Publisher’s Weekly has reviewed the upcoming December release of the first book in my Amish of Hope’s Haven series and they like it! Check out what they had to say HERE 

HER AMISH WEDDING QUILT

An Amish seamstress and a single father have a chance to make a fresh start in this heartwarming first novel of a new series.

Spirited, forthright, impulsive — everyone told Greta Eicher she’d have to change her ways if she ever hoped to marry. Then her best friend Calvin, the man she thought she would wed, chooses another woman. Now Greta’s wondering if the others were right all along. Her dreams dashed, she pours her energy into crafting beautiful quilts at her shop and helping widower Noah Stoll care for his adorable young children.

Noah knows it’s time to think about finding a wife. When Greta offers to play matchmaker on his behalf, Noah eagerly accepts. After all, no one knows his children better. But none of the women she suggests seems quite right, because, unexpectedly, his feelings of respect and friendship for Greta have grown into something even deeper and richer. But will he have enough faith to overcome the pain of his past and give love another chance?

Also, I have a new boxed set out, just in time for holiday reading.

I’ve had three back-to-back deadlines this year, which has kept me in my office day after day, week after week, month after month, with ver-ry few days off.

But I’ve finished the last book, turned it in two days early, and I can breathe again.  YEE-HAW!  I’m free!!

After I finish a book, I always thoroughly clean my office. I mean THOROUGHLY!  It’s like I’m shedding the world I was living in for months, sweeping away all the ideas, notes, and research books I used, all in preparation for clearing my mind and office for the next book and the new world waiting for me.

My office is my home within my home.  I pretty much live in my office.  Just ask my husband.

Here it is, freshly dusted, vacuumed and polished.

   

And these are the books I just finished in that sparkling clean office!

Mark your calendars! Tule Publishing is having a Christmas party with tons of giveaways all day long on October 7th at the Tule Book Club on Facebook. If you are not already a member, it’s easy to join. 

Also, I have a new release. A Home for the Holidays is a sweet Christmas romance that kicks off my Holly, Idaho series. The next two books are Once Upon a Winter Wedding, and V is for Valentine. I’m very excited for the this series. 

Jason Regan is a man on the go. Excluding his high school years in Holly, Idaho, he’s never settled in one place. Building his engineering company requires a lot of travel, so when he returns to Holly to visit his aunt and pay a decade-old parking ticket, he’s not planning to stay for Christmas. The judge’s ruling changes that—he’s assigned community service at an animal shelter requiring his skills.

Former lawyer Tess Evans moved home to pursue her true calling—managing the Forever Home Animal Shelter. The shelter is chronically underfunded and understaffed. So, to raise money and awareness, she organizes a ‘Home for the Holidays’ adoption event at Holly’s Christmas festival. Getting a skilled volunteer at such a critical time is a gift and Tess takes full advantage. Their to-do list is long, and not falling in love is number one.

As their attraction grows, they keep forgetting Jason’s stay in Holly is temporary. Can Tess, a lonely terrier named Neville and some Christmas magic change his mind?

You all know the problem with writing a LONG book? It takes a WHILE to finish it! So I don’t have new release right now to share, but…y’all know I always have DOG PICTURES, right? LOL We are getting ready for fall around here, though I hate to see summer leave. I don’t dress my dogs up for Halloween, because they would hate it. BUT–I DO buy them a holiday collar to get them in the spirit and give them a jaunty look!

Here’s Sammy in his Halloween “candy corn” collar, looking very dignified!
Max is dapper in his jack o’lantern collar–makes him feel frisky!
After chasing squirrels in the backyard, it’s time for a rest! That is hard work (but fun!)

We are ready for fall here in Oklahoma City, but though the nights are cool, we still have some good warm days ahead of us. Just the kind of weather these two love! Happy fall, everyone!

Brand new series!

Cupids & Cowboys

Book 1

I’m thrilled and honored to launch this fun new series!  The babies from the Bachelors and Babies series are all grown-up!

Charlie McQuade couldn’t be prouder of his older sister, Harriett, for starting her own cattle herd and wanting her own ranch.  Her future is bright and promising…except for the one thing she doesn’t have. A husband.

