"There’s nothing more pitiful than a wandering creature
who was never meant to be wild.”
―Lynda Rutledge, West with Giraffes
Hey Ya'll!
It's
pumpkin spice season, football season, and time for hoodies and jackets
in the mornings. Hooray! If you have children in school, I hope you're
surviving the new year with its scheduling, health, and financial
challenges. I still have a hard time driving past the high school that
gave our family wonderful memories over the years. Piece by piece, my
heart has broken up as my kids moved on, and this Southern girl misses
those busy school days and Friday Night Lights. Embrace your season of
life. They change before you know it.
This past month Rob and I volunteered to go down to New Orleans to help
with hurricane cleanup. (See above picture. Yes, I know my arms are
freakishly long.) That was a drive, but I know it was worth it because I
can't imagine what I would do with a devastated home and no muscle or
extra funds to repair it. I admit there wasn't much I could do tarping
roofs with the rest of the "boys," but I did shovel and clean up
insulation and debris and offer moral support in the form of not
complaining about the heat. Next month, we have another adventure, but
you'll have to keep reading to find out where...
From the Writing Desk
So I have good news and bad news. First, the exciting announcement: Last
week I signed a contract with Harlequin for my second inspirational
romance with them set for Spring 2022. I'm actually just finishing edits
on the first revisions this week. The original title was Her Best Friend's Baby Surprise, but it looks like it will be changed to A Promise for His Daughter. I'll take it!
~*~*~Cover Reveal~*~*~
You voted for my new Indie book cover, and here are the results. Thank
you for taking the time to do it. I really took each comment to heart
and made the best changes possible on the winning cover.
In other news, I'm sorry to tell you this fall's release, Falling for the Coach, (above) has been postponed. I feel bad because we had a lot of fun on Facebook
naming the town and some of the characters, but a last round of
feedback from a trusted reader showed me that it's still not ready to be
released this month. So, back to edits on this monster, which I love
dearly, but not everything I love makes a great story. C'est la vie. I will keep you posted. Pinkie promise.
Check out these new releases (or books on sale) from my supportive author friends who write great books!

Until Next Month...
Thank
you for reading all of my newsletters. I appreciate you letting my
emails arrive in your inbox so we can stay in touch. Stay safe this
month and find ways to enjoy the change of season even if it's just a
daily walk. I am heading down to Costa Rica soon for adventure and
exploration. Watch for my pics and posts on my Instagram page.
Have a wonderful day!
Warmly,
Danielle Thorne
