Getting Creative

I hope all of you had an amazing week.

We have a lot of stuff in our house that we still need to get rid of. While going through things, I stumbled across my son’s old coloring book and crayons. He hated coloring. Even when I colored with him, he simply didn’t like it. The last time this book was used was probably 15+ years ago.

I opened the book and started coloring. I used to enjoy coloring pictures with my son. Coloring can be therapeutic. If you’re blocked while working on a story – a simple task like coloring might help to unlock your mind.

When my son was in kindergarten, the teacher said that coloring helped with the children’s coordination (with their hands.). I believe that coloring can help with mental coordination as well. I’ve noticed over the last decade that adult coloring books have exploded on the market.

Do you color to relax? If so, what do you color? Do you own an adult coloring book?

Paperback Book Bundles

Enjoy reading paperbacks? I’m offering a 30% off sale on my paperback book bundles: The Bakery Romance Series and my Christmas Romance bundle. The books are gift wrapped and come with stickers and other goodies.

The Blacksmith’s Bride

I’m still writing The Blacksmith’s Bride – a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith’s Bride is the third book in the Romance Bride Series.

The heroine in The Blacksmith’s Bride is named Francine. You might remember Francine from The Baker’s Bride. Francine was a secondary character and somewhat of a villain in that novel.

She was a socialite. Now, she’s lost her husband and all of her wealth and she’s struggling to make ends meet.

Can you imagine being raised in a wealthy household and never working one day in your life? Then, you lose everything, and you’re struggling to take care of yourself?

When she’s attacked, her plight gets even worse.

I’m enjoying writing The Blacksmith’s Bride as each character goes through an emotional journey of change and faith.

Next Week

I’m looking forward to next week! Our son will be home for spring break! Do you have any exciting plans on the horizon? If so, I’d love to hear about it!