When Harriett learns the shocking secret her family has kept from her since she was a baby, she’s thrown onto the brink of scandal. Worse, she must make the hardest decision of her life for a man she’s never met.

U.S. Marshal Cord Brennan must escort a prisoner to Kansas before he can settle down and care for his crippled father in Texas. But the outlaw in his guard is desperate, and Cord’s careful plans soon threaten to fall apart.

Charlie has his work cut out for him. Can he convince Harriett that Cord would make the perfect husband? Can he keep Cord from going back to Texas? Time is running out…

Book 2 in my Hanger’s Horsemen series is finished!

It is always such a relief and a feeling of accomplishment to get a book turned in. August 15 was the deadline for the second Horseman book – The Heart’s Charge. I’m pleased to report that it is in my editors’ hands. This book was challenging but so rewarding to write. I can’t wait to share it with you!

This is my longest book to date at just under 103,000 words. The editing process might change that number, but I usually stay pretty close to my initial word count. This needed to be a bigger book with 4 POV characters and 2 full love stories going on side-by-side.

There are still several layers of polishing to be done before it is ready for public consumption, but the largest chunk of work is done. Hooray!

I just learned that An Archer Family Christmas won the 2020 FHL Reader’s Choice Award for best novella. I’m thrilled! This story came about as a response to readers who clamored for more of the Archer Brothers series. I had so much fun reuniting the entire Archer clan and bringing an all-new adventure to their doorstep. My favorite part was meeting the next generation of Archers in the children who played a large role in the story. If you’re in the mood for some Christmas in July, grab a copy and enjoy!

I don’t have to remind you all these last few months have been trying on all of us, but I want to share some good news from my family. I have two grandsons who graduated, one from high school and one from college. Although neither got to walk the stage or have a senior prom. They are both okay with it, each for different reasons.

My middle grandson, Ty, graduated from high school, but all he wanted was to “graduate”, since he’d already enlisted in the Navy and will be leaving today for Chicago. Since he’s an Eagle Scout he was sworn in while a senior. When he’s finished with basic training, he’ll go to Connecticut for submarine training. I’m so proud of him for wanting to serve and protect our country.

Our oldest grandson, Alex, graduated from University of North Texas, and since he has a very good niche job, all he cared about was getting his diploma. Now here’s the exciting turn of events. His PawPa wasn’t able to walk the stage when he graduated college, since he was on his way to Vietnam. His mama got his diploma in the mail. Alex was in town on business last week and his diploma was mailed here. It arrived about ten minutes before he got to the house and his PawPa got to present him with it. It was a very special event for everyone.

I hope and pray we all get some relief from what is hanging over our heads, but these are just two of my family blessings that have come about during the pandemic. Blessings to all you all.

In some fun, non-writing related news, my daughter is expecting (my first grandbaby!!) and things opened up around here enough for us to give her a small, family-only baby shower. I haven’t been able to be as involved with her as much as I would have liked to during her pregnancy because of the quarantine so it was doubly fun for me to be able to celebrate with her this way.

But this was different. For one, she had to find ways to bring two young people in her home town of Independence together. Finding things to make that happen wasn’t easy. But with the help of her long time friends, Mercy, Martha, and Maude, she’d manage, wouldn’t she? After some trial and error, she wasn’t so sure. Worse, she noticed the young couple in her charge weren’t the only ones bereft of love. There were others. How was she going to manage to bring together so many lonely hearts? Find out in this sweet, clean romantic romp that only Kit Morgan can deliver!

How many of you are ready for summer? WE ARE! Here in Oklahoma, we’ve had a loooonnngg winter and it was wet. We broke some records for rainfall! The dogs were not happy, and neither was I, since they were so bored and sad about not being about to go outside! But all is well for the time being, with the last two days being in the high 80’s–just like Oklahoma should be at this time of year!

Here’s Sammy enjoying some poolside time alone! It’s not often he gets a few minutes to himself without Maxie!
Max wants to play, but Sammy has moved to the sunlight to soak up the rays.
The aggravating little brother will not be denied! He’s ready to play!
Ah! All’s well that ends well. Time to go find some water and rest a bit.

 

Hope this brightened your day a little! Though we’re stuck at home, we are sure enjoying the warm temperatures and good weather, and being able to get outside. How are you managing during this time of being isolated and staying home?

