Some books almost write themselves. The story and the characters come to mind with little difficulty. Words seem to pour onto the page in the right order. There’s a kinship a writer feels with every part of the creation. You were meant to be together!
Unwrapping Hope was not one of those books.
It started with no trouble. I set out to write a Christmas novella, and the idea for the Widow’s Might series was born. A book title came to me and, when I saw a certain photo online, so did little Maura and her desire. I envisioned Phoebe receiving a gift by mistake, and her backstory popped out. All that was easy.
Things proved more difficult with Spence. Oh, that man gave me a merry chase. I couldn’t pin down his story. I wanted him to go one way, and he wanted to go another. Finally, after a lot of prayer, we met in the middle where all good compromises lie.
I think Unwrapping Hope came together well in the end. Look for Enduring Dreams in 2020, the first novel in the Widow’s Might series. Will Claire Kingsley finally realize her dream?
To keep more of my historical romances coming, I could use your help with any of the following simple, but critical, activities:
Leave an online review with a retailer who sells the book and/or on Goodreads. Your recommendation is important to potential readers. A sentence or two of your honest opinion on the book’s retailer page is all it takes.
Tell your reading friends about the book—in-person or online. A word from you can go a long way in convincing others to read it.
Don’t miss receiving upcoming releases and special offers. Sign up for the Love and Faith in Fiction newsletter. I’d love having you in the community!
Thanks for your support and for reading my books.
