(:

What a great question! Thanks so much for reading my books and I'm glad you enjoyed the faith messages in them. Being compared to Francine Rivers is very high praise.

I have LOTS of recs, maybe not space enough for them all here. If you narrow down what genres you're looking for, it might help me to give better suggestions.

So how to make it organic? That's a tough one, but I think what I always aim to do is create circumstances that will cause the character to have to learn the faith lesson God has impressed on me to include (and guess what? I'm usually learning the lesson too.) When we make our characters uncomfortable by putting obstacles in their path, they react. Isn't that what we also do in real life? As far as the romance aspect of my stories, my first principle is that the Bible is clear we aren't to be equally unyoked. One character in one of my books came to this realization slowly, but I didn't want to spell it out for the reader. Some readers still insist she made the wrong choice in the end--that's their right to think that, and maybe I could have delivered it better, though I tried to make the path of breadcrumbs along the way so readers wouldn't be shocked, but it's my hope, somewhere along the way as we all grow and learn in our faith, that instead of riding our emotions, that we'll go back to what the Word of God says. In my other book, the girl isn't as strong in her faith, and she doesn't even think about this principle until the very end. I wanted to represent the girls who've not had a good example to follow and wouldn't naturally come to this conclusion. Fortunately, other things prevented her from giving her heart right away, until that feller yielded. But let me tell you, he didn't want to. It took throwing a lot in his path to get him to listen to the Lord.

So I guess the long-winded answer to your question is--it comes down to the characters. Get to know them. Sometimes that's only by writing a lot of scenes that maybe won't even make it in your book. (I could publish a book of only deleted scenes at this point). Once you know them, and how they'll react, you can devise (aren't we crafty?) situations and scenes that will help them realize their love for someone or what they need to realize about God.

Thanks so much for the question and your kind words. It always means the world to me when a reader (and writer) reaches out. Let me know about genres for book recs and I'll be happy to supply you with some suggestions. God bless!(less)

Another Time and Another Place

It would seem that a book set only nine years earlier than my first book’s timeline wouldn’t need a ton of research, right? But let’s think about that. How much changes in a decade? Even in contemporary times? We know that ten years can mean the ushering in of technology not available before, social norms shifting, fashion and trend changes. The 1800s were not any different in that regard.
