"The Silver and the Cross"

"The Silver and the Cross" is now available for purchase on www.comfortpublishing.com; $13.99...
Here's what it's about: "In this historical Christian romance set in 1890 Wallace, Territory of Idaho, minister's daughter Leora Brown finds her faith challenged when her heart is captured by a handsome mine foreman, Edward Lyncroft. The Englishman is equally swept away by the lovely and spirited girl, but will his rejection of her religion be an insurmountable barrier to their love? Leora and Edward will encounter more than one near-tragedy in their struggle to find happiness and a common faith."

April 1 Looms....

April 1, April Fool's Day.... And my first book will be in (how many? I have no idea) bookstores. So I'm thinking: Why didn't I make the book a little longer? Why didn't I do a better job of writing it? Why in the world did the publisher say "yes" to this book; I don't think it's good enough! Will anyone read it? Will anyone like it? Can I have a do-over????

Since I had "The Silver and the Cross" accepted by a publisher, I have written or almost finished writing 4 more books. One is another historical Christian romance, one a just-plain historical romance, one is a YA fantasy, one an adult fantasy. So it seems apparent that I like to write historical romance and fantasy novels, huh? After doing this much writing in the past couple of years, I have come to realize two things: 1) The more writing I do, the better I am at writing (duh, right?); and 2) I really, really love to write.

So, despite the continuation of gray, gloomy, rainy days in North Idaho and despite missing my family and friends in California and elsewhere, each day I sit down at my computer or laptop eager to be getting on with the business of writing.

I'm very lucky.

Cheers,
Kathleen
