Hello, Hollywood! by Janice Thompson


When it comes to love, one thing's for sure--it doesn't follow a script!

Athena Pappas is the head writer on Stars Collide, one of the most popular sitcoms in television history. But when Vegas comedian Stephen Cosse is brought in to beef up the show's suddenly sagging ratings, she starts to worry about her job. Sparks fly as the competition--and attraction--between the two writers heats up. Athena has never had a problem writing the romances of her characters. So why is her own love life so hard to script?

With humor and a Hollywood-insider viewpoint, Hello, Hollywood! delivers lots of laughs as Athena and Stephen discover that not being in control of the plot of their lives might just be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Here is my review of this entertaining read:

First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Janice Thompson and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Hello, Hollywood!" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

Janice Thomson’s “Hello, Hollywood” is book #2 in her charming Backstage Pass series chronicling the lives of those involved in making a hit sitcom. This novel showcases the writers of Stars Collide, the hit show that has dropped a bit in its ratings. When the producers bring on another writer, the rest of the staff feels that this may be how one of them is going to be replaced.

Athena Pappas, head writer on the television sitcom is thinking she might be out of a job when former Las Vegas standup comedian, Stephen Cosse, is hired as a writer on the show. But when this Adonis-like man proves to be not only handsome but also talented and have other things in common with Athena, it appears that she won’t be losing her job, but her heart.

This incredibly entertaining novel is a charming romantic comedy from the gifted author of the “Weddings by Bella” series.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...
