Short-term Sale on Two More of My Novels!

For the second week in a row, I hope to provide you some accessible fun over our period of lockdown. I'm dropping my book prices. For just three more days--through Thursday, April 2--both Beach Dreams and Sunset Beach are available in e-book format for only 99 cents each. (I'll continue to feature other books at sale prices next week.)

Here is the summary of each of these romantic comedies:

Beach Dreams

“So, what do I do? Just give up? Avoid him? Stop brushing my teeth and wearing deodorant? He’s so sweet. And when he says something in that cute accent and looks at me with those long-lashed blue eyes and those dimples and that cleft thingy in his chin, and have you noticed how perfect his nose is?”

Tiffany LeBoeuf has a problem. She has lost her job, her mother has recently passed away, and she has zero social life. And then she meets Jeremy Beckett. But Tiff is a new Christian and knows she shouldn’t be attracted to this unbelieving (but charming!) Brit.

And then there’s Eve….Jeremy’s girlfriend.

When Tiffany reserves a cozy beach house in San Diego for a much-needed retreat, a mix-up causes a double booking, and Tiffany ends up sharing the beach house with Eve. When Jeremy arrives to surprise Eve, he surprises Tiffany, as well.

As Jeremy settles in at the beach house next door, events and secrets unravel that surprise everyone.

"Trish Perry’s Beach Dreams tells the touching and humorous story about how God uses even our mistakes to bring about His divine purposes."

The book can be purchased via the following button:




Sunset Beach

Sonny Miller, a recent college graduate with plans to get her master’s degree in psychology, intends to resolve some family drama and put her academic interests to the test. She cleverly invites her mother, Teresa, and her mother’s estranged twin, Aunt Melanie, to a quiet and quirky California beach house. They both show up...and with surprises of their own. Teresa, a successful classical singer, brings her latest protégé, Irina, and Melanie brings along secrets about Teresa and the identity of Sonny’s long-gone father.

The strong personalities cause some big waves, and Sonny is in over her head. Soon she is drawn to Irina and Irina’s charming brother, Grigori. Her faith is strengthened by their story of being adopted as children from a Russian orphanage by a Christian couple from America.

Readers will love being a guest alongside these characters. Between each sunrise and sunset is another day for healing, laughter, rediscovering the importance of family, and embracing the hope of God’s care.

Terri Wangard grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the Lombardi Glory Years. Her first Girl Scout badge was the Writer. These days she is writing historical fiction, and won the 2013 Writers on the Storm contest and 2013 First Impressions, as well as being a 2012 Genesis finalist.

Classic Boating Magazine, a family business since 1984, keeps her busy as an associate editor.

Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I swam competitively on the Green Bay YMCA swim team and missed going to Nationals by one second.

Wow. Sometimes a second holds such importance!

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Roll Back the Clouds.

Geoff and Rosaleen Bonnard receive a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to England aboard the fabled Lusitania in 1915. Europe is embroiled in war, but that shouldn't affect a passenger liner.

As they approach Ireland, a German submarine hurtles a torpedo into the grand ship. Rosaleen scrambles into a lifeboat, but where is her husband? She searches the morgues in Queenstown, heartsick at recognizing so many people. Geoff is finally located in a Cork hospital, alive but suffering a back injury.

While waiting for him to recover, Rosaleen is thrilled to meet her mother’s family, but a dark cloud hovers over her. The battered faces of dead babies haunt her. She sinks into depression, exasperated by Geoff’s new interest in religion. Her once happy life seems out of reach.

What is it about Rosaleen that will make your readers care about her?

Rosaleen is full of excitement about their voyage, but has to deal with a nemesis who loves to torment her. She refuses to cower though. She cares about people, shown in her concern for the maid and her rescue of the baby. She’s lost and distraught when Geoff is missing. She wants to meet her mother’s family, but her insecurity shows. She’s frustrated at changes in their lives. Readers should be able to relate to her. She’s someone you’d want as a friend.

She sounds as if she experiences struggles many readers will recognize from their own lives, but for different reasons. 

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

A pain-free night. Most mornings, I wake up with a headache.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

Being Known, by Robin Jones Gunn. Four close friends provide a safe haven of encouragement and vulnerability that is a godsend when life gets messy. To have such close friends is a blessing beyond compare; a very heart-warming story. (Releases April 28.)

What are you working on now?

