Forgiveness, fear, and love
What other books of
yours are coming out soon?
My next title is, Taming
The Texas Rancher. It comes out in October 2013. This book is Hannah’s
story from The Marshal’s Promise.
I’m going to book the
October book on my blog right now. If you could spend an evening with one contemporary
person (not a family member of yours), who would it be and why?
Joyce Meyers… Her teachings have taught me so much and I’d
love to just sit and visit with her. I
believe she is a mighty woman of God.
What historical
person would you like to meet (besides Jesus) and why?
Wow! There are so many, I would like to meet I would love to
meet David, he was a man after God’s own heart… that is all the reason I need J
How can you encourage
authors who have been receiving only rejections from publishers?
That’s a
hard one Lena , because I’ve been there. I
would tell them to keep on pressing on. Even after you are published,
rejections will come but if you keep submitting, God will place your book in
the right hands.
Tell us about the
featured book.
Groom by Arrangement is Eliza Kelly’s story. She was in The Marshal’s Promise. I love Eliza
because she’s a lot like me. It’s also Jackson Hart’s story. He is a handsome
blacksmith with a desire to find family and home. This is their story, it is
filled with heartbreak and laughter. I hope the readers will enjoy it.
Please give us the
first page of the book.

Spring 1886
Eliza Kelly’s worse fear had just been confirmed.
She couldn’t believe she was standing on the train platform
waiting for a mail-order groom. One she hadn’t ordered!
With shaking fingers Eliza opened the envelope and pulled
out the slip of paper inside. Once more, her eyes scanned the letter that
explained how her best friend, Hannah Young had ordered the expected groom.
My Dear Friend Eliza,
I know this will come as a shock to you but I have been writing as you,
to a Mr. Miles Thatcher. He posted a mail-order bride ad in the same newspaper
as my own prospective groom, Mr. Westland. After reading his ad, I answered as
you.
Eliza, I think you will like Mr. Thatcher. He will be
arriving on the two o’clock train this afternoon.
Before you close your mind to the possibility of being a mail-order bride, know
that I’ve prayed about this and feel I did the right thing in answering Mr.
Thatcher’s advertisement. Granted I should have told you. For not doing so, I
apologize now.
After you read his letters, you can decide if he is a man
that you will enjoy
spending the rest of your life with. If you decide to send him away, I promise
to never do this again.
I’ll write once I get to Granite, Texas
Sincerely,
Your friend,
Hannah
