Mary Davis and Free Books!
A single mother stepped out of the shadows of abuse and into the sunshine. But will a secret clouding her past cost her the man she loves?
Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free copy of The Ranchero's Love, by Nancy Farrier, is:
ourgod1-hisdaughter@...
Congratulations! I'll contact you to ask whether you want the paper or e-book version, and we'll get your book right out to you. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to learn about new releases! U.S. subscribers are entered in the drawings a second time when they comment.
And now let's meet novelist Mary Davis, author of the historical romance, The Widow’s Plight (Mountain Brook Ink, release July 2018).
Mary Davis is a bestselling, award-winning novelist of over two dozen titles in both historical and contemporary themes. She has five titles releasing in 2018; "Holly & Ivy" in A Bouquet of Brides Collection in January, Courting Her Amish Heart in March, The Widow’s Plight in July, Courting Her Secret Heart September, & “Zola’s Cross-Country Adventure” in MISSAdventure Brides Collection in December.
She’s a member of ACFW and active in critique groups.
Mary lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of over thirty-three years and two cats. She has three adult children and two incredibly adorable grandchildren.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
I make porcelain dolls. I have always loved dolls, so when I learned that I could actually make porcelain dolls, I jumped at the chance. I have been making them on and off for over thirty years.
One of my favorite porcelain dolls I made was a Surprise Doll. It has a regular porcelain doll on the top, but the skirt base is made of wood with doors to open up to reveal a scene and is covered with the dress fabric. For a twist, I thought it would be fun to put a dollhouse inside of a doll. I love the way it turned out.
One of my friends put a bridal boutique inside the bride skirt, another put an outdoors-wintery scene inside a snow princess, and another a 50s diner inside the poodle skirt. The possibilities are endless.
What a clever (and time consuming) idea!
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Widow's Plight.
The Widow's Plight ~ This is book 1 in the Quilting Circle series.
Washington State, 1893
When Lily Lexington Bremmer arrives in Kamola with her young son, she’s reluctant to join the social center of her new community, the quilting circle, but the friendly ladies pull her in. She begins piecing a sunshine and shadows quilt because it mirrors her life. She has a secret that lurks in the shadows and hopes it doesn’t come out into the light. Dark places in her past are best forgotten, but her new life is full of sunshine. Will her secrets cast shadows on her bright future?
Widower Edric Hammond and his father are doing their best to raise his two young daughters. He meets Lily and her son when they arrive in town and helps her find a job and a place to live. Lily resists Edric’s charms at first but finds herself falling in love with this kind, gentle man and his two darling daughters. Lily has stolen his heart with her first warm smile, but he’s cautious about bringing another woman into his girls’ lives due to the harshness of their own mother.
Can Edric forgive Lily her past to take hold of a promising chance at love?
What is it about Lily that will make your readers care about her?
Though Lily has been battered on the inside as well as the outside, she is kind and caring to others and will do anything to protect her young son. And even though she’s fearful because of her past, she is brave for her son. She’s a broken individual who is trying to put her life back together.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
Many possibilities come to mind, but I think it would be fun to write about Little Curly Top Shirley Temple Black (1928-2014). I loved her movies when I was young and still like them. She was a very talented little girl. Besides being an actress, singer, and dancer from the age of three, she became a businesswoman and diplomat.
Well, I have to admit that your answer brought back memories of watching reruns of Shirley Temple movies as a kid, and I just spent a good hour reading all about her on Wikipedia! That would make an excellent novel.
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly. It’s a story about Belle while she’s held in the Beast’s castle. Belle finds herself pulled into the pages of an enchanted book. This is a bit like another book I like with this same idea of going inside a book, The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next Series) by Jasper Fforde.
I love this idea of entering a book and roaming around. Much like good stories do when reading them, I feel as though I'm transported to the worlds within.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently working on book 2 in this Quilting Circle series, The Daughter’s Predicament. Pressured by her family to marry, an oldest sister has three marriage proposals and a family secret to confuse her decision.
Isabelle is the unfavored daughter. While making a quilt for her own hope chest, her half-sister becomes pregnant out of wedlock and Isabelle becomes the sacrificial daughter. She is interested in one suitor when her family tells her she must marry another. But a silent suitor waits in the wings, hoping for his chance at love. Will Isabelle marry the man her parents wish her to? Or will she rebel and marry the man they don’t approve of? Or will a patient love win over her heart?