A companion book to Roll Back the Clouds, which features Geoff and Rosaleen’s next-door neighbors, Peter and Maren Bloch. Maren’s family immigrated from Germany a few years before WWI, and she has to face the anti-German hysteria on her own when Peter goes off to war.

Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?

The Lusitania was nothing like the cruise ships of today. If you enjoy cruising, what do you like best? If you haven’t cruised, what would you most like to experience?

Clearly, readers, I interviewed Terri before the Corona Virus hit us all. Hopefully, the cruise industry will eventually rebound from its current troubles (along with just about every industry in the world). Let's assume that rebound, in answering Terri's question.

Short-term Sale on Two of My Novels!

In order to provide you some accessible fun over our period of lockdown, I'm dropping my book prices. For just two more days--through Wednesday, March 25--both The Guy I'm Not Dating and Too Good to Be True are available in e-book format for only 99 cents each. (I'll feature other books afterward.)

Here is the summary of each of these romantic comedies:

The Guy I'm Not Dating

"Yowza!" exclaims Kara Richardson when she sees the handsome proprietor of the new delicatessen in town, Gabe Paolino—who soon expresses mutual interest. This would be the start of a perfect love story, except for one thing—Kara has vowed to stop dating until she feels God's leading.

But when humorous circumstances send Kara and Gabe on a road trip to Florida, hope springs anew. Even with Kara's flirtatious coworker Tiffany—"a hyena in heels"—along for the ride, the uncouple begins a lively journey that could change their paths forever.

This memorable, charming story of love's persistence captures the honor of waiting on God's timing, and the adventure of finding the perfect guy to not date.

The book can be purchased via the following button:




Too Good to Be True

Trish Perry, author of the charming novel The Guy I’m Not Dating, follows up with a contemporary, humorous tale of how love and life unfold in surprising ways.

Rennie Young, heroine of Too Good to Be True, meets the gallant Truman Sayers after she faints in the boys’ department of the local super store. Despite this unromantic introduction, Tru Sayers, a handsome young labor–and–delivery nurse, seems like a gift from God. But a recent divorce and other life disappointments cause Ren to question whether she can trust her heart and God.

This clever novel encourages readers to lean on God’s leading and to be open to life after the hurt—even when it seems too good to be true.

And now let's meet novelist Jeannette Morris, author of the Young Adult novel, Her Shining Eyes, (Bold Vision Books, September 2019).

Jeannette is a freelance writer/editor, traveler, fisherwoman, missionary to Russia, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, voracious reader, and slow-but-sure knitter.

In her second-half adventure, she's writing novels, exploring the world, trying to stay fit and healthy, and letting go of past labels and failures. These may be her "golden years," but Jeannette believes the best is ahead. Her story is still being written!

Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I stood beside Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) in 1972 when she sang at my roommate’s wedding reception.

Beautiful woman. I see that Wonder Woman first aired in 1975, so that must have been right before her fame kicked in. You knew her when! 

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Her Shining Eyes.

Fourteen-year old Irina Kotova’s life as a promising violinist collapses in sync with the demise of the Soviet Union. After her father is killed in a bar fight, her ailing mother is hauled off to jail without explanation. Now considered an orphan, Irina is forced to live in a boarding school where Russia’s throwaway kids are abandoned and forgotten.

Irina is constantly tormented by Vadim Solokov, a mean-spirited hooligan who takes great pleasure in reminding her that nobody cares about them. Irina is convinced he is right, and the not-so-mysterious theft of her precious violin seals her resolve to escape the school or die trying. Her despondency over losing her parents and bitterness toward Vadim threaten her very existence.

Only the kindness of Anastasia, an interpreter Irina met by chance, sparks a glint of hope that life could possibly be worth fighting for.

What is it about Irina that will make your readers care about her?

Irina is trapped inside a body she despises and in circumstances beyond her control. She is talented, thoughtful, and afraid. Irina wants to please others, but the path to belonging eludes her.

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

Losing another pound! And receiving an incredibly moving new endorsement for my book.

A good loss and a better gain. That's what I call a great day.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

A Room of My Own, by Ann Tatlock. I found this compelling historical fiction novel to be a master class in story structure and characterization. I loved the protagonist, Virginia. She demonstrated both the angst of a teenager in a tough situation as well as the grit to follow her heart. The period of the Great Depression always strikes a note of sympathy with me as my parents were children during that time. They kept their stories a bit closer to their chests than I would have liked, but after reading A Room of My Own, I understood why.

Yes, my dad was a kid during the Great Depression. The hardships of that era created very strong but stoic people.

