With All My Heart….

Check out my new Christian Romance which is free right now on Smashwords.com

Here is a little excerpt for you to chew on!

When she got home she unlocked the door and walked in. She did not lock the door behind her. She went to the kitchen to put her tea pot on. She turned and started up the hall to get her clothes ready. When she got halfway up the hall a hand grabbed her and pulled her back up the hall. She tried to turn around to see who it was. She started to scream and a hand covered her mouth. 
She struggled with all her strength, but the person who held on to her was too strong. She tried to bite the hand over her mouth, but he pressed even harder. She could taste blood on her lips. She could tell it was a man by his strength and his large hands.
He pushed her forward into her bedroom. She tried to turn around, but he held her tight against him. She brought her foot down hard on his foot. He grunted and pounded a fist into her shoulder. She cringed in pain. She could not believe this was happening to her. 
Then he pushed her down on the bed and when she turned to try to slide off the other side he hit her so hard that she saw stars. She tried to hold onto consciousness, but the blackness surrounded her. She said a prayer as the blackness took over.

Well my new novel has a name!

As I have spoken in the past couple of posts, I finished my new Contemporary Christian Romance novella. I have been struggling for a month or so about a name for my book. Well, finally after several attempts, it is done. The name is

“With All My Heart…”. I can say that I put a lot of my own faith in this book.

The book hopefully will inspire others to search out their faith and renew it. I have prayed over this novella several times. It is scary when you go to a new side of the genre you write in, but I feel like I have been led to write this

Christian series. I just hope it is helpful to someone out there that may not have anyone to help.

Maybe just the act of picking up a book will help inspire them to get out of their shell. But isn’t that what all authors want to accomplish when we put pen to paper. We want to inspire people to do something. Maybe it is to inspire a single mom to step out of her comfort zone and do something for herself, or maybe a widow/widower to open their heart to love again, even help someone who has had a tragedy in their life to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I know, maybe that was a little deep for Tuesday morning, but that is how I feel when I write. I want to be able to ignite a little romance in everyone. Romance helps keep your marriage new and exciting, it helps any relationship to stay healthy. When you lose the romance, it is sad.

My readers will be surprised when they read this new book. My books always have a cowboy and horses, but this one really steps away from my normal work. I am a country girl, what can I say. There is something about a cowboy that just inspires romance in my mind. Maybe you don’t get into cowboys, but at least be open to the romance.

So, if you follow my books, check out my new book. It will be available this week. I will update you on the way to find it later when the info is available.

To all my followers, have a wonderful Tuesday and try a little romance today! Step out with your Faith and just go for it.

Until the next time, Good Blogging my friends!

 

Monday Night and all is well with the World!

Well, the 4th novel is being shined and polished. I feel really good about this one.

Hope to have it published this week. It has been a good Monday. I even found time

to make homemade vegetable soup. That’s right, homemade. My husband and teenage son

were impressed.

Hope all of you have a wonderful Monday night! Don’t worry, the weekend is only four days away, that is after midnight tonight!

Well, I did what I hoped to today!

I told you this morning I had a goal to finish one of my works in progress. Well ten sore fingers and

two tired eyes later I have finally finished one of them. This will be the first in a series of Contemporary

Christian Romance books. The series is called “Lean on Him” and it is written to inspire people through

faith in God. All of the books in the series are based on a tragedy or problem that needs to be solved.

Through love and faith, the heroine or hero solve the issues at hand.

Hopefully this series can help someone who is experiencing troubles in their life.

Well now to the fun part. Editing and designing the cover.

 

Well to all my followers and fellow bloggers, have a great day and a blessed one!

 

Had an AH HAH Moment!

Well, to continue this mornings post. I will be working to finish my new Christian Contemporary Romance novel. Funny how things happen. I was just cleaning my house and praying on it. The key is to pray when you have a decision to make. Hope to have finished soon. Wish me luck.

Just to let you know the 20th is the last day of the 50% off “Moonbeam & Roses” on Smashwords.com.

Use coupon code VV46F.  So check it out! It has gotten some good reviews lately. It just went to Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Diesel and Apple. YEAH!

I have too many book ideas going through my head!!!

Well it is Saturday morning! I have checked all my book sites and need to clean house, but

I have four book manuscripts started and five outlined ideas for manuscripts fighting in my head for

my full attention.

It is a good problem if you are a writer, but man on man, which one do you start with? I would love to finish at least one of the four I have started by Sunday. Yeah, like that will happen!!!

I have had a great week. I received three good reviews of my work this week. That is always a good

thing when you are a writer. I am excited about where this is going. I have let a couple of people in on the content of my unfinished manuscripts and they are wanting to see the finished product. My assistant has promised she will strangle me if I don’t get at least one of them finished. She has read all four manuscripts and she said I had left her dangling in mid-air without a net. HAHAHA!

Well, maybe in my next blog I will have at least one of the works in progress completed.

On a personal note, wish me luck. I have my 25th High School Reunion tonight. Yikes! I don’t feel like I have been out of school that long. Well, life goes on!