So this happened for my contemporary western romance with Tule Publishing.  Yee-Haw!

We ran a sale with Bookbub, and to hit #1 in a category (or even two categories), an author has to sell a lot of books in a short period of time to push her title to the number one slot. Amazon is just so massive, with so many categories, one never knows if it will happen.  The competition is incredible.  Even though the spike to number one usually doesn’t last for an extended period of time, that orange ribbon tends to stick around a bit, and ALOT of people will see it.  Even better, new readers are introduced to my work, resulting in a spike in my other titles, too.

 

Though no longer on sale, A COWBOY & A PROMISE is available on your favorite platform.

Last March, we adopted a “little brother”, Max, for our “Sweet Seminole Sammy” who’d been with us in August of 2018. I just felt Sammy was lonely and needed another dog (and Lord knows, I can never have too many dogs!) Hubby finally gave in, grudgingly, and in March, 2019, seven months after we’d adopted Sammy, my daughter Jessica and I made the hour-long drive to my hometown of Seminole, OK, to pick up Max–a puppy who, along with 5 siblings, had been dumped at the shelter entrance when they were only about a week to 10 days old back in the early part of January 2019.

Hubby worried about all kinds of things–would they get along? What would we do if they didn’t? But in my heart, I knew that Sammy was such a “love dog” he needed to be with one of his kind. Thankfully, I was right! Here’s the picture of their first meeting. At this point, Sammy had been with us about seven months, and was just a little over a year old by all guesses. He took Max right under his wing and has loved and protected him from their first meeting.

Look how little Max was! He was (by the shelter’s guess) close to 10 weeks old when we got him on March 11–approximately one year younger than Sammy. 

 

 

Here they are a few nights ago–how they’ve both grown over this past year! (Sorry about the lighting!)

 

 

Winter fun about 2 weeks ago–Max with snow on his nose (first time for both of them to go play in the snow) and Sammy with a snow mustache! 

These guys would be lost without each other now, and they’ve taken a permanent hold on our lives and hearts! Max’s “Gotcha Day” (the day we brought him home) is March 11–coming up–and we’re planning on a favorite treat that day–a vanilla ice cream cone for each of them to celebrate the happy occasion! (I’m going to have one, too, y’all. Shhh…)

Fun news – Harlequin is reissuing one of my older Love Inspired Historical titles, Second Chance Family in a brand new 2-in-1 volume!  And better yet, they’re pairing me up with a book by former filly Cheryl St.John!  The book is releasing this month on line and in many retail stores where Love Inspired books can be found.

 

SECOND CHANCE FAMILY

Mitch Hammond is a man of his word. And as far as Cora Beth Collins is concerned, that’s a problem. The stubborn sheriff has vowed never to love again, for fear of wounding someone else. The most he can offer Cora Beth is marriage in name only. And with no other way to adopt two runaway orphans and keep her patchwork family together, she accepts.

Mitch is doing the honorable thing. So why does it feel so wrong? Despite his intentions, Mitch is starting to want more from Cora Beth…and from himself. For in her trusting eyes he sees everything he hopes to be—as a lawman, a father and a husband.

A new release TOMORROW, March 3.

Woman of Sunlight, book #2 of the Brides of Hope Mountain series will ship from online stores and be in bookstores at last!

After years of isolation on top of Hope Mountain, Ilsa Nordegren may finally be ready to leave. Raised to fear the world, Ilsa and her sisters never planned on coming down, but when the Warden family arrived in need, they had to help. And it may cost them everything.

Having made his fortune, Mitch Warden returned home and found the family homestead abandoned. In a land grab, a ruthless cattle baron had forced his family to escape up the mountain, and when he follows, the last thing he expects is to fall smitten to a black-haired woman who dresses like Robin Hood.

Warden is intent on helping his family reclaim their land, but doesn’t realize the risks his past has brought. Dangerous men have tracked him, and rather than risk innocent lives, he’s determined to end the danger. But that means a journey to the city–and when Ilsa insists on joining him, the mismatched pair suddenly find themselves on a venture they’ll never forget.

