In my video review, I mistakenly refer to her previous title as The Secret of Lemon Drop Pie – I should called it The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie! Sorry for the mis-spoken title! Both books are amazing!

I hope all of you have been enjoying autumn!

Bathroom & Christmas…

Speaking of Christmas, I keep forgetting to raise the price on my Holiday Romance Book Bundle! It’s still $20 – I plan on raising it soon. I’ve just been so busy writing – hard to focus on prices and marketing stuff.

Speaking of markets, the other day my husband and I visited Lowe’s (a large-scale home improvement store) to purchase a few items for our bathroom remodel. First thing I noticed was the Christmas decorations! Aren’t they pretty?

When do you put your Christmas decorations up?

The Blacksmith’s Bride – A Video

As stated in previous newsletters, I’m still hard at work on The Blacksmith’s Bride – a historical novel set in 1867 Philadelphia. The novel is set to be released at the end of October. I’m enjoying writing this story. The Blacksmith’s Bride has a bit of suspense. Here’s another short video that I posted on Youtube about my novel. Share the video with your friends!

Autumn

It’s autumn! I had  a few questions  that I’d like you to respond. The questions are about books with an autumn theme. I also have questions about deluxe editions.

Raquel’s father died when she was a baby – that’s what she thought…

She receives a mysterious phone call – stating her father is alive and in hospice. He must see her before he dies. Why has her mother lied to her for all these years about her father’s “death”?

She must rely on Patrick, her ex, to help her to make the trip to see her father during a massive snowstorm. Patrick has his own set of problems – he never told Raquel the real reason why he abandoned her three years ago.

Bathroom Repairs

Do you like shopping for fixtures?

We’re still in the process of repairing our bathroom. Right now, we’re choosing fixtures and other things. We shopped at Floor and Decor – see pics above!

I hate shopping – the only thing that I enjoy shopping for is books. It was a chore to go to the Floor and Decor store to choose tiles and grout. We had to go both Saturday and Sunday! We took a friend with us. Our friend felt that the tile that I chose for the bathroom floor was a bit too bold. Since I’d decided on a black and white theme, I tried to choose a pattern that made me feel something.

When I was looking through the tiles, I didn’t feel a thing. I couldn’t tell if anything looked “nice”. There was a sense of nothingness within me while gazing at hundreds of tiles. It was so overwhelming! I just wanted to go home and work on my novel or read a book!

This is what I chose for the bathroom floor:

This is what I chose for the shower wall:

This will be used for the shower floor:

I’m starting to change my mind about the entire bathroom. I wondered if I should have chosen brushed nickel (instead of black) for the faucets and chosen a blue theme. I saw a few blue-patterned tiles that I really liked! I can’t change my mind now, though. We’ve already purchased a bunch of stuff and need to stay on track. It took such a long time to choose everything.

The only thing left for us to choose is the paint. The contractor implied that we didn’t need to choose that right now.

The contractors will probably start sometime after October 10th – by then, all of the stuff for the remodel should have been delivered.

So, do you enjoy remodeling rooms in your house? Do you enjoy looking at patterns and fixtures?

Seasonal Reads and Deluxe Editions with Sprayed Edges

Since autumn has begun, I’ve noticed a slew of autumn-themed romances available. Some are traditionally published and some are indie. Many of the covers have earthy tones such as beige, gold, russet and red.

Do you prefer seasonal reads? Do you prefer reading a book set in autumn, during the autumn season?

What about Christmas books? Do you read these all year long?

I’m asking because when thinking of a season, I tend to prefer Christmas books – probably because didn’t celebrate Christmas while I was growing up. I was thinking of writing some seasonal books in the future and wondered what readers thought of seasonal reads.

On a related note, I had another question about: DELUXE EDITIONS with SPRAYED EDGES:

There are many bestselling books that come out with a deluxe edition with sprayed edges. Do you ever purchase the deluxe edition – as well as the original version? Do you read the deluxe edition, or, is it only for display?