Denise Weimer and Free Books!

Even if she evades The Eye, someone wants her silenced.

Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free copy of Susan Page Davis's historical romance collection, The Mail-Order Standoff, is:

texaggs2000@...

Congratulations! I'll be in touch with you via email, 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 chat with novelist Denise Weimer, author of the romantic suspense novel, Traces (BLING! Romance, Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, March 2020).

Denise Weimer writes historical and contemporary romance and romantic suspense set in her home state of Georgia. She’s authored eleven novels and a number of novellas.

As a managing editor for the historical imprints of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, she also helps others reach their publishing dreams.

A wife and mother of two daughters, Denise always pauses for coffee, chocolate, and old houses.

Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I used to participate in living history and led a mid-1800s vintage dance group. That kinda ties in with writing, though, I guess, because it really proved inspirational for my historical novels.

Because I lived most of my life in Northern Virginia, I've seen plenty of living history groups reenacting Civil War battles, but I've never see vintage dance groups. What fun!

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Traces.

When a failed romance and a $500,000 prize lure Kate Carson into participating in the reality TV show, Traces, the least she expects is to pick her partner. After all, she’s the PR spokeswoman of the company that derived a thirteen-lens, rotating camera from military use and installed it atop Atlanta’s tallest skyscraper. But she never would have chosen to evade techno hunters for twenty days with “G.I. Joe.”

Stoic, ex-military Alex Mitchell is the sort of man she always vowed to avoid, while the shadows of Alex’s past cause him to spurn emotional involvement. When Kate’s insider knowledge makes her a target of someone more threatening than game show hunters, Alex offers her only hope to reveal the dark plans of proponents of The Eye.

What is it about Kate Carson that will make your readers care about her?

Kate Carson initially strikes her partner for the reality TV show, Traces, as picky and perfectionistic. In fact, Alex calls her “Red the SurveyCorp Poster Girl.” He can’t fathom why producers would pair someone with his military and security training with a ginger-haired, high-heel-wearing beauty who works in PR for the very company that made the technology they’re tasked to evade. Indeed, darting through Atlanta’s Underground and homeless shelters to evade surveillance does seem to bring out the worst in Kate. But gradually, Alex learns her perfect façade shields insecurity and guilt over past failure in life. With his support, Kate learns she’s more capable than she’d ever dreamed … even to the point of putting her life at risk to protect the secret she carries.

My hope is that readers can relate to characters who struggle with a weakness or past hurt, but who rise to challenges, grow, and change through God’s power.

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

For the way I’ve seen Him provide, direct, and answer prayer in the lives of my daughters. Very specifically!

Very little makes us moms happier than seeing our children blessed.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

Most of my reading time is for editing or author endorsement purposes, but the last book I read for enjoyment that I would definitely recommend was Mist O'er the Voyageur, by Naomi Musch. It’s just the sort of immersive, action-packed frontier historical romance I go for—and also enjoy writing myself.

What are you working on now?

Currently, editing projects, and marketing for Traces and my other March release, Spring Splash, require most of my time. Here’s the blurb for Spring Splash:

When an injury sidelines college swimmer Anna Callaway, her dreams are crushed. She pours herself into her sports marketing practicum, helping a local special needs organization promote their athletic event. What she doesn’t expect is a swim team ripe for the Special Olympics—and their handsome but stubborn coach.

Craig Holt has dealt with eager and ignorant volunteers before. No matter how determined or persuasive uptight Anna might be about coaching his team to the Special Olympics, he has no intention of allowing her to raise the hopes of his swimmers, his sister, or his guarded heart.

Then Anna herself gets a second chance at becoming a champion. Will she pursue her lifelong goals or make room for a new dream?

After fifteen years as a swim mom, this novel is dedicated to my daughters and holds a special place in my heart. I’m also focusing my attention right now on my younger daughter, a high school senior completing her final swim season and heading toward graduation. My days with her are limited.

What do you think about the premise for Traces? Does the concept of The Eye seem realistic to you? Believe it or not, it’s based on actual military technology that was also used to surveille the Rio Olympics.

Susan Page Davis and Free Books!

Rachel Paxton turned down a suitor. Why on earth would he give her his ranch?

Before we chat with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free copy of Becky Van Vleet's children's picture book, Talitha, the Traveling Skirt, is:

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 historical romance, The Bride Who Declined, in the novella collection, The Mail-Order Standoff (Barbour, Feb 2020).


