My novel, THE HOUSE ON PROSPECT, was released in January.

Ellen Murphy spent her childhood in an idyllic house by the sea. A house surrounded by flower-filled gardens and a white picket fence. A house she fled at eighteen. A house full of secrets.

When her mother Rose, an ex-nun, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Ellen reluctantly returns home to care for her and uncovers a clue to the one secret that has haunted Ellen all her life: the identity of her father. But that is just one of the many secrets hidden behind the beautiful facade of the house on Prospect Road. Ellen discovers the high price both her mother and her Irish grandmother paid for the house on Prospect and she realizes that her meek mother is more of stranger to her than her absent father.

My debut Christian Romance, To Dance Once More (OakTara), was released in September. I am currently writing the sequel and it will be out at the end of the year. My second novel, Song of the Meadowlark, will be out in May.

All Lydia wants is to travel the world before she has to settle down with a husband. But she may not have that choice anymore.

April 1886

Debutante Lydia Jane Barrington lives a carefree, protected existence on Live Oaks Plantation in Florida. But while her sisters happily learn the traditional tasks of women and talk of courting, Lydia dreams of adventure and independence. Even her friendship with handsome Hamilton Scarbrough isn’t enough to hold her back.

Then one day Hamilton opens Lydia’s eyes and her heart to love. But before they can receive permission to court, Lydia overhears a secret conversation about an unscrupulous business deal. Worse, it has everything to do with her and her future. Now she’s faced with the biggest decision of her life—to concede or to fight. Either choice will require great sacrifice…and, perhaps, countless rewards.

Passion. Friendship. A bitter enemy. A life-changing decision.

Set in Victorian-era Florida.

My contemporary Christian romance novel debuted today in trade paperback (http://ow.ly/bCBOJ) and is available on Kindle as well. It will be available in all other e-formats beginning August 2, 2012.

Twenty-four year old Michele Ramirez is as street-wise as they come with a past full of painful memories. Drugs and alcohol are the only friends she trusts but when she announces her unplanned pregnancy to her boyfriend, even her addictions can’t dull the pain of his attack.

Waking up in the hospital, days after her boyfriend’s assault, Michele realizes how bad life is about to get. She finds herself homeless and hopeless until Officer David Matthews befriends her and offers her employment as an assistant to his ailing father, a local pastor.

After accepting the position, Michele uncovers a path she had never imagined available to a woman on the verge of self-destruction. She finds herself on a journey to forget the past, finding hope in a new life, and discovering God’s enduring love and forgiveness for even the worst sinner. But will she live long enough to accept it or will her past mistakes catch up to her?

Not your typical sweet Christian romance story, as it deals with difficult issues such as drug and alcohol addiction as well as physical abuse while still remaining appropriate for Christian fiction.

Special sections:
Group Discussion questions for use by book clubs and Bible study groups as well as a sneak-peek Chapter of Journey to Grace, the newest Christian romance title in the Journey Series available Fall 2012.

You can preview the first chapter at www.TinaKlinesmith.com as well! :)

came out on the Nook on the 12th of this month.

I have my debut Christian romance coming out in September. It's a Civil War romance set in the South, called Undaunted Love. Here's the back cover blurb:

Hugh Byrd, the cold, ambitious patriarch of Byrd's Creek, is used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is the Colton's prime land, and the destruction of the Colton family. What he doesn't count on is his own daughter falling in love with Rafe Colton.

Ripped apart by the Civil War, the young couple must find a way to keep their secret love alive. The end of the War should mean a joyous reconciliation, but when Rafe is accused of a terrible crime, he runs away, leaving Livvie behind once again. Will this finally break their bond, or will their love survive?

A sweeping romance set in the South, Undaunted Love is a tale of faith, hope, patience and the redemption of God's love.

UNDAUNTED LOVE is live on Kindle now! You can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/8d4lswf

I don't know how to add the cover photo into this post, but you can see it on my blog at http://jenningswright.wordpress.com

The book is "in process" for print and on Nook and iTunes.

My new novel, Horses, Adrenaline, and Love, is now available on Amazon and in the Kindle Store. Here's the synopsis:
When Sarah Palmer finds herself back in her little, hometown of Loraine, Nebraska, with her young son, who was part of the town’s biggest scandal in its 125 year history, and a basement full of sculptures she couldn’t sell in Chicago, her only thought is how she can get out again fast.

That is, until a certain dark-haired, equine veterinarian sweeps her off her feet.

Marty Scott can’t keep his mind off the short, little spit-fire with the tough exterior and a heart as soft as a kitten. Once he figures out the way past her defenses, he thinks it’s just a hop and a skip to the altar.

That is, until a new scandal is born out of tragedy.

Sarah tends to run from her problems. Marty is problem solver, who prides himself on his solutions, but sometimes even the best problem solver gets stymied.

Sometimes the answer needs to come from a higher power.

My new novel, A TRYST OF FAITH, will be available December 2013. It is a tale of stolen kisses, broken lives, & hostile takeovers. Here's a sneak preview:

“Mmm, this feels good,” said Garrett, as he eased back into his seat and settled his lanky frame behind the wheel of his mini bus, while simultaneously snuggling closer to Elaine in the passenger seat. After a long day at the office and the usual fight through traffic to take Elaine home; Garrett was ready for their now familiar tête-à-tête in their parking spot under the canopy of the sky...

A Tryst of Faith is about a religious organization in its prime led by newly appointed director, Garrett. It is well-supported; a household name; with many willing volunteers helping it reach its goals. Garrett and his secretary, Elaine, develop a secret romantic relationship. Elaine’s housemates are uneasy and conflicted with the situation playing out in front of their home every evening after dusk. Elaine’s boyfriend, Ricky, is unceremoniously squeezed out of the picture. When the main housemate, Alicia, intervenes, Elaine and Garrett hatch a plan to destroy Alicia’s reputation, which includes confronting Alicia in a hostile takeover bid of the house. This is a fiction, but based on real events. Please support my campaign and get your copy plus many other perks: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-t...

I just released my new Christian Romance "Grace Alive" just last week. I really felt led by God to get this book published and into people's hands. I hope you guys check it out!

Blurp: Meet Zoe Reed. She is 26, unmarried, and still living with her parents. She works at a lame craft store, where she feels like her life has become one giant disappointment. She's waiting for Mr. Right, yet having never been on a date—let alone kissed a man—she wonders if he will ever come. When Branson Tate and his three kids stumble into her life, she finds the breathtaking man to be exactly opposite of what her parents want for her. He’s not a virgin, has a crazy past, and three children to prove it. Even still, the moment Branson asks her out for coffee, she hears God tell her to go, and her life begins to flip upside down.

Book Description
Publication Date: August 18, 2014
What's a soiled dove to do when she suddenly finds herself with child? Eighteen-year-old Gwyndolyn Klein certainly never envisioned her life coming to this when desperate measures landed her in Miss Sadie's bawdy house at the tender age of fourteen. Desperate for a fresh start and a quiet place to raise her daughter alone, she sets out with little more than the clothes on her back and her newfound faith in God. But when she meets handsome young Tucker Lawson, a conductor for the Underground Railroad, does she dare hope for a second chance?
As the mistress of a rather large southern plantation in Tennessee, Addie Frankford seems to have it all…except the one thing she wants the most—a child. Her husband, Cooper Frankford, seems determined to hold her at arm's length until a moment of weakness results in a child that could cost Addie her very life.