I’ve noticed that there are a lot of deluxe editions, with sprayed edges, for the autumn-themed stories. The edges are usually sprayed gold or orange, and the edges also have cute images of pumpkins, leaves, etc.

Leave your comments! Respond to the bolded questions! Enjoy the rest of your day!

We’re still in the process of repairing our bathroom. Right now we’re choosing fixtures and other things. We’ll post pictures when the remodel begins.

Autumn

Did you have a thriving garden this year? Autumn is officially here! I’m still getting peppers in my garden. Usually my basil is gone when the first frost hits. We didn’t get many tomatoes. Here’s a pic of one of our beautiful banana peppers.

Still Mailing Book Bundles!

Thanks to all of you for your patience! In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned that I was catching up with mailing out the Christmas Romance Book Bundles! I’m almost caught up. I still have a few that I need to wrap and send out. For those who are wondering, it’s not too late to order a Christmas Book Bundle! The books make great reading any time of the year! Order extra sets to gift to friends and family! It’s best to do this now before the price goes up!

Picnic in the Park

Have you gone on any picnics this summer? If so, what did you pack to eat? Did you pack your food in a picnic basket?

Most of you probably know that I enjoy writing about food. In The Blacksmith’s Bride the hero and heroine (Benjamin and Francine) indulge in a picnic in the woods. On their picnic they eat fried chicken, hard boiled eggs, apples, bread, and fried peach hand pies. As I was writing the picnic scene, I wondered how many people nowadays actually go out on a picnic in a park or a wooded area, with only one (or perhaps a few more) people.

I’m not really referring to a huge cookout/party type of picnic. I’m talking about something that’s much smaller and more intimate. I also wondered if people owned picnic baskets nowadays! I don’t own one. I believe it’s been decades since I’ve been on a small picnic style gathering with one or a few people.

So, have you ever been on a small picnic gathering? If so, I’d love to know the details! What did you pack to eat? Did you put your food into a picnic basket?

The picnic scene in The Blacksmith’s Bride marks an important turning point in the story! If you want to find out more, then you need to order your copy today!

Faith Struggles

Have you ever had struggles with your faith? Could you tell me about it?

I know I’ve struggled with my faith plenty of times. Sometimes, I ask myself, God, why did this have to happen?

I believe our faith struggles are part of what makes us human. We question God, but, don’t always receive the answers that we seek. Sometimes, I feel we will never truly understand some things until we get to heaven.

In The Blacksmith’s Bride, Francine struggles with her faith. She was born a socialite. She’s always had a lot of material possessions and she’s had an excellent education. She feels entitled to the benefits that life has granted her.

Her faith is tested when she marries an abusive man who gambles away her entire fortune.

Now, it’s after the Civil War and she’s impoverished. Not only is she poor, but, she has a villain who is after her for scrupulous reasons. She’s fearful, and wonders, why God allowed such things to happen to her.

Her faith is tested as she connects with people who care about her.

I hope you enjoy reading The Blacksmith’s Bride. I’m still hard at work on this wonderful story! The novel is set to be released at the end of October!

So, have you ever had struggles with your faith? Could you tell me about it?

Broken Foot, Driving and Book Bundles!

Thanks to all of you for your patience! In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned that I’d started driving again. Many of you ordered the $20 Book Bundle – but I was behind in wrapping and mailing the orders! I believe I reached out to all of you about the delay in shipping – due to my broken foot. With the help of a few friends, we have managed to wrap and box up most of the orders! I plan on going to the post office today to ship! Again, thanks for being patient with me!

For those who are wondering, it’s not too late to order a Christmas Book Bundle! The books make great reading any time of the year! Order extra sets to gift to friends and family!

Fizzy Drinks

Do you enjoy carbonated beverages (sodas)? If so, which ones are your favorites?

