Dear friends, It may seem as if I’ve been AWOL from my website but, in fact, I’ve been having work done on it to get it updated. Thank you, Angie Hammond at Pixel Dust!!
The update is just in time to announce something unexpected and exciting: My most recent historical romance, Love’s Kindling, is a Finalist in the prestigious Selah Awards.
Unexpected because it took awhile to see Love’s Kindling published. It was rejected by more than one publisher and I began to think no one cared about the love story between my characters, Zadok and Aurinda. But I was wrong. The manuscript was published by Burnett Young publishing, has received excellent reviews (thank you reviewers!!), and is now an award finalist. All I can say is, praise the Lord!
Thank you to my publisher Meaghan Burnett, my author care rep Jessie Anderson, and my editor Alycia Morales. You encouraged me along the way and I am grateful.
Thanks to Eva Marie Everson and the judges who deemed it worthy of being a finalist. I am truly grateful.
Mostly I thank all of my readers who have followed my books through the years. I count you all as precious and pray I can continue bringing you stories worthy of your interest. May the Lord bless you.
