I hope all of you had an amazing week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Spring Break and our son is home for a week-long visit. I have a lot of stuff that needs to be done around this messy house! He’s going to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have anything amazing planned for this week? I’d love to hear about it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blacksmith’s Bride<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still writing The Blacksmith’s Bride<\/a> \u2013 a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith’s Bride is the third book in the Romance Bride Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the secondary characters in my novel is mute. It’s a young child. She can hear, but, she can’t speak. Actually, she won’t speak. She witnessed something. Since she’s seen this awful event – she has not spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In historical times, psychological problems were difficult to diagnose and treat. I’m researching this subject matter as I work on my novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever been acquainted with someone who is\/was mute?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m enjoying writing The Blacksmith’s Bride<\/a> as each character goes through an emotional journey of change and faith. Be sure to pre-order<\/a> a copy for yourself and a friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paperback Book Bundles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently have one in-person event – scheduled for June 28th. More information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Country!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to keep our country in prayer as all\/some of these changes take place! At times, transitions do not run smoothly! Also, remember to pray for all that are suffering in our nation! Be sure to check on your friends and loved ones to be sure they are okay! One of our family members recently had surgery – so it’s been a busy week for us as we’ve helped her during this time for recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
