COVER REVEAL!!!!

MY NEW WESTERN

CREEK

Mysterious gunslinger, Creek, only has one name and many secrets.

What is his real name? Who is his mother?

Also why is an eleven-year-old girl saying he’s her father? He’s never seen her before.

I don’t have a link yet or a firm release date. I just know it’s in March and it’s a sweet romance.

Stay tune for more!

Grady Walsh lost his heart to the sweet girl the day she gave him a quilt. Now, as a well-liked and respected tradesman in Harmony, can he make up for the reckless actions of his youth?
Or will another steal her away before they have a chance to discover a kind of love that might heal the pain from the past?
I have been waiting months to announce this and today it became official…We have a new grandson!!! Nicolas Robert has officially become a member of our family.  After waiting for nearly two years, my daughter adopted this sweet boy. He is inquisitive, smart, and loves the camera. Here’s Nico!!!!…

My 11th annual Read A Book, Help A Cowboy campaign is in full swing.

Now through Christmas Eve, I will donate 10 percent of the net proceeds from ANY book purchased (includes digital, paperback, hardback, and audio!) to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.

If you are unfamiliar with JCCF, it is a non-profit organization that assists rodeo athletes who’ve sustained catastrophic injuries and are unable to work for an extended period. Every book purchased during this promotional period adds to the donation total. Don’t forget to include books on your Christmas lists! You can find out more about the JCCF on their website: Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. Visit my website for more info about the Read A Book, Help A Cowboy campaign. Your support is appreciated more than you know!

Speaking of cowboys, it’s time for my 11th annual Cowboys & Christmas Celebration!

The fun begins at 10 a.m. (Pacific Time) on November 14! The day will be filled with giveaways, games, guest authors, books, and fun as we raise funds and awareness for the JCCF! I hope to see you there! Join us on Facebook in the Wholesome Hearts Events group.

I have a brand new wholesome and heartwarming series coming just in time for Christmas! The Hudson House Holiday series includes four books that spans several generations. The first book, A Christmas Dream, is set in 1892, and the last book is a modern day setting. You are getting a special first look at the covers today!

A Christmas Dream releases November 14, and you can preorder your copy now!

He came to build the house of his dreams, but found a home for his heart.

After an extensive search for the ideal location to build a house he’s spent years designing, Brant Hudson knows he’s found the perfect site the moment he sets foot on the land near Silver Bluff, Oregon. However, frustrating delays leave him laboring alongside the very crew he hired to finish the house in time for Christmas. His work leads the woman who catches his eye to believe he’s a carpenter rather than the owner of the grand manor.

Holland Drake grew up on a farm, but she aspires to secure a position as a housemaid at Hudson House. While delivering lunch to her brother at the worksite, the door opens to a job when Holland encounters a strikingly handsome carpenter whose charm captivates her. Soon, Holland discovers the enchanting man is none other than the owner of the house and her new employer.

As the holiday season arrives amid a flurry of excitement and possibilities, Holland and Brant face choices that could change their lives forever. Will fear hold them back from stepping into the future together, or will their Christmas dreams of love come true?

There’s one more bit of news too! I’ve got a brand new Christmas story releasing.

Will hope, love, and peace make it’s way to the western frontier this year and help someone in desperate need of the spirit of Christmas?

Edith Clarkson is determined to bring Christmas joy to others—no matter that her own heart is aching. When her boss—someone she considered a friend—humiliates her, she decides it’s silly, but she’ll send a letter to Santa for help. After all, if a Christmas wish were to come true, wouldn’t it be from him?

George Alcott didn’t mean to bring his best friend to tears. It had been a trying week—one full of people taking advantage of him. Often tongue tied around Edith, the things he wants to say always come out wrong. Though George wants to make amends, he doesn’t know how. Like always.

As Christmas draws closer, a mysterious letter writer—posing as Santa—helps Edith’s wishes come true. She learns there is still not only hope, but also kindness offered by strangers. But when Edith reveals her greatest wish of all, and the letter writer is unmasked, will things ever be the same again?

Trick or Treat with P&P

Game Day!

Let’s go trick-or-treating for cowboy goodies!

Who says dress-up is just for kids? Costumes are fun for adults, too, and here at P&P, they are especially fun if they have a western flair.

Here are some blasts from the Fillies’ pasts:

Karen Witemeyer’s son Wyatt dressed up as a famous Texas Ranger known for his solitary ways. And our dear Shanna Hatfield from her college days dressed as a feisty cowgirl.

Gotta love seeing Linda Broday and Mary Connealy in their western getups.

Travel back to the summer of 1969 for the NebraskaLand Days Parade.  Pam Crooks’s two brothers helped her dad build a telephone float and are dressed as Wyatt Earp and an Indian in front of a make-believe campfire.

And here’s Karen Kay in front of her friend’s teepee.

Now it’s your turn!

If you were to dress up like your favorite cowboy/cowgirl (real or fictional), who would you dress up as? 

Leave a comment with your answer, and you will be entered to win one of two fabulous trick or treat packages.

It’s Yee-Haw Day!

Welcome to Yee-Haw Day, the once-a-month day we’ve reserved to share our news with you – all sorts of fun news!

I’m a little late with my announcement, but I have a new Love Inspired Suspense release. DEADLY SECRETS is now available, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I love this story of rookie Deputy Sheriff Elena Tomes and rancher Ridge Burnham who team up to solve his late father’s cold case homicide. Of course, they wind up both in danger and in love!

EXCITING UPDATE:  I just learned that Deadly Secrets made the Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller List. Whoo, hoo! Really something to Yee-haw about 🙂

WILDWOOD HEALER will release tomorrow, Oct. 8th!

Secrets, lies, and danger hide deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas during the Depression of 1930.

Sicily Rossi is a healer in the truest sense but wonders how one heals dark hatred. She knows the healing power of plants and taps into nature’s remedies. Changing deep-set ways requires more than simple concoctions. Nature can’t remove the rage from a vicious wife-beater, but somehow, Sicily must save the young girl from a horrible fate and/or a life of torment.

An orphan teen and dog that Sicily finds living in the woods fills her loneliness and, as she teaches him the natural healing power of plants, they fight to help the girl along with the town’s starving residents. Together, they come up with a plan to feed them all and perhaps be a catalyst for change.

Yet, will their efforts be enough to save them all from a man bent on destruction?