Susan Page Davis is the author of more than 90 Christian novels and novellas. She’s a winner of the Carol Award, two Faith, Hope, and Love Readers’ Choice Awards, and two Will Rogers Medallions.

She lives in western Kentucky with her husband Jim. They have six children and ten grandchildren.

Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

My older sister named me. She was seven at the time.

What a privilege your parents granted her! You could have been Teddy Bear Page Davis, or something like that.

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Bride Who Declined.

Rachel Paxton turns down a man who proposes to her as a mail-order bride. After all he’s told her about Texas and his ranch, she’s not sure she’s ready to leave Boston, the only world she’s ever known. But a few months later, she is notified that Randolph has died and left his ranch to her, provided she goes to Texas and lives on it for a month.

What is it about Rachel that will make your readers care about her?

Rachel wants to do what’s right. She a little excited about the ranch, but more fearful. She’s not sure she wants to—or should—be the owner. But she’s willing to give it a try and explore what Randolph’s hopes were for her.

I like Randolph. He sounds like a forgiving and generous man.

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

We drive old cars. This week something was wrong, and we thought it might be fairly complicated and expensive to fix, but it turned out to be minor. Jim and I were very thankful for that!

That's not a little thing, either. Cars can be so frustratingly expensive.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries lately, and my husband and I both enjoy the Lady Hardcastle Mysteries, by T.E. Kinsey. They’re secular books, but so far they’re clean and fun.

What are you working on now?

My son Jim and I are finishing up The Scottish Lass, book 2 in our Hearts of Oak series. It’s different from my other books—female sailors in the 1850s, exotic locations, pirates, just all around good fun.

Becky Van Vleet and Free Books!

Who could guess that Talitha is anything more than an ordinary skirt?

Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the free copy of Nike Chillemi's inspirational mystery/crime novel, Acts of Malice, is:

kmb14787@...

Congratulations! I'll be in touch with you via email, 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 Becky Van Vleet, author of the children's picture book, Talitha, the Traveling Skirt (for ages 3-8) (Elk Lake Publishing Inc., August 2019).

Becky Van Vleet is a retired teacher and principal. She and her husband make their home in Colorado Springs, where Becky enjoys gardening and hiking and biking in the great outdoors.

Becky was inspired to write her first children’s picture book about Talitha to preserve a true family story. Becky is the mother of four adult daughters, each of whom also wore Talitha. To date, five of Becky’s granddaughters have also worn the little skirt.

She has another children’s picture book coming out in August of 2020, Harvey, the Traveling Harmonica. Her website is dedicated to creating and preserving family memories which she is passionate about.

Becky relishes spending time with her family and especially reading books to her grandchildren.

Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I enjoy lap swimming two mornings a week at 6:00 AM. Boy, do I ever wake up on those two days!

And you live in Colorado? I'm shivering just thinking about trying to stay warm those mornings.

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Talitha, the Traveling Skirt.

Who could guess that Talitha is anything more than an ordinary skirt? Well, I could! You see, I have watched the history of this little skirt unfold in my lifetime for three generations.

A little red plaid skirt began traveling within my family in 1948 and has continued to travel across the country for more than 70 years. I was inspired to write this children’s story to preserve my family history.

Talitha’s name means “little girl” from Mark, chapter four, in the New Testament. Early learning, family life, family traditions, and imagination are key concepts in my picture book. Discussion questions are included to inspire dialogue and to check comprehension.

What is it about Talitha that will make your readers care about her?

As I wrote this children’s book, inspired by a true family story, I decided to write a fun, imaginary tale in which the skirt is the main character. Children will care about Talitha because she encounters problems when she least expects them and overcomes. Talitha loves all the little girls in her special family and never wants to be lost or forgotten. I believe all young children desire to give and receive love within their families and wish to belong. They never want to be lost nor forgotten.

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

Just a couple of days ago, my 7-year-old grandson and I were talking about our blessings. When I asked Julius what his blessings were, he gave me such a sweet and sincere reply. When he later went home, I thanked God for my grandson’s young faith and understanding of family blessings.

It really is a comfort when you know your children and grandchildren love the Lord.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

I recently finished reading Callie by Sharon Srock. I was encouraged by Callie, the main character, as she worked through difficult grief and never gave up hope.

What are you working on now?

I am currently working on a young adult historical fiction novel about my father’s adventures on the USS Denver in World War II. The research has been so enlightening, and I’m very thankful I recorded my father in 1990 when he was lucid and willing to share his adventures and near-death experience upon this light cruiser.