Nancy Farrier and Free Books!
She is running from her past…
From the love she can’t have…
From the inescapable horror of her future.
Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free e-copy of Ransom of the Heart, by Susan Page Davis, is:
shuqueen@...
Congratulations! We'll get your book right out to you. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to learn about new releases! U.S. subscribers are entered in the drawings a second time when they comment.
And now let's meet novelist Nancy Farrier, author of the Christian historical romance, The Ranchero’s Love (River Ink Press, June 2018).
Best-selling author, Nancy J. Farrier, loves to write about characters who live in the western United States. She lives in the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona. She loves the rich history of the Southwest and Western States.
When she isn’t writing, Nancy loves spending time with her family, riding her bicycle, hiking, reading and doing needlecraft of some sort. She has been very active in her church, teaching the Women’s Bible study and playing the piano on the worship team. Nancy loves her rescue cats and hopes to someday adopt a rescue dog.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
I love bicycling. I enjoy going early in the morning and riding between 20 and 25 miles. This year, I participated for the 3rd time in the Great Cycle Challenge, a June ride that raises money to fight cancer specific to children. In the past three years I’ve ridden over 800 miles and raised over $1500 dollars. I love combining something I love to do with a cause I am passionate about.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Ranchero's Love.
Rosalinda knows she will never escape her past, both the choices forced on her and the mistakes she’s made. She longs to find a place to live in peace—where she can learn to mother her children and where Lucio Armenta won’t be a constant reminder of the love she can never have.
Lucio wants to marry. However, Rosalinda, the only woman he’s ever been attracted to, doesn’t meet the ideals he’s set for his future wife. When he discovers she, and her adorable brood, are accompanying him to his sister and brother-in-law’s, he objects. An objection that is overruled.
When secrets from Lucio’s past are exposed, and Rosalinda faces choices no woman should have to make, will their growing love, and their faith, survive?
What is it about Rosalinda that will make your readers care about her?
Rosalinda’s mother made the choice to sacrificed Rosalinda while keeping Rosalinda’s sister. Since being sold to one evil man and then another and another, Rosalinda hasn’t known kindness from anyone. She has developed a hardened exterior to deal with the hurts life has thrown at her. But, deep down, she only wants to be loved and accepted for who she is.
Oh, that does make one empathetic to her. Intriguing.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
This is a hard question because I’m so used to dealing with fictional characters in a fictional world. Yet, each character is based on some very real traits as I try to work through how a person would deal with the conflicts life throws at us.
I have a friend who comes to mind. She isn’t famous, but is very accomplished. She started her own successful business and was always a joy to everyone who worked with her. Then she was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. She no longer has her business and works two jobs to support herself. She often struggles to keep up with medical bills and other life problems. Many times her disease flares up and she can’t do anything due to the debilitating pain.
So, why would I write about her? Because I have never seen her when she isn’t smiling. She always cares so much about others and wants to know how she can help or what she can do for you. Her attitude in the midst of strife is something I admire. She loves God, loves others, and loves life no matter what is thrown at her.
That is the person I would write about.
Excellent. And what a rare woman.
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
Just one? How do you narrow a huge list to one book? I had to think about this one for days. I read Long Way Gone by Charles Martin and loved the story. I’ve loved all his books, but the music theme in this one and the redemption story spoke to me. I highly recommend Martin’s books, but especially Long Way Gone.
What are you working on now?
I am finishing a novella set in the same time period as my novels, Bandolero and The Ranchero’s Love. Esclava (Slave), will introduce new characters, Maya and Yaniv. Maya’s stepfather auctions her off because he is desperate for money. Yaniv buys her to set her free. But, will he be free from this woman whose plight catches at his heart? Will she ever understand the meaning of true freedom?

Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
My Land of Promise series, Bandolero, and The Ranchero’s Love, take place in 1830’s California, which was then Mexico. I use Spanish words and phrases in the books, but provide a glossary. Does the use of Spanish in the story hinder your enjoyment? Does the time period intrigue you? Oops, that is two questions. I would love to hear your answers. Thank you.

Susan Page Davis and Free Books!
Abby Hobart goes to meet her husband for dinner, but Peter is missing and there’s a dead man lying on the floor of his showroom.
Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free e-copy of Chase, by Glenn Haggerty, is:
paulalipper@...
Congratulations! We'll get your book right out to you. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to learn about new releases! U.S. subscribers are entered in the drawings a second time when they comment.
And now let's revisit with novelist Susan Page Davis, author of the new mystery novel, Ransom of the Heart (Tea Tin Press, June 2018).
Susan Page Davis was born and grew up in the state of Maine. She and her husband Jim have six adult children and ten grandchildren. They now reside in western Kentucky.
Susan is the author of more than 80 published novels and novellas, in the mystery, suspense, and historical romance genres. She’s a winner and four-time finalist of the Carol Award; winner of two Will Rogers Medallions; a two-time winner of the FHL Readers’ Choice Award; and finalist in the WILLA Literary Awards.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
My father was a game warden, and as a result people sometimes brought him injured or orphaned wildlife, which made for some unusual temporary pets.
I'd love to hear more about that. I would imagine that would nurture a kind heart toward wildlife.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Ransom of the Heart.
Captain Harvey Larson is on guard when a fifteen-year-old girl approaches him during his lunch hour. Leah thinks she has proof that he is her father, but Harvey needs more evidence.
A few hours later, his sister-in-law Abby stumbles upon a body at Hobart Chevrolet. Her husband, Peter, is missing, and the Priority Unit turns out to investigate. When she finally gets a call demanding ransom, Harvey goes into high gear to set up a ransom drop. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned when they try to deliver the money.
Meanwhile Peter and Abby’s little boys agonize over their father. Harvey’s wife, Jennifer, does her best to support Abby and their other sister, Leeanne, who is gearing up for her first book signing, and Detective Tony Winfield hopes his idea for a first date will appeal to the chief’s new secretary. His cousin Amy’s getting married, and he needs a date for the wedding, but Tony forgets to reveal one crucial bit of information.
What is it about Abby that will make your readers care about her?
Abby Hobart is a new stepmom who is not too confident in that role. When her husband is kidnapped, her family is there to support her, but it’s up to her to assure the boys that everything’s going to work out. She can’t promise Andy and Gary their dad will come home, but Abby must dig deep and find a way to let them know that no matter what happens, their family is rock solid.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
John Alden, Mayflower passenger. He’s an ancestor of mine, and I wish there was more information available about him.
Fascinating! It does sound as if you've already done some digging.
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
The Face of the Earth, by Deborah Raney. It’s a wonderful relationship novel set against a mystery.
What are you working on now?
I’m writing a western novella and also a cozy mystery. I can work back and forth so long as the two projects are set in different time periods.

Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
In this story, Harvey offers his handkerchief to Abby to wipe her tears. She seems surprised that anyone still carries one. Can you think of other items that could seem old-fashioned to young people?

