Book Review: Lady Jayne Disappears by Joanna Davidson Politano

As a contemporary romance writer (future tense), I don’t tend to delve out of my comfort zone genre. Which is, of course, contemporary. So when this book was pushed into my hands and I was told to read it because it was written in first person, well who was I to argue? Plus, I read on my Kindle app so… Read More

Oh, hay! (See what I did there? 😉) Last year Oh, hay! (See what I did there? 😉) 

Last year I felt a nudge from God to delve into a particular story idea. So I went to “see a man about a horse.” Actually several people!

I’m happy to announce that the story idea has been submitted to Love Inspired in a contest and earned me the chance to send the whole story to them by August.

Here’s to hoping my fingers will fly as fast as this horse.

I experienced my first ever reading slump (due to I experienced my first ever reading slump (due to grief) at the beginning of the year. After two DNFs, I hopped out of my normal reading genre and read a light mystery and these two historical romances. What a breath of fresh air! Karen and Jody’s books were audiobooks for me with great narrators.
 
And the romance threads didn’t disappoint! One is a marriage of convenience and the other was a heroine and her protector. I highly recommend!

Hi, it’s me, Kelly Scott, a sweet romance writer. I’ve written six stories, all represented by the different colored binders. They are all unpublished, but I’m hoping to change that.

I live in the Dallas area with my husband and two boys. By day I work as an accountant doing math things and writing and baking are my creative outlets. Along with pretend gardening.

I have first hand knowledge of grief, hot flashes, and raising a teen.

Thanks for stopping by! 💕

My dad was a runner. Nothing elite just his chosen My dad was a runner. Nothing elite just his chosen form of exercise. He inspired me to try it out and - ooof - running isn’t easy. It requires perseverance. When I had the chance to run a 5k with my dad, I did. He ran faster than me and during the race he double backed so he could keep pace with me. “Come on, let’s go,” he said. So I pushed forward and finished.
 
His running prepared him for the perseverance to fight Alzheimer’s. While diagnosed several years ago, our family joined him in this race. We held his hand and encouraged him to keep going. There were days when I wanted to quit, but his smile reassured me that he was okay and to press on. 

At the end, he ran hard to Jesus, persevering. Now he’s running on streets of gold, free from the disease.
 
He loved us all so well and there were no regrets. Nothing left unsaid. He taught me to love and to laugh and those same traits I’m carrying forward.

Thank you, Dad, for a beautiful life.

“…let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…” Hebrews 12:1-2

I’m happy to share @pepperbasham latest release I’m happy to share @pepperbasham latest release Hope Like Wildflowers, a historical romance set in the Appalachia mountains. For those of you who know Pepper, she lives in Asheville, NC which was affected by the hurricane. She’s okay and safe and providing updates on her situation.

I was blessed to spend time recently with Pepper in New Orleans at the ACFW conference. She took the time to share her rocky publishing journey with me as I’ve faced discouragement this year in my writing journey. She is a gem!! Her title is appropriate as she has faced personal crises and is currently sharing about the hope in Jesus while recovering from the hurricane challenges.
