Recently Google gave authors a chance to make their books into an audio book.  Now, I admit the reader is an AI, and they had various different ones.

But, I’ve just discovered that different and various words are not pronounced correctly…as well as other additives or problems.  And so I’ve reduced the price on the audio books from $14.95 to $7.95…about half price.

These audio books are the full book — about 10 hours.  Don’t know about you, but, I love audio books and so if you love to listen to the books, here is a good opportunity.  I have six of these audio books up and available at Google and I’ve attach a link to the audio book.  Again, there are errors in pronouncing words and some cyber gibberish in the beginning of the book.  And, so here are about 60 hours of audio books reduced to half price.

I have some fun personal news to share…

First, my oldest son proposed to his wonderful girlfriend, Kimberlea, and she said yes! Not only is Kim terrific, but she’s fit right in like family since Alex first introduced us. I’m doubly excited because to add another gal to the family. Dealing with the testosterone of four guys alone, can be daunting sometimes. 🙂

My youngest just finished a run as Perch Perkins in the Sponge Bob Musical. The production was fabulous. The cast was Broadway ready. I keep saying if I had enough money, I’d be the producer and send them on tour. If you haven’t seen the musical, it has wonderful messages about friendship, acceptance, and everyone having something to offer. In addition, the music is toe-tapping, and in the end you’ll feel uplifted.

 

 

Lastly, our foster dog Dez, found his forever home. We’d had Dez over a year. He is a fantastic dog–loving, playful, and loyal, but he couldn’t find the right family.

I’m excited to share that the digital version of my June Love Inspired Suspense release, WILDFIRE THREAT, is on sale for the month of September across most platforms (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.) for the smoking price (pun intended) of $1.99. If you haven’t read any of my books yet, I recommend this one. The story is filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and heart touching family drama.

I’m thrilled to share that my novella A Texas Christmas Carol has been named a finalist in two prestigious contests – The ACFW Carol Award and the Holt Medallion.

This novella first appeared in my Under the Texas Mistletoe collection. However, it’s getting its own cover for it’s individual e-single release in September. They wanted to keep with the classic literature look. It’s completely different from any of my other other covers, but I like the throwback style.

Talulla

A Sweet Historical Western Romance

Ten-year-old Talulla watched in horror as her beloved brother fell through the ice while trying to save her. Thanks to the quick actions of Max, her brother’s closest friend, she survived. Her brother didn’t. When she overhears Max and her father discussing that she’s to blame, Talulla feels betrayed by those she thought she could most trust. A boarding school becomes her refuge, and she never looked back. Until now.

Widowed father Max is traveling home with his young daughter. Unfortunately, a bad case of travel sickness overtakes the little girl, and Max turns to the conductor for help. When the man finds a passenger willing to share her Pullman section, Max is relieved—until he discovers their benefactor is Talulla, a woman whose last words to Max were an impassioned I hate you.

Can these two find a way to push past their mutual distrust to regain the friendship they once shared. And perhaps something more…

Sometimes it’s fun to try new things.

I decided to try publishing through Kindle Vella. If you are unfamiliar with it, you read a story one episode at a time. The first three episodes are free. After that, you purchase tokens to continue reading. The cost of the tokens to read a story is similar to the cost of purchasing a book.

My first episode released last week, and episode #2 releases today. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, more episodes will release.

Moonlight Cove is a little different than my usual books. It tells the story from five different points of view, so each episode is from the perspective of a different person. There is also a murder mystery to solve! There are still plenty of similarities, though, to my other books, like a sweet romance full of humor and heart. Some episodes might make you laugh. Others might tug at your heartstrings. But I hope each one keeps you excited to read what’s coming next!
The story takes place in the real town of Seaside, Oregon.
The cast of characters includes:
Jamie – a runaway teen
Jake – a police captain who moved to Seaside after no longer being able to stomach big-city crime
Brenley – a quirky introvert who comes to Seaside after her grandmother guilts her into spending the summer there with her
Mimi – Brenley’s widowed grandma who needed a change of pace for the summer
Clint – a handsome widower who is in town to work on the beach house (derelict dump as Clint calls it) his son purchased and wants Clint to renovate
Here’s a little excerpt from the first episode:
Without asking questions, Jamie jumped up and started running down the beach. Shouts, both concerned and accusing, blasted the air as people noticed the body on the beach and rushed to help, but Jamie didn’t stop.

