Hello, readers!

I���ve got some exciting news to share, so let���s dive right in!

I���m thrilled to announce that Humble Blessings #3���Elam and Anika���s story���has officially gone into production! Even better, it has a release date of July 2026. That means I���ll have two Love Inspired releases in the coming year.

No final title yet (that���s still in the works), but I���ll share updates across my social media as soon as I can. If you want to catch the latest news, be sure to follow me at @pamdwrites (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky).

And now for the big news:

Street Team Sign-Ups Are Open!

With An Amish Widow���s Hope drawing ever closer to release on January 27th, 2026 (or January 1st, if you buy directly from Harlequin.com) I���m opening sign-ups for my ARC/Street Team!

If you���re new to the term, here���s the scoop: a Street Team is a group of enthusiastic readers who help spread the word about a new book. Members receive an early review copy (ARC) and in return, share honest reviews and help create buzz by encouraging folks to pre-order the book. It���s fun, it���s supportive, and it makes a huge difference for an author.��

Why Pre-Orders Matter

Pre-orders are incredibly important in publishing. When readers reserve a book before its release, it signals to the publisher and retailers that there is strong interest in the title. For authors, this can help build momentum and ensure a successful launch.��

Why Street Teams Matter

Street Teams are a special part of a book���s journey.��Every little bit of buzz makes a big difference, and you can help your favorite authors find their way to more readers! Plus, it���s fun to be ���the first to read the book��� before release day!

Sign-ups will stay open through September 30th, and I���ll contact team members at the beginning of October.�� ��Join the Street Team

A peek behind the scenes…

I���ve been riding motorcycles for years. While I���ve retired the big bikes (like my Harley and Ninja), I still enjoy getting out on my Honda PCX 150. I���ve always had a helmet cam, and now I���m starting to share videos of my rides around the Texas/New Mexico border.

Here���s my most recent upload���a ride to my old hometown. Be kind, I���m still learning video editing! I plan to share more in the coming months, so stay tuned!

First, congratulations to last month���s winner: Diane Pramberger. She won the August giveaway.��

One of my favorite things is being able to surprise and delight my readers with little prezzies throughout the year. It���s my way of saying thank you for supporting my writing journey. So, how about this little set for September?
