There are some fun historical romance suggestions in this newsletter.
But I want to give you an update from me first!
In the last newsletter I mentioned something exciting I'm working on that is Bedford series related. Well, here it is: by the end of August, Becoming Anne Whitlow will have a quiet time guide and group discussion questions available on my website.
Henry and Anne go through a lot of growing and stretching in a hard season, and I think it is worth delving into processing how the Lord moves in the lives of these fictional characters because it's how he moves in our real lives too. I wrote their stories in ways I've seen the Lord move in my life, and I've read about Him doing in the Bible. I want to pull back the curtain into some of what I was reflecting on as I wrote their stories.
So, if you haven't yet, download Becoming Anne Whitlow and ask a friend or two to read it with you this fall, because I'm giving you some resources to have some fun book discussions with. I'm excited and hope that it's something that you can really enjoy! I'm already praying about how the Lord can use it!
Now, let's get on to those book features!
GUEST AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
Clean and Wholesome Western Romance
Marriage was never her plan until her inheritance depended on it. He just wants a family to call his own. Can they find a happy ever after even with such different backgrounds?
Susan Hanson’s life is anything but normal. When her eccentric uncle leaves her a fortune but tells her she must marry to inherit it, she looks at her options and hates the idea of choosing one of the stuffy men of her acquaintance. Especially since the only thing they would want her for is her money. If marriage is what it takes to get her fortune, Susan is determined to do it her own way.
Michael Clark has always wanted someone to call his own. First his parents, then his uncle and cousin die, leaving him without a solid place in the world. He’s welcomed by the good people of Birch Creek in the Idaho Territory, but he wants a family. Since women are hard to come by, he does the most logical thing he can. He orders a bride from New York.
When Susan decides to answer Michael’s advertisement, figuring it’s a better choice all around than what’s in New York for her, she’s certain it’s for the best. The first moment they meet, Michael and Susan know marriage is the next step but with her oddities, and his old fashioned views, can the two of them actually build a life together?

To Colin's surprise, he discovers Mariah shares his fondness for dogs. But when he discovers it was all a lie, Colin decides to get even.
Lady Mariah Thornbeck has loved Colin for years, but no matter what she does to try to draw his attention, he steadfastly ignores her. When she mistakenly deceives him, Mariah decides to go along with the misunderstanding. After all, he had finally paid her particular attention. She devises a plan which will ultimately earn his affections-she hopes.
When Colin's revenge backfires, they are forced to spend more time together. Colin realizes that Lady Mariah is not the deceitful woman he presumed her to be. Beneath her charming facade lies a woman of wit, kindness, and unwavering devotion. And as their connection deepens, Colin finds himself questioning the very core of his beliefs.
Mariah’s journey of self-discovery leaves her questioning if she is truly the right woman for Colin, while Colin must decide if Mariah is worth giving up his cherished bachelorhood. Do they dare take a chance on a lifetime of happiness, or will the worn path they know win out in the end?
