Blog postI can't put it all in the newsletter, you know? So here are a couple of updates.
First: SEASON OF MY ENEMY is the July book pick for the Christian WWII Readers' Book Club. There's still plenty of time to get on board with that if you enjoy reading along with others for discussion.
Second: To wind up the month, I'll be going live with the very same club on July 28th, 7:30 p.m. central time. We'll talk about the book, and we chat about whatever else is on our minds too. -
Blog postI am SO thankful that the joy of the Lord runs down deep. Rather than trust my day-to-day changing feelings--the surface emotions--whether it be happiness or discouragement, the joy Christ offers is the molten lava that fills my core. The praise song that says, the joy of the LORD is my strength is right on. Amen!
Because we need that kind of real, inner core, strength and joy. The kind that holds us up when we pull an emotional muscle.
You and I live with constant -
Blog postBreath-taking intrigue abounds in this novel that takes place in ancient Ephesus during a time of Roman rule and persecution of the early Christian church. Debut author Liisa Eyerly weaves a mesmerizing tale of murder and treachery in a city that rises up vividly from history. As Sabina, the story’s heroine, wrestles with her own personal faith and longings, she also finds herself thrown into the mystery of who committed a terrible murder in which a man is poisoned and dies right be

Blog postSet along the eastern seaboard, this latest historical by Laura Frantz is a slight step away her frontier stories. With only mentions of the war raging in the wilds, Frantz focuses instead upon a heart’s longing and the undercurrents of war from the viewpoint of a nearly-spinster shop owner in York, Virginia. Distance truly makes the heart grow fonder for Esmee Shaw as she awaits the return of a sea captain who she’s fallen in love with for the second time—or never really fell out o

Blog postThis latest installment in the Heroines of WWII series was another winner. It’s been so fun to discover how different each author’s voice and style is in these stories!
In Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War (such an interesting title!) war-widowed mother of two, Peggy Witherspoon, hasn’t let go of the ambition she’s held onto since she was a little girl--to fly planes. Not only does she get to fulfil her dream, but she does it on a grand scale when she joins the first Women’s Airforce Serv -
Blog postFebruary 1st is the BIG DAY!
Lumberjacks & Ladies releases in paperback, ebook, audio--yes, AUDIO!--large print, and library bound! I hope you'll request it in multiple formats at your local library.
As part of the celebration, I'll be joining Mary Davis and Donna Schlachter, both authors with new releases and co-writers on the Heroes, Heroines, & History blog, for a virtual get-together--or as we like to call it, a PARTY--on February 15th!
That means there'll b -

Blog postBoy howdy, this is a good one. Saving Mrs. Roosevelt is a unique WWII story. I think one of the things I liked most about it was that I hadn’t read one quite like it before.
Candice Patterson’s heroine was a different type (a Maine fisherwoman—not too assuming, not too graceful), and she plopped her in a unique setting with high stakes and a really cool premise. She provided a compelling bit of history about the first women’s coast guard, and the suspenseful plotting kept me riveted. I had -
Blog postI so enjoyed reading Kate Breslin's new novel, As Dawn Breaks. Ms. Breslin explored an aspect of WWI that I knew next to nothing about. I'd heard of the Canary Girls, but didn't know anything much about their role in the war. I was enthralled learning about the lives and dangers of the young women who worked in munitions factories--and in such an interesting setting as Scotland. Throw in a whole lot of espionage, sabotage, a false identity, a woman in hiding from a nasty suitor, and t

Blog postRescuing Her Heart is a western, an historical romance, and addresses themes of women’s fiction all rolled up in one. I’ll be honest, when I started reading, I made some presumptions about how the story was going to go, (because I can’t help myself—just ask anyone who watches a movie with me). I figured I had it pretty well pegged. But that was most definitely not the case. In Cindy Huff’s story, she layers plenty of upsets and surprises. There’s adventure and a variety of characters that

Blog postI have yet to be anything but impassioned by a Bischof read, and that’s a fact. I wasn’t sure what to expect in The Gold in These Hills, because it was a split-time novel, the first I’ve read like that from Ms. Bischof.
But as usual, the story pulled me right in, in equal parts, historical and present day. I was surprised at the way the present-day story turned out, yet pleasantly so, and I loved that the two parts didn’t mirror each other in the romance department. They -
Blog postOne step ahead of danger! That’s were Liz Tolsma keeps readers moving in her novel A Picture of Hope.
This was my first Tolsma novel, and it did not disappoint. With Nazis around every corner, hunting down children deemed unworthy, as well as other innocents, this story had many breathless moments interspersed with gentle, introspective ones. Some of the historical events mentioned were hard to read for their total evil, yet importantly included. At times, during this sto -