The woods seemed far safer than the open beach. Glad for the months spent practicing for track, Jamie’s stride lengthened. Even with lungs burning and muscles about to spasm, with darkness encroaching and rain starting to fall, Jamie kept running.

Sprinting into the darkness, Jamie prayed whoever killed the man on the beach wasn’t set on a second murder that night.

Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. YeeHaw! I’m so blessed to be living out my happily ever after with my very own Texas hero. My cowboy is disguised as a computer nerd, but I love him through and through.

Not only are we hitting a milestone anniversary this year, but my son Wyatt just got married two weeks ago. So we have an abundance of wedding love to celebrate!

I received a small piece of good news the other day. I was selected (I’m told out of hundreds of applicants) to be one of 25 local authors featured by the Greater Phoenix Library. I wasn’t expecting the committee to pick a romance author. Or, if they were going to pick a romance author, to choose someone more famous than me. But I’m thrilled! I, along with the other authors, will be featured  in the library’s catalog, on their web page, in their branches, and in their newsletters. And while many of my books are already available through the library, they asked for my backlist and have purchased copies of the books they didn’t have. Very cool!

The second book in the new Love Train series!

My sweet romance Henley is in the chute right behind Pam’s book in the new Love Train series. It releases April 15!

Henley is a keeper of secrets. Want to know one of her big secrets? She can play cards with the best of ’em, even though she looks so prim and innocent.

You can pre-order Henley on Amazon!

 

 

Love is a gamble, and heartbreak is a risk she’s willing to take.

Despite her dreams to set down roots, Henley Jones has never had a place to call home. She’s spent her life on riverboats and railroad cars, tagging along with her gambling father. A shoot-out during a card game results in his death, leaving Henley alone and nearly penniless. Out of luck and options, Henley agrees to travel across the country to the newly established town of Holiday, Oregon to marry a stranger.

A demanding practice in a town clawing its way to respectability keeps Doctor Evan Holt rushing at a hectic pace. He’s far too busy to see to pressing matters like hiring competent help, or finding a wife. When one of his patients orders a mail-order bride, Evan can’t decide if the man is crazy or brilliant.  From the moment he meets her, Evan battles an unreasonable attraction to the beautiful, charming woman who seems to be hiding something from her past.

In a town flush with possibilities, will taking a chance on love end with heartache or a winning hand? Find out in this sweet western romance full of the humor, hope, and love.

Henley is part of the Love Train sweet romance series. Look for more books set in Holiday in the heartwarming and wholesome Holiday Express series.

 You’ll also find Henley on Goodreads. and Book Bub.

In other exciting news, my sweet World War I romance Sadie has bene shortlisted for the Hemingway Book Awards, a division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards.

If you haven’t yet read Sadie, you’ll find her on Amazon, and available in Kindle Unlimited.

Inspired by the true stories of women who served in France during World War I, Sadie is a sweet romance filled with courage, hope, and lasting love.

She yearns for far-flung adventures. He longs for the home he’s found in her heart. Will a world at war tear them apart, or draw them closer together?

For most of her life, Doctor Sadie Thorsen has imagined seeing the world on grand adventures. When America joins the war raging across the world in 1917, it seems her dreams are about to come true. She travels overseas as a contracted physician, eager to do her part to help the war effort. Endless streams of wounded push her to the limits of endurance, then she receives word Harley John Hobbs, the man she’s loved for years, is missing in action. Unable to bear the thought of life without him in it, she refuses to let go of her hope that he’s alive.

The day Sadie Thorsen shoved Harley John Hobbs down on the playground was the day she marched off with his heart. He spent years doing everything in his power to become successful, determined to have more than himself to offer Sadie if she ever returns to their eastern Oregon town. Conscripted to join the American Expeditionary Forces, Harley John answers the call and heads to France. Wounded and alone, he clings to the promise of seeing Sadie one last time.

Can deep, abiding love withstand the tragedies and trials of a world at war?

The Medicine Man Series, Book One

Back Cover Blurb

Her Beauty Takes His Breath Away… Only She Can Restore It

Eagle Heart of the Blackfoot Nation has not come to the trading post, Fort Union, to trade, but to find his missing brother. The medicine man has never seen a white woman, but, when she walks into the room, her beauty literally steals his breath.  

