Book Review for Tracie Peterson’s Destined for You

Having read several books by Tracie Peterson, I’ve found that sometimes I really like her books, and other times I put the book down feeling not so happy about how it turned out. Regardless, I do appreciate the solid faith embedded in each Tracie’s books, and often during the story, I think, “Aha! That character made a really good point right there!”

The latest book I’ve read by Tracie is Destined for You. That title has such a ring, doesn’t it?

I’m Trying Something New

While the next book is smoothly underway (and making it hard for me to accomplish anything else!), I have another little project that I’m working on to share with my newsletter subscribers. The next book’s publication date seems a long way off, so after doing some thinking, I decided to write a short story! This will give me a chance to share a taste of the Home to Osceola series with my readers even sooner.

Not All of Life is Clear-Cut

Have You Been Wondering When the Next Book Is Coming?

I have.

Ever since finishing Settle My Heart, people have been asking me, “So how close are you on the next book?”

Some people have gotten the answer, “It’s done!” Others, “Well, hopefully soon.” And still more, “Um, it’s complicated.”

Stories And Music And Dates . . .

I love stories. I suppose that’s why I’ve become rather obsessed with dates in the last year–historical dates, that is (no, actual dating has nothing to do with this). Writing novels set in the 1800s keeps me ever on the lookout for a new fact that could change my characters lives, or at least add a little depth to them. So, I flip open book covers to see what year they were published in, I look up names to see when they first came into popular use, and I search to see what songs were popular when. You never know where you will find new inspiration for a story.

Book Review for Tasha Hackett’s Bluebird on the Prairie

Today I want to introduce you to the book Bluebird on the Prairie by Tasha Hackett. I’ve known Tasha for a while, and usually we run into each other at events where we are each promoting our books. Also, as a matter of fact, we both live in Stromsburg, so I’ve had people ask me before if there is something in the air or the water that creates authors. I can’t claim to have done any testing, but I rather doubt that’s the case. I guess both of us just discovered something good.
