Happy Wednesday!

Hi!

It's a tad chilly, but the sun is shining here in north central Pennsylvania.

FROM MY WRITING DESK

Thanks for your prayers. The book I was working on for the anthology that releases in June is now with the editor. I had to request a two-week extension to get the edits done, and they were gracious enough to grant it.

I mentioned last week that I'll be at the Selinsgrove Gelnett Book Festival this coming Saturday, April 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you're in the area, I'd love it if you stopped by. 

I'll have lots of Christian fiction plus hardback copies of my children's books with me: There's a Goat on My Porch and Vicky's Pirate Adventure.

2026 Storyfest READER Registration is OPEN!

The American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) will hold our conference and the corresponding Storyfest in Memphis, Tennessee, at the end of August. 

I'll be doing a book signing at the bookstore again. There will be a pizza party for Storyfest, and you'll have the opportunity to chat with authors there.

I look forward to seeing those of you who can make it to the event.

Sadie's been on one of her famous hunger strikes. She does this a couple of times a year. We've been supplementing her diet with an occasional duck egg. This week she got some leftover ham from Resurrection Sunday dinner. Her tail was wagging something fierce as she ate that.

Speaking of the holiday dinner, our son and daughter-in-law came over with our grandchildren. My youngest grandson, Grey, helped me set up the incubator, so we can hatch some chicks. He got to mark all the eggs with X's and O's. The child is chicken obsessed, so I think it'll be fun for him to hatch his own.

We bought a new camera so we can film the goats more easily, but we haven't set it up yet.

I filmed the goats getting their morning sweet feed. Hope you enjoy it.

The beloved sheriff who protects everyone. A doctor determined to stay away.

When danger pulls Maho back to Shadow Cove, can Jaxon prove the island, and his heart, are worth trusting?

Dr. Maho Terrence has spent twelve years running from the ocean that took her parents—and the boy she left behind. She traded Shadow Cove Island for her dreams of being a gastroenterologist. Safe. Predictable. Fulfilling. Far from saltwater and old memories.

Until a merciless criminal delivers a chilling demand: Find the long-lost treasure of the La Fortuna shipwreck in seven days… or her grandmother and brother die.

Maho has no choice but to return and face the ocean, and the man she’s spent twelve years avoiding. Hunting clues to a treasure that has defeated centuries of seekers is hard enough. Facing Sheriff Jaxon Bradley? Impossible.

Sheriff Jaxon Bradley never forgot his “Pixie.” Now she’s back—brilliant, guarded, and clearly running from something. As the island’s devoted protector, Jaxon is used to chasing danger. He’s not used to being blindsided by the only woman who still owns his heart.

With time running out and a killer watching their every move, Maho and Jaxon must untangle centuries-old secrets before the Akuma makes good on his threat. But trusting Jaxon means more for Maho than risking her life. It means risking her heart.
