It’s Here!

Home » Reading » It’s Here!

In: Reading on: September 2, 2017

Honestly, there were many days in the past 3 years when I wondered if I’d ever see another of my stories in published form. And now I know. 

No Small Storm, a historical romance novella, released quietly at the end of this week, right on schedule. Yet how in the world could I have known when writing about the Great Gale of 1815 that Hurricane Harvey would hit so close to home just days before the release? (We got the edges of it–wind and rain–here in Austin and our daughter in Galveston was actually in a pocket that didn’t suffer much, but I know so many struggling and serving in the aftermath!) It kind of changed my marketing plan a bit because I didn’t want to capitalize on others’ tragedy, but on the other hand, maybe this is a timely release, and a timely message of hope. 

To celebrate my return to publishing, the ebook (kindle only) is currently on sale for .99—but get yours quick, because the price goes up to $2.99 on Tuesday morning! 

One more thing: if you read Mem and Simon’s story, would you consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads? I’d be so grateful. 

Thank you, dear readers, for encouraging me to continue to tell stories!

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