Laylah McIntosh has assets besides beauty that make her valuable to her father, the fort’s trader: her skill with numbers, her photographic memory and her knowledge of the sign language used by all the tribes. But, when she’s injured and caught in a fierce blizzard, it is Eagle Heart, alone, who rescues her.

Forced into each other’s company, their attraction deepens. But a union between them is forbidden in both their worlds.

Can their love find a way to survive the wrath?  Or will their differences separate them forever?

Warning:  Sensuous romance and a love written in the stars could cause a gal to go West in search of love and adventure.

When I first began writing twelve years ago this month, I thought I’d write a book, have it out of my system, and move on.

But I fell in love with writing sweet romances, and was hooked after that first book.

However, I never imagined I’d be celebrating the release of my 100th book!

You are warmly invited to join me for a little online celebration February 15! I’ll be sharing the details on my website, so be sure to pop by on February 15!

Thank you to everyone who has read my books, offered encouragement and support, and traveled along this incredible writing journey with me. I am so grateful for you!

Do you remember my post a couple weeks ago about the wild horses of Arizona’s Salt River Valley? I told you I was researching them for a new book proposal. I might not have mentioned the proposal was for Harlequin’s Love Inspired Suspense Mountain Rescue Collection.

In the meantime, I’m working on my fourth (and last) book in my Wishing Well Springs series for Harelquin Heartwarming. So, we had some celebrating in my house over the weekend!

CHERYL PIERSON

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I found an unexpected treasure while I was wrapping presents! It was down in the wrapping paper holder—a small, double-sided poster of the movie TITANIC with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

What was so special about that? Well, that movie came out in 1997 when my daughter was 11. It was all the rage for months! By her 12th birthday in September 1998, the movie had been released on video— and there was no doubt about what she wanted for her birthday, but she also wanted a Titanic theme party.

So all her friends wore their “evening gowns” and we decorated the living room and I made popcorn for our “viewing” of Titanic. It was a definite hit! I had forgotten all about the posters and other items I’d bought to decorate with, but I guess I saved this one for “someday” – and then forgot about it, too.  I think she was as thrilled to get this poster back again as she was to have it the first time around. Lots of Yee-Hawing going on over this, for sure. Reminded me of when my mom found my old poster of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and gave it to me about 10 years later…I’d thought it was gone forever. Have you ever found something later you’d completely forgotten about? Makes you so happy!

Sammy and Max wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 

The Wild West Series, by Karen Kay.

They join Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in the late 1800’s at the same time two sisters are fleeing their home due to a terrible miscarriage of justice.  They join Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in order to hide from the “law.”

Could love be the only way to avert a disaster?

Winnie Griggs

Some fun news – Harlequin has reissued one of my Love Inspired Historical titles as part of a 2-in-1 volume. Her Holiday Family was a fun story to write – it features ten orphans, a very proper widow whose first husband was a con man and an easy going bachelor with no roots who all end up stuck in the same house together during the holiday season.

HER HOLIDAY FAMILY

The Christmas Children…

Reserved widow Eileen Pierce never considered herself the kind of woman who was cut out to be a mother. She wouldn’t know what to do with one child, much less ten. But when handyman Simon Tucker is stranded in town with a group of young orphans just before Thanksgiving, she discovers she can’t just turn them away.

Simon knows there’s more to Eileen than meets the eye. Though his easygoing demeanor immediately clashes with her buttoned-up propriety, Simon’s kindness soon melts Eileen’s stern facade. Simon and the children already upended Eileen’s quiet, orderly life. Will they do the same to her guarded heart?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The best part of it for me this year was having my son, Casey, and his wife, Kayla, host our dinner in their new home they bought in May. I still cooked a turkey and took it, but Casey had cooked a wonderful ham, and we had all kinds of great side dishes, too. How about you all? Was it all fantastic? I made that Christmas Cracker Candy I blogged about a few days back and it was just WONDERFUL!

And here are my boys, recovering from the leftovers they enjoyed!

A GREAT time was had by all, and believe me, we were all truly thankful for the blessings we have in our lives! Now we’re looking forward to Christmas!

I am so pleased to announce that I just signed a deal with Harlequin to write three sweet contemporary western books–The Cowgirls of Larkspur Valley. I’m excited for this series which features feisty cowgirls who meet their matches–literally. 🙂

I’m participating in a fun Christmas Christian Fiction scavenger hunt this week. You can start by visiting my post and then hop from one blog to the next until you’ve collected all the answers. There are 25 blogs in total. Have fun!