Here’s my youngest as the King of the Underworld. Once again his ability to bring a quirky, incredible character to life amazed me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture of him in a shorter version of the cap with shorts riding a tricycle because it was in the middle of the show…

I have a new book out, just in time for Valentine’s.  The anthology is titled Mail Order Standoff.  If you like mail-order bride stories, then this one is for you. The stories all have a fun twist when the brides get cold feet. 

My story is titled Pistol Packin’ Bride: Attorney Wade Bronson didn’t expect to get shot on his wedding day–and certainly not by his mail order bride…

I have a new book out, too! It’s a sweet romance set in Montana with a single widower dad and his two adorable little girls. I had a blast writing Montana Dad.

 

A new start in Montana

…or new love?

Alex Ryan fled her career, her home and her family to start over in Montana. Somewhere her past can’t find her. Now her biggest danger is Nick Callahan, the gorgeous single dad—and cowboy—next door. Alex can’t let anyone get close to her or her heart. But this particular rancher might just give Alex the strength to stop running from her past…and see a future with him.

VALENTINE READS–OLDIES BUT GOODIES!

Who loves a great Valentine’s Day story? I DO! I love to read them and write them! If there is a more romantic time of year, I don’t know what it is—and it’s especially so for me, since my hubby and I got married on February 10, 1979, almost forty-one years ago! (I’m trying to come up with some different romantic ideas for us for our anniversary, and it’s tough after this long!) LOL

With flowers and candy at the top of the “romantic” list, I always indulge in a guilty pleasure or two and buy myself some VERY romantic stories to lose myself in at this time of year! I don’t have a new Valentine story out this year, but I’m working on one that’ll be ready for next Valentine’s Day, for sure. 

 

Here are a few “picks” for you if you’re looking for some romantic Valentine’s Day reading…

 

 

HEARTS AND SPURS is a short story collection that features nine sensual Valentine’s Day love tales of the old west that will leave no doubt—Cupid is a cowboy, and he’s playing for keeps! How do you capture a cowboy’s heart? HEARTS AND SPURS  includes stories by many of our P&P past and present “fillies”!

OPEN HEARTS by Tanya Hanson, THE WIDOW’S HEART by Linda Broday, COMING HOME by Tracy Garrett, TUMBLEWEEDS AND VALENTINES by Phyliss Miranda, FOUND HEARTS by Cheryl Pierson, THE SECOND-BEST RANGER IN TEXAS by Kathleen Rice Adams (WESTERN FICTIONEER PEACEMAKER AWARD WINNER!)

A HEART FOR A HEART by Cheryl Pierson is a contemporary Valentine’s Day novella you might enjoy… 

Kiera Leslie is all set to welcome Cory Tiger into her home as a foster child. Orphaned and with a learning disability, Cory is looking forward to living with his tutor. Until his uncle shows up…

Sam Tiger returns from military duty to find his deceased brother’s son being taken in by a stranger. The boy needs his family—and Sam is it. He never expects the tutor to stand up to him and want to keep Cory. Then the worst happens—he finds himself attracted to Kiera.

It’s Valentine’s Day, and Cupid’s got deadly aim!

HIDDEN TRAILS by Cheryl Pierson takes place right around Valentine’s Day in a blinding snowstorm. It was also a finalist in the WESTERN FICTIONEERS PEACEMAKER AWARDS a few years back for best western short fiction. 

 Levi Connor has never run from anything in his life, and he doesn’t intend to start now. After killing the two bandits who’d followed him into Indian Territory, he finds himself wounded and riding through a blinding February snowstorm. With no purpose ahead of him and no past to guide him, he discovers a reason to exist—the beautiful mixed-blood girl who takes him in and heals him.

Valentine Reneau lives in fear that her father will find her someday in the heart of Indian Territory and force her to return to Mississippi to take her mother’s place—in every way. She knows her time has run out when a stranger shows up on her land with two hired guns—and the devil in his plans.

With some unlikely help, Valentine must try to escape the slave’s fate that her mother left behind so many years before. Will Levi kill for a woman he barely knows? The chips are down, the guns blaze, and everything finally comes clear along these HIDDEN TRAILS…but who’ll be left alive?

What’s the most romantic story you ever read? There are soooooo many!  If anyone has a “novel” idea on something different and fun to do for Valentine’s Day, please share! I’m wracking my brain! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
