I knew that C.S. Lewis and I had more in common than our Christianity when he said, "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." Welcome to a celebration of faith, tea, and the written word. I'm always engaged in a book, and whether it's one I'm reading or one of the inspirational romances I write, there's always a cup of tea close by. Join me in a cup as we chat about faith, our favorite books and the exciting places our reading and writing adventures take us.

Hero vs. Hero: Drew and Beck



Hi, friends!

Today I thought I'd share a little something from my most recent newslettter. I only send out letters when I have a new release, and with each newsletter, someone wins a book! In fact, sometimes THREE people win books!

From my most recent issue:



Hero Quiz: Drew or Beck?


Two historical romance releases this summer means two heroes! Allow me to introduce Drew Cooper from June's A Clean Slate (Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands Collection) and Beck Emerson from July's The Right Pitch (Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection).

Drew and Beck have a lot in common: they both served in the Civil War; they’re both good with pets and kids; they’re both entrepreneurs who serve their communities; and they both love God.

But who will you choose?

If you have more A’s…

Meet Drew Cooper! He’s a Tennessee native who responds to the advertisement the ladies of Turtle Springs, Kansas, puts out looking for husbands, but he isn’t necessarily looking for a wife—just a fresh start in Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands. One of his secret dreams? Reading Shakespeare. But he’s got a new dream now that he’s met Birdy Green, the schoolteacher who definitely isn’t looking for a husband. Will she change her mind about marrying?

If you have more B’s…

Meet Beck Emerson! He’s from Philadelphia, PA, and the owner of a bustling rail 
works in town in Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection. He’s also the older brother of a sister who needs friendship and distraction, and what could help her better than to join a ladies’ baseball team? He’s mad for the sport, but hasn’t been able to play since he was injured in the Civil War ten years ago. Yet somehow, the team’s pretty pitcher talks him into being team coach. Stepping up to the plate isn’t easy after years of heartache, but this summer he could strike out…or hit the home run of a lifetime.