Last month we got to take our first vacation in over two years. Had a wonderful time traveling up and down the California coast with hubby and daughter. Visited San Diego and San Francisco – went on a wine tour one day and the Japanese Tea Gardens another day. Mostly, we relaxed and had fun. Pardon all the pics without makeup. Hey, I was on vacation 🙂

 

 

Howdy!

Hope your holidays are going well & I hope you holiday shopping is either done or soon to be done.  I must admit that I still have quite a bit of shopping yet to do.  The three (3) above books are The Wild West series,  BLUE THUNDER AND THE FLOWER being the 3rd and last book in the series.  It was just released in August of this year.  The first book in this series, THE EAGLE AND THE FLAME, is on sale for $.99.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been about 2-3 years since either of these above books have been on sale.  These two books make up THE CLAN OF THE WOLF series.  Both of these books are on sale for $.99.  Pick them up while they are on sale.

Another series on sale right now is the Iroquois Warrior Series.  There are two books in this series and they are connecting stories.  Both books are on sale for $99.  The first book in the series is BLACK EAGLE and the second book is SENECA SURRENDER.

May your Christmas be merry and your New Year filled with all good things.

Merry Christmas!

Mrs. Pettigrew, my eccentric matchmaker for 12 books, finally gets her own tale. And what a tale it is!

I’ve started a new tradition with my readers and do a mash up holiday story every year. These books have characters from different series of mine (some even from my other pen name) and get together in a holiday romp sure to tickle your funny bone. This year’s was a lot of fun!

Mischief, Marriage and Mayhem, matchmaker Mrs. Pettigrew excels at them all!

Yet, for all her wealth and eccentric ways, something’s missing in her life. To remedy the siuation, she invites several very different mail-order brides and their husbands to spend part of the Christmas season with her. She hasn’t ventured out of her mansion in years, and what better way to do it than in the company of happy couples she’s brought together?

But those happy couples, even as different as they are, are quick to notice they have something Mrs. Pettigrew doesn’t and think it’s high time she did. Can her house guests play matchmaker as well as Mrs. Pettigrew herself? Find out in this mash-up of characters from some of Kit Morgan’s other Mail-Order Bride Ink stories. Not to mention a very special dance instructor.

You can find the book on Amazon

Happy Monday, friends! I’m more than a little excited my latest book in the Rodeo Romance series is now available! It released on Thursday and has already received some great reviews.

Here’s what a few Goodreads reviewers had to say:

 

“So much emotion in one book, I laughed and then had tears in my eyes …”

“…Full of laughter, swoon worthy kisses, family interference and of course love.”

“This is such enjoyable Christmas story. It’s a heartwarming, funny & moving romance. I loved it from the first to the last page.”

You can find Remembering Christmas on Amazon in both digital and paperback formats, and in Kindle Unlimited!

I’m also very honored to have received the 2021 RONE Award in the Cops, Jocks, and Cowboys category for my book Protecting the Princess. It truly is an honor and I feel so blessed to have received it. Thank you to everyone who has read the book!

I’m so excited to share! On the 20th of November, I made it onto the USA Today Bestseller list! Yee-Haw! It’s not western (but it is set in Texas, does that count?) but this collection does have a western title in it. The reviews are pouring and people are loving it so far.

 

This set was originally sold through all sales formats, but is now only available through Amazon and it’s in Kindle Unlimited. Happy reading!

Just had to share these glorious pictures I took a few days ago of the evening sky and the “vapor trails” left by a jet on its way to Will Rogers World Airport (we are not far off the flight pattern).We live in a great place–close enough to see the jets from afar but not close enough to hear them.

 

Anyhow, this reminded me of two things–a wonderful book called OCTOBER SKY by Homer Hickam that was also made into a movie years ago–a true story, that is so inspirational! If you have not read it, it’s DEFINITELY worth the read!

 

And the other thing it made me thing of is a poem called HIGH FLIGHT by John Gillespie McGee.

“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air….

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
– Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.”

 

 

Just wanted to “YEE-HAW” about the beauty in our everyday world around us, and also for the technology (iPHONE!) that allows us to photograph it and save it to look at over and over again. Hope you all enjoy the pics!
