September 1st marked my “I’m back to being a full-time writer” phase of life. What made it fun is that I had two major conferences – American Christian Fiction Writers and Novelists, Inc., almost immediately. In fact, this week has been my first week home for the entire week since it all began! As you …
Love Makes Way Chapter 1
I’m so excited that the release date is so close for Love Makes Way! Note: I did have to move the date to October 24th. Know that it is completely written. It is just being edited and we were hitting a deadline we didn’t want to miss. Here is Chapter 1 – Meet Jerry McBride …
Monday Morning Coffee and Chat – Episode 155
Welcome to Monday Morning Coffee and Chat! Today I’m talking about the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference we attended last week!
It’s National Airborne Day!
Today is National Airborne Day! Here is an actual photo of my husband Gregg jumping out of a plane: I thought about it, and while I have MANY books with military characters (find them here: https://halleebridgeman.com/collections/books-with-military-characters), I’m pretty sure I only have one scene where a character is actually jumping out of a plane.

Happy Fri-YAY, Friend! I have a favorite rose color – it’s one that is a blend of yellow, pink, and like an orange sherbet. My grandmother had one in her rose garden (her beautifully maintained and stunning rose garden, I might add). So, last year, as we finished the repairs to the front of the …
Monday Morning Coffee and Chat 6/2/25 – And We’re Back!
Monday Morning Coffee and Chat is back! This morning we’re just catching back up.
Out with the Old!
I have re-titled and re-covered the Song of Suspense series (no Chords of Danger) and the Dixon Brothers Series! I LOVE the new covers! (The stories are exactly the same). BUT – I have tons of the old covers left. I’m selling them for $5 each (that’s a savings of $15 each!) until they run …
Refreshed, Reset, and Fri-YAY
Happy Fri-YAY! I’m fresh back from my annual spring writer’s retreat. I joined Susan May Warren, Lacy Williams, Misty Beller, Robin Patchen, and Tracy Higley for four-and-a-half wonderful days of talking, praying, crying, laughing, more laughing, plotting books, and talking strategy. We went over things that worked last year (obviously, I didn’t get to take …