And now let's revisit with novelist Susan Page Davis, author of the new mystery novel, Ransom of the Heart (Tea Tin Press, June 2018).
Susan Page Davis was born and grew up in the state of Maine. She and her husband Jim have six adult children and ten grandchildren. They now reside in western Kentucky.
Susan is the author of more than 80 published novels and novellas, in the mystery, suspense, and historical romance genres. She’s a winner and four-time finalist of the Carol Award; winner of two Will Rogers Medallions; a two-time winner of the FHL Readers’ Choice Award; and finalist in the WILLA Literary Awards.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
My father was a game warden, and as a result people sometimes brought him injured or orphaned wildlife, which made for some unusual temporary pets.
I'd love to hear more about that. I would imagine that would nurture a kind heart toward wildlife.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Ransom of the Heart.
Captain Harvey Larson is on guard when a fifteen-year-old girl approaches him during his lunch hour. Leah thinks she has proof that he is her father, but Harvey needs more evidence.
A few hours later, his sister-in-law Abby stumbles upon a body at Hobart Chevrolet. Her husband, Peter, is missing, and the Priority Unit turns out to investigate. When she finally gets a call demanding ransom, Harvey goes into high gear to set up a ransom drop. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned when they try to deliver the money.
Meanwhile Peter and Abby’s little boys agonize over their father. Harvey’s wife, Jennifer, does her best to support Abby and their other sister, Leeanne, who is gearing up for her first book signing, and Detective Tony Winfield hopes his idea for a first date will appeal to the chief’s new secretary. His cousin Amy’s getting married, and he needs a date for the wedding, but Tony forgets to reveal one crucial bit of information.
What is it about Abby that will make your readers care about her?
Abby Hobart is a new stepmom who is not too confident in that role. When her husband is kidnapped, her family is there to support her, but it’s up to her to assure the boys that everything’s going to work out. She can’t promise Andy and Gary their dad will come home, but Abby must dig deep and find a way to let them know that no matter what happens, their family is rock solid.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
John Alden, Mayflower passenger. He’s an ancestor of mine, and I wish there was more information available about him.
Fascinating! It does sound as if you've already done some digging.
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
The Face of the Earth, by Deborah Raney. It’s a wonderful relationship novel set against a mystery.
What are you working on now?
I’m writing a western novella and also a cozy mystery. I can work back and forth so long as the two projects are set in different time periods.

Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
In this story, Harvey offers his handkerchief to Abby to wipe her tears. She seems surprised that anyone still carries one. Can you think of other items that could seem old-fashioned to young people?

Glenn Haggerty and Free Books!
Drugs infiltrate Tyler Higgins’ middle school, turning ordinary kids into brain-dead druggies. When his friend is infected, Tyler decides to cut the small town drug flow by ratting out the dealer before it’s too late.

Congratulations! I'll email you for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book right out to you. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to learn about new releases! U.S. subscribers are entered in the drawings a second time when they comment.
And now let's visit with novelist Glenn Haggerty, author of the action adventure/mystery suspense novel, Chase, Intense Book 3 (Freshwater Publications, April 2018).
Glenn writes inspiring adventures with an edge. No matter how dark the day, finding hope to pursue the prize is the core of all his novels and studies.
He is a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), a graduate of Vision Loss Resources and Bethel Seminary, the father of six and grandfather of seven. Glenn likes tandem biking, kayaking, and daydreaming and lives in Minneapolis with his wife.
He is also an award-winning author with short stories published in Splickety, Havok, Cadet Quest and Partners. Chase, the third book in his Intense series was released on April 1, 2018.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
I’ve hit both the California and the Florida beaches. I’m not going to say which is better.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Chase.
In Chase, Tyler, a middle school newbie, watches helplessly as his friend, Jake, descends into drugs. With the help of a couple of classmates and encouraged by the local police, Tyler begins shadowing drug runners to rat out the methamphetamine dealer before his friend turns into a brain dead druggie.
But Tyler has underestimated the power and raw evil that is about to be unleashed against him.
There are lots of twists and turns and character surprises as Tyler and his friends come face to face with organized evil. Faith and courage are tested to the max, and many lessons are learned regarding life and friendships.
What is it about Tyler that will make your readers care about him?
I think Tyler embodies the contradictions of many 13-year-old boys. Wanting to be included, wanting to be the hero, but still cowed by fear. Naïve and self deprecating, he is also stubborn and tenacious. He struggles to figure out another complex facet of friendship even as he struggles to figure out where girls fit, if they fit, into his life. In the end he learns to apply faith, and God does some extraordinary things through him.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
Billy Graham.
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
The Frozen Hours: A Novel of the Korean War, by Jeff Shaara. It was well researched and also well written. Through it I better understand the Korean War and the world as we know it today.
I read his Gods and Generals. You're right--the man is an excellent researcher and writer. What are you working on now?
My next book in the Intense series is tentatively titled, Hyde, which follows the theme of the first three books and once again also serves as the name of the main antagonist. It is set in Florida where Tyler is vacationing with his cousins. Once again, they get caught up in a mysterious disappearance that has to do with modern day pirates and treasure buried in plain sight. I’ve done some research on the Spanish gold fleet of 1715 and discovered some interesting possibilities.