Blog postWith her typical flare for bringing frontier history and romance onto the page and holding readers in a grip until the end, Lori Benton continues her story of redemption and love begun in Mountain Laurel. While Ian and Seona rediscover love and carve a new beginning in the wilderness through faults and stumbles, other characters' stories come to life too. I also loved how this story intertwined some of the authors earlier works (while not being a sequel to them in itself). Especially enthrall

Blog postIf you enjoy a vintage story with an FBI/police procedural feel and a gentle romance, you'll enjoy this August release by Johnnie Alexander. The novel introduces an entire new series that celebrates heroines of WWII.
Available for Pre-Order on Amazon
In The Crypographer’s Dilemma, Eloise Marshal, the grieving heroine, is an unassuming code developer, content behind her desk, who is pulled into the FBI, trained, and assigned to the task of decoding encrypted messages that may uncove -
Blog postFrontier fiction fans rejoice! Here’s a novel that doesn’t smooth history’s ragged edges with a 21st century file. I was totally immersed in this dramatic, heart-pounding world of life at Fort Pitt while under siege during Pontiac’s Rebellion—a brief period just when the French and Indian War ends that is seldom touched on nowadays, and probably largely forgotten by many modern readers. Pegg Thomas will take you back to that rugged wilderness in the story of Sarah Feight, a woman whos

Blog postThe opening line grabbed me: The night burned red with the flames of revolution. J’nell Ciesielski’s latest is a vast, well-researched epic which brought to mind the famed disappearance of the princess Anastasia but with a much more favorable outcome. The novel takes readers on a terrifying flight from the palaces of a crumbling regime in Russia, to the heroic medical front of WWI and into the seedy underworld of France, and finally to reprieve on a regal estate in the highlands of Scotl

Blog postI love, love, love frontier fiction! If there is a particular genre that best stands a chance of finding a lifelong home on my bookshelf, it's historical fiction set on the American frontier. So when I had the chance to get hold of Denise Weimer's brand new release, Bent Tree Bride, you can bet I grabbed it.
I was already familiar with the the hero in the story, Sam Hicks, as he was first introduced to readers in Denise's previous novel, The Witness Tree, but B -
Blog postConnilyn Cossette has brought another Biblical saga to life in the pages of To Dwell Among Cedars, a story of the Ark of the Covenant and of God’s judgment, His mercy, and the redemption and forgiveness of those who feel beyond His reach. In it, she pens a stirring romance between vivid characters that come to life off the page and are not easily forgotten. (She gives them the most awesome names!) There were moments that moved a little bit slow in the earlier part of the book, but the unfolding

Blog postI read that remark on a social media post recently. Someone was talking about writing historical fiction, and a history buff, ghosting the page, asked, “What’s the point?” as if there was no real value in reading fiction as an expression of history.
Of course, if you love historical fiction like I do, his comment rankles you as it did me. The implication that fiction has no value, no place in the world of studying history, seems both sad and blinded, doesn’t it?
I know that pe -

Blog postby Guest Author Carol McClain
The last chapter of 2020 closed a few days ago, but not without promising us more heartache in 2021. Our pandemic hasn’t finished with us, and we will find more grief and hardship for many more months.
Now, aren’t you glad you decided to read this blog piece?
But my prognostication comes with hope.
Find the humor.
The very act of smiling—even a fake smile—can change your mood. Go on and give it a try. We’re all in quarantine, so -
Blog postA spell-binding time slip novel that'll make you turn up the lights!
5 Stars
Meeting Dini Blackstone in the opening pages, I wasn't at first sure I'd like this heroine. but the aura is so completely enveloping right there, I was compelled to go on. Sure enough, true to form (because I've yet to be let down by one of Allison Pittman's stories) Dini soon grew on me. I think the fact that the author so winningly captures the mindset of a truly introverted person was part of it. -
Blog postForty authors (yes, 40!) are hosting a Facebook event called the Wyoming Christmas Extravaganza. It's not really in Wyoming, but it truly is an extravaganza. The party lasts for three days!

PLUS, there'll be a triple grand prize giveaway