I love Cherry Coke or Cherry Pepsi with a wedge of lime! I put ice cubes into a glass, squeeze the lime juice over the ice, then add my soda! I then plop the freshly squeezed lime into my drink! So delicious!

I’m still hard at work writing The Blacksmith’s Bride. I have a scene where two of the characters are drinking a soda – in the 1800s it was most likely called soda water. These carbonated beverages were served at the apothecary. The customers would sit at a soda fountain. The druggist or soda fountain operator would serve the drinks cold – usually without ice. The beverage was flavored with syrup – such as root beer, lemon, orange, sarsaparilla (tastes similar to root beer) or ginger. Bottled carbonated beverages were also available back then, especially in cities such as Philadelphia.

I love researching new things as I work on The Blacksmith’s Bride – which is set to be released at the end of October.

So, do you enjoy carbonated beverages (sodas)? If so, which ones are your favorites?

More Trouble on the Homefront – Bathroom

I mentioned in last week’s newsletter that we’re having our bathroom remodeled. Well, we’re still getting estimates. Hopefully, we’ll decide on a contractor before the end of the week! Here’s a pic of some of the damage. We’re anxious to get this done. We’re fortunate that we have another shower to use while we get the master bathroom redone. Thanks to all of you for your wisdom and suggestions about remodeling.

School Days

In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned back to school time! Well, my son has returned to college. Here’s a pic of him on campus!

Broken Foot

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words! During my last doctor visit, she gave me the go-ahead to start driving again! So, I can now put on a regular shoe on my injured foot! I can only wear the shoe if I’m driving or going someplace. While at home, she still wants me to wear my boot! I was so glad! I can also take the stairs now! So, do you know what I did last Saturday? I went to the hairdresser! I really needed to get my hair done! I’d been wearing a scarf for a few weeks, too tired to get my hair to behave!

Bonnets

Do you ever wear hats in public?

In my historicals the women usually wear bonnets. In historical times if a woman didn’t wear a bonnet in public it was considered improper. If they didn’t wear a bonnet, then they might wear a fashionable hat – perhaps similar to the one featured on the cover of The Blacksmith’s Bride.

Nowadays, I mostly notice women wearing hats on Easter Sunday and during tea parties. If you wear hats, when and where do you wear them? Share pics if you have them!

More Trouble on the Homefront – Bathroom

Remember we recently had our downstairs bathroom repaired and partially remodeled due to a leaking pipe and mold?

Well, now our upstairs bathroom needs to be remodeled! Another leak has occurred, and due to the nature of our bathroom’s condition, it’s best if we remodel it.

Have you ever remodeled your bathroom? If you did, how long ago did you remodel it?

Back to School!

As mentioned last week, the kids are going back to school! My son begins classes on August 25th! The public schools in my county start classes September 2nd – the day after Labor Day. Speaking of back to school, have you read The Doctor’s Bride yet?

The Doctor’s Bride is Book #2 in The Romance Bride Series. This is the story about Deborah. When she was a teenager, she had a crush on Timothy, the young man who lived down the street. Timothy ended up marrying Deborah’s twin sister – Eve – instead of Deborah! Several years later, widower Timothy returns to town as the new doctor. Deborah never understood why Timothy married her sister!

Deborah is now the town’s schoolteacher. She dreams of earning a college degree in botany. Should she accept Timothy’s offer to help her study for her college entrance exam?

​The Doctor’s Bride is a wonderful, warm novella to enjoy at the beginning of the school year! Read this wonderful review about The Doctor’s Bride!

Truly a beautiful story of courage and inspiration! A compellingly sweet tale of family and trusting in God’s promises for tomorrow. The story is about one young woman’s desire to go to college and a man who manages to get a new beginning after tragedy. This inspiring story by an incredible author is a joy to read.

Broken Foot!

Many of you have contacted me, asking for a status about my foot! I’m still hobbling along on my boot – mostly using my walker for support! Thanks so much for all of your letters and messages of concern! My next doctor’s appointment is on August 27th!
