Happy Wednesday!

Hello there,

Hope you had a fantastic week!

The warm weather has officially arrived. We jumped from the 40s straight to the 90s! While some might complain about the heat, I'll take 90 degrees over 40 any day.

As always, if you have anything you'd like me to pray about, please reply and let me know. It's a privilege to lift you up in prayer.

 

FARM NEWS

The pastures have dried out enough after weeks of rain that we're finally letting the dogs get some exercise out there.

It's always fun watching the birds this time of year. The barn swallows hatched some little ones, and wild birds have been bringing their babies to the feeders.

In other farm news: we have a duck who keeps getting stuck in a bucket, and we've been coaxing our turkey out of the coop each morning so he can find shade for the day.

Not much else is new. The goats, sheep, and livestock guardian dog are taking it easy in the heat. They'll be happy when temperatures drop back to 70 on Friday.

 

FROM MY WRITING DESK

As you know, Project Sentinel released last week and is holding steady in the Christian suspense charts—thank you for your support!

I also released Persuaded by the Hero in audiobook format on YouTube. Emily Norman and Nick Flesher did their usual fantastic job, and I'm sure you'll love their narration. If you prefer other platforms, it's already available on Kobo and coming to Audible soon. You can also buy it direct from me, delivered through BookFunnel's app.

 
 

ROBIN PATCHEN

I've read most of this series (currently on book five) and absolutely love it. Robin Patchen delivers exactly what I want: authentic faith, compelling romance, and genuine suspense that keeps me turning pages. I wholeheartedly recommend this series and can't wait to read this latest installment.

In a town shrouded by secrets, a photographer and the reclusive heir of the Ballentine fortune join forces to unravel a deadly conspiracy.

Brooklynn Wright must win a photography contest to save her gallery, and the perfect sunrise shot at a remote inlet north of town is her best hope. But when she witnesses a smuggling operation at a hidden dock and is chased by armed men, her dreams of artistic glory become a nightmare flight for survival.

Rescued by a mysterious stranger, Brooklynn is forced to take refuge with him in an abandoned mansion the townspeople claim is cursed—afraid to trust her grumpy protector but with no other choice.

Billionaire Forbes Ballentine returned to Shadow Cove for answers, not distractions. Haunted by the unsolved murder of his family twenty years ago, he’s spent his life in the shadows, hunting for the truth. He believes the network Brooklynn stumbled upon is tied to his family’s deaths, but protecting the cheerful photographer means jeopardizing the investigation he’s been chasing for decades. Especially when her presence stirs feelings he’s not prepared to face.

As Brooklynn and Forbes grow closer, so do the network’s ruthless enforcers. With everyone in town hiding something, they must navigate lies, betrayal, and deadly truths. When the network closes in, they’ll have to trust each other completely—or lose everything.

Dive into this gripping romantic suspense full of mystery, secrets, and danger, where two broken souls must uncover the truth while battling the enemies outside—and the wounds within.

Injured and afraid—with no recollection of who she is—she stumbles through the Texas Hill Country with a photo labeled Claire. Seeking safety, she knocks at Alex’s cabin door.

He protects her, even though she stirs up memories that haunt him.

She wants her life back. He wants to ease his guilt and will protect her even if it means risking his own life.

Together they search, hoping questions will be answered by finding Claire.

WHAT I'M READING

This is a historical romance with a salvation story. I had a hard time putting it down.

Lady Hathwell comes to the US to meet a marriage prospect, but upon finding out he plans to keep his paramour, she leaves hoping to find a place on her uncle's farm. Only problem is women aren't welcome there, so she plays the part of a young man, and learns that wearing britches isn't all it's cracked up to be.

 

This is an insta-love romantic suspense story between a security agent and the niece of his colleague. 

The two both have tragic histories that make them less than excited to pursue new romance, but they're thrown together in an action packed plot, so they can't help falling in love.
