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.

The Blizzard Bride!


I *just* submitted my final-round edits of The Blizzard Bride to my editor, and now I'm waiting for the galleys (the final stage before publication). It's so exciting to be a part of Barbour's Daughters of the Mayflower Series!

The Blizzard Bride is book #11 in the series. Here's the blurb:

Setting: Nebraska, 1888
Notable Events: Children’s Blizzard​
​​
A Blizzard Changes Everything

Abigail Bracey arrives in Nebraska in January 1888 to teach school…and to execute a task for the government: to identify a student as the hidden son of a murderous counterfeiter—the man who killed her father.

Agent Dashiell Lassiter doesn’t want his childhood sweetheart Abby on this dangerous job, especially when he learns the counterfeiter is now searching for his son, too, and he’ll destroy anyone in his way. Now Dash must follow Abby to Nebraska to protect her…if she’ll let him within two feet of her. She’s still angry he didn’t fight to marry her six years ago, and he never told her the real reason he left her.

All Dash wants is to protect Abby, but when a horrifying blizzard sweeps over them, can Abby and Dash set aside the pain from their pasts and work together to catch a counterfeiter and protect his son—if they survive the storm?

Available February 2020

A Marriage Mishap Creates an Awkward Love Triangle in this Silver Mining Town
 
Looking forward to a quiet life and a full stomach, mail-order bride Rebecca Rice is pleased to marry her shopkeeper intended, Mr. Fordham, until the justice of the peace calls him Thaddeus, not Theodore—proceeded by the title Deputy.

Is it possible to marry the wrong man?

When the newlyweds realize they’ve married the wrong partners with similar names, an annulment seems in order—and fast, since Rebecca’s true intended is impatient to claim her as his own, not to mention Rebecca would never marry a lawman like her father. But when the legalities take longer than expected, Rebecca wonders if Tad wasn’t the right husband for her all along. . . .

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!

Want to receive a cheery occasional hello and the chance to win? Subscribe here!

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?

3.  I like when a hero can:

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?

Buy here!
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.
