Happy Summer, my bookish friends!
Boy, do I have NEWS for you! However, how are you doing? Are you getting a chance to enjoy the summer and slow down to savor a glass of iced coffee or sweet tea?
I confess summer tends to speed past thanks to ministries, barbecues with friends, and homeschool. I’m learning slowly to live in the moment and be still.
HOWEVER, I’ve tons of exciting adventures to share!
My Light of Stars (an Indian heiress navigates Regency England while searching for her missing mother) reached finals for the Oregon Cascade Writers contest (historical fiction, published author category).
I have a cover for We’ll Meet Again, my World War II time split cozy mystery! See below.
The First Daughter: Eve’s Story is in the cover design process and final layout. I finished my edits and heard wonderful things from my editors!
I signed for another cozy mystery set within Italy during World War II during the Christmas season. I’ve got artists and resistance fighters on secret missions. Along with romance. Always romance :). Stay tuned for the title reveal.
I’m finishing edits for my String of Pearls novel (yay, title reveal!) for Guideposts Fiction. I can’t wait to show you the gorgeous cover regarding a femme fatale master thief and a World War II train robbery. I’m giddy over this book! Think Mission Impossible meets To Catch a Thief.
FINALLY: I signed for a NEW series with Guideposts. Mysteries in the Bible. I’m currently drafting a story about giants. YES. Giants and the Promised Land.
And…I have other things cooking in the background. I hope to share more in the months to come. Lots of cover reveals and special gifts for you. You don’t want to miss what’s coming next. Now is the time to sign up for my newsletter and get a gift novella, No Mountain too High.
Isn’t the below cover pretty? I LOVED the artist’s rendition of Whoopie Pies and the Amish hat on the cover. A bit about the newest release coming August 10th.
