I Have NEWS!

Happy sweltering sticky boob month. It is kinda miserable here in East Texas and that my friend is good news. It means I can guilt free camp out in the house and do what I love. Okay, sure, after the dishes, laundry, and I’ve cleaned the house- then I can sit down and plod away at the keyboard. Everyone wants to know about book 3 already.  I am knee deep into this one and it is really kind of exciting. I don’t even know how this one will turn out.

I did want to share with you that I changed the cover on my first book, LONG JOURNEY HOME. It is the first book in my Cultivating Texas Roots Series. Long story made short I was forced to change the very first cover and didn’t much care for the second. Hopefully, this third time will be the last. My distributor, Amazon has not changed it on their website if you go looking for it but, I promise if you place an order you’ll get the new design.

The next big news I have to share is a book signing is coming up.  This annual signing event is a group effort from our local writers, Leon County Writers Anonymous, in conjunction with the Elmer P. and Jewel Ward Memorial Library. I will be present with fellow authors having our works on display for signing and purchase. There was even a fabulous article submitted to our local newspaper detailing the event. I am excited about it. It is a chance for friends and family to come out and share in the celebration of another book release.

We have an exciting give away happening at this event. If you would like more information on the signing or to be entered in the give away, check out our Facebook page for all the details. Leon County Writers Anonymous.

I write fiction because we need to escape reality sometimes. I really love me some Texas. Who doesn’t a heroic Texas Ranger Romance? Historical means you can learn history while you indulge in a gripping story. It’s Christian because that’s just who I am. If you love all these things you’ll want to try my stories. I took all these things and wove them together to make a tale that might have laid the foundation for families in our East Texas County today.

Support a Local Author- we have to eat too!

 

Book Rendezvous

Today for sure has been a day like no other. I woke up late, clipped my hair in a bun and ran out of the house. A few errands before I found my way to the beauty shop in town. My daughter who happens to be my beautician needed my hair or rather my hair needed her. At birth I got a double dose of fine thin hair and it was starting to look poor at old haggardly lady lengths. Yes, kinda like Smeagol now that you mention it. She got me all fixed up. I shoulda took a selfie! 🙂

Then on to lunch with the ladies for fabulous productive conversations. We do have a good time when we gather. The next destination would be a place where we writers feel most at home. The place where paper, ink, and dust has mingled in just the right conditions. A house of genres, themes, and styles. Have you quite got it yet?

Yes, the Library. I do like the library as do my children who have spent a portion of their lives looking at all the chapters of possibilities. I had many readers who needed to pick up their books today.  I set this as our rendezvous. Can I tell you? I am out of books! I sold all of them! Know if I could sell like this to people that I don’t know- well, my husband could work a lot less and take me on vacation more.

It has been an epic day – coasting on a cloud. I am so very thankful to those who graciously purchased my books in person or online. It does come in the kindle form or traditional paperback. I do hope you enjoy this new book and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the subject.

Big news coming up, I have a book signing scheduled in the month of July. We will gather with our fellow local writers and put forth our works of art. That is always exciting as we each draw different people and we enjoy the fellowship. Stay tuned for more details as that draws near.

If you can find a place to do a review like Amazon, Google Books, Book Bub, Barnes and Nobles, or even my Sufficient Grace Novels page on Facebook – I really, really, appreciate it! Book Reviews are how we sell more books!

Happy Reading!

PS. What do I write?

I have two books out- Long Journey Home and Between Two Fires. They are both Historical Christian Fiction set in the 1850’s here in Leon County, Texas. The early years of Texas history lived out in fiction form. I would not be afraid to let my nieces read them. I have had several men read them and love it too. Give me a chance!

Between Two Fires

About time! I know, I know. Everyone has been waiting for this book to become available.

Between Two Fires is now AVAILABLE exclusively @ Amazon!

Between Two Fires is the second book in the Cultivating Texas Roots Series. The first book, Long Journey Home, is also available on Amazon. This simple read is historical fiction set in 1850’s in the growing, developing state of Texas. This clean romance shares the hardships and trials our ancestors might have faced.

This book came together in a very difficult time in my life and year.  I hope that you read it to see the glory of God and the amazing forgiveness that can come. The cover is most special to me; most will know immediately without being told that the lovely young lady on the cover is my daughter. Our family has a love of history and reenactments.  We were playing around with some ideas and decided to take some pictures about this time last year. I am so glad we did!

I don’t want to tell you too much about the story. I am so interested to hear back from all the readers in book reviews of what you thought. Book reviews are essential to us writers and its the second best way to show your love for an author.

What’s the first way?  To buy the book of course!
