Have you heard of the wonderful organization called Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife? They seek to encourage, equip, and connect small-town and rural ministry wives in their unique calling. Maybe you’re not a small-town pastor’s wife, but if you know one – please forward them this ministry link.
My husband and I spent our early ministry years serving God in a tiny village. I learned so much about ministry, myself, and the Lord during those years. Since then, we’ve served God in other contexts. My husband was an associate pastor and now is a lead pastor in a large (ish) church. After more than 20 years in ministry, I have to admit that there is something uniquely special and uniquely challenging about small-town ministry. Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife speaks to those needs.
It’s my privilege to write the occasional article for them. My most recent is available now and is called Whatever it Takes. **Due to the personal nature of some of the blog posts, the blog portion of their website is limited to pastors’ wives who have registered with them. Registering is super easy, and the content and community are worth it.
I’ve spent much of March editing my latest suspense novel, and since I’m in the mystery/suspense mood, I decided it was the perfect time to partner with other authors and offer a steep discount. (Make sure you check out Fatal Homecoming – it’s only $0.99 American currency.)
This link below will take you to a handful of Christian suspense titles that are also on sale for $0.99 (US dollars). You won’t want to miss these! The sale runs from March 24th – April 6th, so get them while you can!
I have the privilege of writing guest posts for Women Together, an organization about networking and empowering women to make a difference by providing women with education, skills development, leadership training, and Biblical instruction to women leaders worldwide. It is an organization committed to creating a global community of Christian women who live to glorify God, serve others, and learn from one another. I encourage you to check out Women-Together!
I had set a goal to complete my first draft of a new romantic suspense novel by Jan 31, 2021 — and I did it! This title began as a novella project, but it quickly grew into something far too big to contain within the confines of a novella. I don’t have a title yet, and I would love your suggestions. Some keywords to consider are:
holiday (Christmas)
stalker
mountain lodge
winter
second-chance romance
army chaplain
writer
You can comment below and share your brilliant title ideas or email me personally. I can’t wait to read your ideas. Maybe one will become the actual title! How cool would that be?
New to You
In the past few months, I’ve partnered with several authors for cross-promotion. Several of you have emailed to express your thanks for the title recommendations. I have a few more for you to check out today. I have NOT READ these titles. The first two are discounted novels, and the last one is a link to several FREE reads you might enjoy. Happy reading!
Disclaimer: When I reach out for these kinds of “swaps” (that’s what authors call this kind of cross-promotion), I am extremely clear that my readers are clean Christian readers. I explain that means I request swaps for titles with no foul language, no intimacy before marriage, no skin on the cover, and no sorcery. I ask for titles that contain an inspirational tone or message. I take the author’s word that their title meets the criteria. If you stumble across a title that does not meet these conditions, I would appreciate it if you would send me a quick message so that I can make a note.
Looking for a few free reads? This link takes you to several clean, inspirational, romance and romantic suspense titles FREE until March 28th. Feel free to send the deal to your friends, who might also enjoy these titles.
