

This was a tense book with a lot of twists, turns, and unexpected realities – and thoughtfulness. It made me seriously think – hard. How would I handle being cornered by the mob? What would I do differently?

Next, we get Armadillo’s story on June 24th in Forever Famous... grab your hats, hang on to your seats, because this guy will melt hearts, ladies!

My editor has messaged me over and over again how Armadillo is ‘her guy’ and how she ‘loves a man like that’ – I have to admit that I tend to agree. He’s unassuming, yet strong… sweet, yet giving…

He is just W.O.W.

XOXO,
