Big News: Book Trailer for Secrets to the Wind
You’re the first to know about my book trailer! I’m so excited because this is a brand-new type of media for me and it was really fun making it with my webmaster.
Enjoy it and, if you know someone who loves historical fiction, please share!
(Psst! Scroll to the bottom for last-minute Big News about special pricing, too.)
Coming Soon

I’m keeping it short today because I’ve been hard at work on a new story, too. Remember my dismay when I discovered that Vanessa Lind’s book cover used the same image featured on Secrets to the Wind? Well, she did agree to collaborate with me on a short story about two women who encounter each other wearing the same dress.
Sneak Peek: Set in Leavenworth, Kansas during the Civil War, this story features a cameo appearance by a spy! Plus plenty of Victorian Christmas embellishments to satisfy your delight in the past. Look for it here next month.
Bonus Post for Thanksgiving
This mailing usually comes out the first week of each month. However, I couldn’t resist giving you a “taste” of how the U.S. celebrated Thanksgiving during the Civil War. Watch your inbox during the last week in November for this special treat.
Special pricing & avid readers
I’m still learning the ropes of doing business online. (My messy desk pictured below is an outward sign of brain cells desperately trying to sort things out.) So forgive me for raising the ebook price without warning yesterday to $4.99. But keep reading, because there’s a flip side to that…a special holiday price of $8.99 (savings of $8) on the paperback available on Amazon.
Workaround on the ebook for loyal readers:
Bu using promotion 1 or 2 below, you can still get the ebook for free if you’re enrolled in Kindle Unlimited (KU) or are willing to leave a review. This is a special just for my newsletter and blog readers.
Book Nerds, you also will find plenty of delightful offers on the promotions below. Each link represents a whole collection of books!
- New historical romance, on sale and in KU
- Pick a free ebook to leave a review
- Historical fiction/women’s fiction
True confession

Here’s how my desk looks when I get really busy. (Can you guess my favorite color?) To the right, in the purple folders, are Books Two and Three in my series. My NEW desk, coming next week, will have more file drawers. Now if I can just get organized enough to put things in the drawers….
How do you cope with piles of paper and files? I would seriously like your tips on that subject in the comments below. Check in next time to see my new arrangement!
