"If
we are to have the very best Christmas ever, we must listen for the
sound of sandaled feet. We must reach out for the Carpenter's hand."
―Thomas S. Monson
Hey Ya'll,
Merry Christmas! My favorite thing about December is the prospect of new
beginnings. God's greatest gift to us was Jesus Christ, and He was
given to us so that we could change and become more like Him. Every day,
every week, every month, and every year, are moments to begin again and
start fresh. New beginnings can mean new adventures and even second
chances. Celebrating that tiny baby in a manger reminds me of that.
I wish you the warmest and happiest of holidays this season. May you
find peace and comfort in your family, your friends, and your God. I
hope you make time to serve and allow others to serve you. It is one of
the best ways to remember Him.
From the Writing Desk
This month I sent a proposal to Harlequin Love Inspired for my next
contemporary romance. I worked really hard on the outline and first
three chapters of this bed and breakfast Southern novel for three
months. By the new year, I should either get a green light to finish up
the first draft or set it aside for another day. Here's to hope! It will
be the 3rd contract with them if things work out.
On the horizon, I'll be starting book #4 in the Gentlemen of the Coast series, and you're the first to know it's titled, A Lieutenant's Secret.
I do have the cover. It's super pretty with another cool ship and
dainty gown, but let's drag out the suspense until late winter when it's
closer to publishing day. This story will be set in colonial Virginia
and probably released next summer if not earlier.
What's next in bookstores? My new Harlequin Love Inspired release, A Promise for His Daughter, will be out on April 26th. The
book cover is still under wraps, but I have seen it, and it's
A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. Here's the three-line cover blurb: "His latest project
has a two-year-old surprise. The house he wants to restore. The family
he wants to build."