Beth White and Free Books!
A destitute Southern belle must save her plantation home—Is a retired Union soldier the answer?
Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the e-copy of A Heart Reclaimed, by Elizabeth Maddrey, is:
cjenreffner@...
Congratulations! We'll get your book right out to you. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to learn about new releases! U.S. subscribers are entered in the drawings a second time when they comment.
And now let's visit with novelist Beth White, author of the historical romance, A Rebel Heart (Revell, June 2018).
Beth White’s day job is teaching music at an inner-city high school in historic Mobile, Alabama. A native Mississippian, she writes historical romance with a Southern drawl and is the author of The Pelican Bride, The Creole Princess, and The Magnolia Duchess.
Her novels have won the American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award, the RT Book Club Reviewers’ Choice Award, and the Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award.
Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.
I have dolphins in my back yard. No, really. Like Flipper. I live on Wolf Bay, near Orange Beach, Alabama, and sometimes when I sit on the swing on my dock, dolphins will swim by looking for fish. Pretty cool.
Wow, that would have me on that dock daily! You're right, that's very cool.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of A Rebel Heart.
Five years after the final shot was fired in the War Between the States, Selah Daughtry can barely manage to keep herself, her two younger sisters, and their spinster cousin fed and clothed. With their family’s Mississippi plantation swamped by debt and the Big House falling down around them, the only option seems to be giving up their independence by leaving their ancestral land.
Pinkerton agent and former Union cavalryman Levi Riggins is investigating a series of train robberies and sabotage linked to the impoverished Daughtry plantation. Posing as a hotel management agent for the railroad, he makes Selah a proposition—he’ll help her save her home, but only if it is converted into a hotel. With Selah otherwise engaged with renovations, Levi moves onto the property to “supervise” while he actually attends to his real assignment right under her nose.
Selah isn’t sure she entirely trusts the handsome Yankee, but she’d do almost anything to save her home. What she never expected to encounter was his assault on her heart.
What a great story premise. And the cover is gorgeous. I think many people assume southerners would have bounced back fairly well by five years post-war. Obviously you correct that misconception with your novel.
What is it about Selah that will make your readers care about her?
Selah Daughtry is indubitably a lady. But she will do whatever it takes to protect and provide for those she is responsible for—even if it means going into business as a hotel manager. She holds onto a lot of guilt over the way her family has treated slaves before the War, but she’s determined to make it right. She is smart, practical, and tender-hearted, and I enjoyed getting to know her as I wrote her story.
Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?
Brigadier-General Don Bernardo de Gálvez, Spanish governor of New Orleans during the American Revolution. In a little-known quirk of history, Spain secretly funded the American cause and sent spies along the British-held Gulf Coast, from Mobile to Pensacola, to harvest intelligence for Continental strategy. Gálvez was an inspirational leader and administrator with a genius for the balancing act of the political, military and social world he inhabited. Also, he fell in love with, courted, and married a beautiful French Creole widow named María Feliciana de Saint-Maxent Estrehan. Oh my goodness, what a movie that would make!
Yes, and what a novel! Do it, Beth!
What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?
I honestly don’t read a lot of fiction at the moment, because I spend my free time researching and writing! But the last novel I loved was one of Sibella Giorello’s Raleigh Harmon Mysteries. They’re all fabulous (I think there are seven or eight in the series so far). Lyrical prose, deep characterization, cool mystery puzzle, fascinating heroine, slow-boiling romance. Funny as all get-out.
Thanks for that recomendation. I have so much respect for the minds of good mystery writers.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the second book of the Daughtry House series (sequel to A Rebel Heart). It’s titled A Reluctant Belle, and it features the second Daughtry sister, Joelle. She’s tall and awkward and beautiful and nerdy and forgetful—and she’s in love with her childhood nemesis, Schuyler Beaumont. Unfortunately, just as she accidentally gets herself engaged to the young Methodist preacher who’s been following her around for a year (not Schuyler, unfortunately), Schuyler embroils them both in a political murder mystery.
