I hope all of you are doing well! I was so happy that I just had to send you a quick note to share my joy! Today, my author copies arrived for The Underground Railroad Brides Collection!

This is the first time that I’ve had a historical novella published. As a matter of fact, this is the first historical that I’ve ever written! I can honestly say that this is probably my strongest, most emotional piece of fiction.

Several years ago, an author friend of mine, Debby Lee, approached me about doing this collection. We brought on some other authors but initially, we were not offered a contract for our stories. I suppose the timing was not right. We waited a few years (well, more than a few) and decided to try again. We were pleased when we were offered a contract. It just feels so good to hold this book in my hands!

Ramona Cecil, another author in this collection, helped me with research. She knows a lot about history and her knowledge was helpful when I had specific questions.

You can read the first part of chapter one for The Bakery Bride here.

I hope all of you have a blessed weekend! Don’t be a stranger – follow me on Facebook! If you have any questions about writing then send me an email!

God bless and have a great week!
