Mind of Her Own 
Diana Lesire Brandmeyer

Who knew making dinner could change your life? Louisa Copeland certainly didn’t. But when the George Foreman grill fell out of the pantry onto her head, resulting in a bump and a mighty case of amnesia, Louisa’s life takes a turn for the unexpected. Who was this Collin fellow, claiming she was his wife? And whose kids are those? Her name couldn’t be Louisa. Why, she was the renowned romance writer Jazz Sweet, not a Midwestern mom of three. Struggling to put the pieces together of the life she’s told she had, Louisa/Jazz may realize that some memories are better left alone.

Claiming Mariah
Pam Hillman

In light of her father’s death, Mariah Malone sends a letter that will alter the lives of her family. When Slade Donovan, strong willed and eager for vengeance, shows up on her front porch, Mariah is not ready to hear his truths: her father’s ranch, the only home she’s ever known, was bought with stolen gold. With Slade ready to collect his father’s rightful claim and force Mariah and her family out on the streets, Mariah must turn to God for guidance. Though Mr. Fredrick Cooper, a local landowner, promises to answer her financial woes if she agrees to be his bride, Mariah finds herself drawn instead to the angry young man laying claim to her home…and her heart.

Where the Treasure Hides 
Johnnie Alexander Donley

Artist Alison Schuyler spends her time working in her family’s renowned art gallery, determined to avoid the curse that has followed the Schuyler clan from the Netherlands to America and back again. She’s certain that true love will only lead to tragedy—that is, until a chance meeting at Waterloo station brings Ian Devlin into her life. Drawn to the bold and compassionate British Army captain, Alison begins to question her fear of love as World War II breaks out, separating the two and drawing each into their own battles. While Ian fights for freedom on the battlefield, Alison works with the Dutch Underground to find a safe haven for Jewish children and priceless pieces of art alike. But safety is a luxury war does not allow. As time, war, and human will struggle to keep them apart, will Alison and Ian have the faith to fight for their love, or is it their fate to be separated forever?

What I'm Writing...and More

A special shout-out to Johnnie Donley for tagging me in this blog hop. It’s a fun way for readers to “hop” around on the internet and find new blogs to visit. If you came from Johnnie’s blog over to mine, then thank you for hopping over. If you arrived from a different briar patch, then feel free take a gander at Johnnie’s blog and check out her post from last week.

In the spirit of this blog hop, I’m supposed to share a bit about one of my works-in-progress, but this is a difficult topic as I hold my stories close to my heart until they’re ready to venture out into the wide-wide world. So, use your imagination to fill in the blanks! lol

Title: Trusting Trey

Genre: Inspirational Historical Romance.

Where did the idea come from? Trusting Trey features several secondary characters who just popped up like a crop of cabbage after a warm spring thaw in Stealing Jake, my debut book that released from Tyndale in July, 2011.

Short synopsis:
Haunted by the death of her husband in a coal mine accident, Johanna Thorndike, a young mother of two small children fights tooth-and-nail to keep the mine closed and preserve her husband’s memory. Mine owner Trey MacPherson is desperate to re-open the mine for reasons of his own. As these two butt heads, an explosion is bound to occur sooner or later.

Who or what inspired the WIP? As I wrote Stealing Jake, a character name J. T. MacPherson surfaced. MacPherson doesn’t actually show up in Stealing Jake, but he’s an integral part of the story. As a matter of fact, I deliberately left J. T. MacPherson non-gender specific in the first book because I couldn’t make up my mind whether MacPherson would be a man or a woman. By the time I finished Stealing Jake, the character had become flesh and blood, and his gender was cemented forevermore as James Thomas MacPherson III, or just plain old Trey.

Agency Representation: Steve Laube with The Steve Laube Agency.

How long did it take to write the first draft? Dunno. It’s still in progress.
J

What other books in this genre compare? Maybe the first book in the series, Stealing Jake.

So, that's a snippet of what I'm working on in addition to gearing up for the January 2013 release of Claiming Mariah.

Today, December 5, 2012: To keep this blog hop hopping along, check out Tyndale’s Introduction to the Digital First releases.
 And be sure to bookmark Tyndale’s blog and stop back by all throughout the month of December for more articles and interviews from the Digital First authors. I’ll be featured on the Tyndale blog on December 17th, 18th, and 19th, and I’d love to see you there.
