Bio:
Award-winning author, Pamela S. Thibodeaux is the Co-Founder and a lifetime
member of Bayou Writers Group in Lake
Charles , Louisiana
Welcome back, Pamela.
What are some of the spiritual themes you like to write about?
Most of my stories revolve around forgiveness and second
chances.
What other books of
yours are coming out soon?
I don’t have another new release scheduled as of yet,
however the audio version of my Indy title, Tempered
Hearts, is now in production and hopefully will be out this year.
If you could spend an
evening with one contemporary person (not a family member of yours), who would
it be and why?
Nora Roberts. She is my favorite author and I’d love to sit
and converse with her about life in general, friendships in specific, and what
it takes to become as prolific an author as she. I know “hard work” would be
the first answer but I’d like to go deeper.
What historical
person would you like to meet (besides Jesus) and why?
I’m not much of a history buff so I hadn’t thought about who
I’d like to meet besides Jesus. Joan of Arc maybe and see how she knew her calling
beyond a shadow of doubt.
How can you encourage
authors who have been receiving only rejections from publishers?
Don’t give up! Submit, implement feedback, re-submit or
submit elsewhere. Writing is a talent and gift from God. Don’t bury your talent
or hide your gift. Someone, somewhere wants, needs, to read what you write!
Tell us about the
featured book.
For quite some time I wanted to put together a collection of
short stories that centered around the 4 seasons and 4 holidays that focus on
love and family (Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). Since I
already had several stories at Pelican Book Group, I mentioned this idea to my
editor, the amazing Nicola Martinez, and she loved it. I submitted two
previously unpublished stories to round out the collection, along with those PBG
had already published, and viola! Love in Season was born.
Blurb: Anytime is
the perfect time for love.
In this anthology, author Pamela S Thibodeaux brings
together eight of her most beloved romance stories—one for each season plus
four holidays that revolve around love and family.
Includes two brand new stories!

Winter Madness
They met on a cold winter morning in a cozy coffee shop. Not
just the tinkle of the bell above the door announced his arrival, but also the
quickening of her heart, the slow thud of blood through her veins, the sharp
curl of need in the pit of her stomach. Even before she saw him, she knew the
minute he’d walked in. A dream from her past.
He turned; their eyes met.
William’s eyes widened and his breath caught. There she sat
all soft and glowing. A ghost from his past.
He hesitated, blew a soft rush of air to cool the steaming brew he’d
just purchased. A sigh escaped followed by a resigned shrug. There’s no way out
of the meeting now. Only a few steps separated them physically, miles
emotionally. One hurdle at a time, he thought, and joined her at the table for
two beside the window.
“Good morning,” she breathed up at him, every year of
distance, every minute of longing reflected in her voice–as though she’d waited
for him all along, just as she promised so long ago, and again not so long ago.
William scowled. “Snow everywhere, slush beneath, what’s so
good about it?”
Sienna sighed, “There’s nothing quite as lovely as the first
snow of the season.”
He frowned. “Lovely? Tell me, what do you find so lovely
about the cold and dampness that comes with the first snow of the season?”
She smiled, and his heart skipped a thud.
“Always reminds me of what the Bible says about our
salvation, and that the Blood of Jesus cleanses us as pure and as white as snow
and offers us a chance for new life.”
