Happy Wednesday!

Hi!,

Hope you had a fantastic week. We got over an inch of much needed rain last night, so we can finally breathe easier knowing the well won't run dry.

Let me know if you have a prayer request. I consider it a privilege to pray for you and with you.

FARM NEWS

It's been a busy week here on the farm. 

Sadie got herself in a tangle with a porcupine, so we needed to take her to get the quills removed. She had to take pain pills for a few days and she's still on an antibiotic, but she's doing better now. She's been scratching a lot though, so yesterday Farmer Joe gave her a bath which seems to have helped.

Speaking of Farmer Joe, he went and picked up hay to get us through the winter, so we unloaded that into the barn (picture above). It practically climbs to the ceiling! Joe does most of the work. I just move the bales to where he can grab them easier. 

A mysterious puddle of blood appeared on the shelf above the water spout in the barn. We never did figure out who was bleeding, but the best guess is the older of the two roosters. He sleeps near where the blood was. Could've been one of the goats that like to lie up there, but I think we would've been able to spot some blood on them if that was the case.  

Hopefully, this coming week will be less eventful.

FROM MY WRITING DESK

I've finished writing Clearing the Cowboy's Name and will send it off to the editor shortly. I still have quite a bit of work to do on Midnight Masquerade, which might seem backwards since it releases a couple weeks earlier. But since Clearing is part of a multi-author series, I wanted to make sure the other authors have enough time to read it and make any suggested changes to scenes where their characters are mentioned.

I'd love prayer for a few incredibly productive days to help me complete Midnight Masquerade in time.

Speaking of my books, I’ve had titles hit #1 in my categories plenty of times, and that’s always exciting, but this feels different. For the first time ever, one of my books, Wooing the Widower, has climbed into the top ten in the Kindle Store overall. Right now, it’s sitting at #6 in the Kindle Free Store!

To put that in perspective, Amazon has somewhere between 10 and 20 million books available on Kindle. I don’t know how many of those are free—let’s say around 100,000 (though it’s probably a lot more than that). Somehow, in just a few days, this little book has risen to #6 out of all of them. Not in a niche Christian fiction category—but the entire Amazon store.

If you haven't grabbed it yet, get your copy today before it goes back to regular price tomorrow.

FREE BOOK!

Margie, a successful Colorado realtor, finds herself looking for a change of scenery and a dash of adventure after her only daughter embarks on a missionary journey, so she heads to Redemption Ranch to fulfill a long-held dream: learning to ride horses.

Meanwhile, Chaz, having swapped his tailored suits and executive boardrooms for the 'aromatic' allure of horse manure, relishes his new life at Redemption Ranch. The retired businessman and former CEO of Freedom Mountaineering now assists his brother on the ranch, his days filled with hard work, peaceful solitude, and bittersweet memories.

When Margie arrives at Redemption Ranch, their lives intersect in the most unexpected ways. Amid horse rides and starlit conversations, they discover companionship and the tender buds of love in their twilight years.

As Margie explores this unexpected turn, will she find a love she hadn't planned for? And can Chaz see Margie as a vibrant woman with shared passions and dreams rather than simply his son's mother-in-law?

LIWEN Y. HO

After a lifetime of unspoken love, is it ever too late for a second chance?

Trevor Kelly has built a good life—his beloved restaurant, his close-knit family, and the unwavering support of his late wife’s best friend, Lottie. She’s always been there, the steady presence through grief, joy, and everything in between. But when Lottie announces she’s leaving town, Trevor is blindsided. The thought of not having her around makes him question what place she really holds in his heart.

Will these two lifelong friends learn to trust each other and discover that love is possible at any age?
