Thanks to a special sale from my publisher, Winning the Mail Order Bride sat at the #1 spot on Amazon’s American Historical Romance Books
list for over a week. Thank you so much to everyone who purchased a copy in
order to make this happen. It’s still on sale, but I don’t know for how much
longer. It is always exciting to see that red best seller tag. This is one of the book in the Mail Order Brides of Oak Grove series, which will always be one of my favorite series. I enjoy writing stores set in various historical eras, but westerns will forever be my favorite.
This week is the release for my 50th book from Harlequin. The Making of His Marchioness comes out on January 24th. Each and every book has been a journey that I’ve cherished, and owe so much credit to my amazing editor. Her insight and support have been invaluable.
The blurb for this book:
She trusted him with her life…
But what about her heart?
After the American Civil War propels widow Clara and her daughter to
England, they’re given refuge by the enigmatic Marquess of Clairmount.
Being the damsel in distress doesn’t come easy to independent Clara, so
after finding his estate in disarray, she seizes her chance to help him.
As she plays the role of marchioness, her attraction to the guarded
marquess is bittersweet, as this Cinderella knows she doesn’t belong in
his aristocratic world…
The Making of His Marchioness is the second book in the Southern Belles in London series. The third book, Falling for his Pretend Countess will be released in April.
A Christmas story set during the Gilded Era, The Railroad Baron’s Mistletoe Bride will be released later this year, and I’m currently working on another Victorian Era story in which the hero is a cowboy from Montana.
Things have been busy here at home. The holidays were wonderful, as were the three family birthdays that are tucked in December and January. We’ve also had snow, snow, and snow. It seems as if every day has included shoveling, using the snow blower, and plowing. We’ve also been replacing windows in our house. One was defected and the new one arrived the first part of January, so yes, that’s when it was replaced. They are all in now, and the new trim and window sills are all stained.
With the snow so deep, we’ve been putting out feed for the
wild critters. Our
youngest granddaughter loves seeing the birds, deer, and
other critters, including the wild turkeys that found their way onto the patio.
Sending blessings for a wonderful 2023 to all of you!
