What I’ve Been Up To …

Hey, did you know that meteorologically, March 1st is the first day of spring? This is different than the vernal equinox, which occurs on March 20, but since it’s the early bird who catches the worm … I thought a pre-spring freebie and sales might be in order, so keep reading for all the details below.

So … what I have been doing for the last six months? Well, Keith and I have had lots and lots of fabulous family time with my family, his family, and our own wonderful brood and six busy grands, which has been really fun, but, unfortunately, not super productive for writing. 🙁

As many of you know, I released my memoir devotional, WHAT’S THE STORY, MORNING GLORY last fall, but God hasn’t given me a direction for my next novel yet, so prayers appreciated He does so soon because I am driving poor Keith up the wall without a book to write. 😳

But I sure can’t complain about family time because as my Facebook page says: GOD. FAMILY. ROMANCE. IN THAT ORDER!

But I do have some good news. I am blessed to have a BookBub deal for a free download, so I thought I’d let you — my AMAZING readers — get a jump on the details.

She’s dead-set on giving everything to the war overseas …

Even if it means losing everything in a war of the heart.

A street orphan abused and abandoned by an alcoholic father at age five, Gabriella (Gabe) O’Connor has never let a man stand in her way yet. So when a handsome flight officer thwarts her plans to become a WASP— Women Air Force Service Pilot — she’s determined to join the war effort anyway she can. Her chance comes when she “borrows” foreign correspondent credentials from the Boston Herald—where her father is the editor—to stow away on a medical ship to the front.

Lieutenant Alex Kincaid pegs Gabe O’Connor as trouble the moment she steps foot on Avenger Field as a WASP cadet. As the eldest brother of a boy whose jaw Gabe broke in grade school, Alex is familiar with her reputation as both a charismatic ringleader and a headstrong hooligan who’s challenged every male and nun from grade school to college. As her WASP flight instructor, Alex eventually expels Gabe when she pulls a dangerous stunt. But when he is an evacuation pilot in France eight months later, their lives intertwine once again, exposing them to a danger as perilous as the German tanks roaming the Reichswald Forest: a love that neither expects.

🌲 A True Christmas Story From my Life!

Did you know we can pray for a heart of gratitude and God answers that prayer? You bet, and the following (true) Christmas short story that happened to me years ago is absolute proof. I call it, When God Wraps a Present …
 

When God Wraps a Present

We’ve all heard the adage “it’s better to give than receive,” but never have I agreed more than the year I was engaged to the love of my life.

It was truly a Christmas to remember—spiced egg nog and snickerdoodles and shimmering presents unwrapped in a circle of love. Of course, we all ooohed and ahhhed over each gift opened, one at a time, reveling in the glow of excitement for giver and recipient alike.

And then it was my turn. Everyone waited while I tore into a small box, anticipation fairly shimmering in my fiancé’s eyes.

“Do you like it?” Keith asked, grinning like a little boy when I unearthed a very pretty silver watch.

Uh … no.

“It’s beautiful,” I said with a shaky giggle, slipping it on and holding it up for everyone to admire. I quickly gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. “Thank you so much, babe—what a perfect gift!”

Perfectly awful, that is. You see, when you are a twenty-eight-year-old, Type-A career woman who is very set in her ways, there are just some things you have to buy for herself—books, costume jewelry, purses … a watch.

All right, yes, I’ll admit it—“high maintenance” is my middle name because heaven knows I’m one of the most particular people on the planet, especially when it comes to watches. They have to be digital, waterproof, have a day and date window, an alarm, chronograph, second hand, both silver and gold metal to wear with either silver or gold jewelry, stretch band skinny enough to fit my wrist . . . and a GPS.

Okay, I’m pulling your watch chain on the last one, but you get the picture—NOT easy to find, especially with numbers big enough for someone as blind as a bat.

So, yes, I faked it, of course, thanking my soon-to-be husband for the “prettiest watch I had ever owned,” because it was—I just didn’t like it.

But did I “fake it” with God? Nope. I went straight to His throne in prayer and begged Him to help me love this watch because the man I loved gave it to me and I just flat-out didn’t want to hurt his feelings. I even went so far as to write the prayer request on a piece of paper and put it in my Bible so I could “wrap” it in prayer every single day, which I did.

Until the fateful moment years later when Keith used my Bible one day and found the note.

“You don’t like your watch??” he said, confronting me with hurt in his tone while his eyes flicked to the pretty watch on my wrist.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, somewhat confused.

He held up the note. “You told God you hated it in this note I found in your Bible.”

Uh-oh . . . BUSTED!

“Oh, babe,” I said with my brightest smile and a quick kiss on the lips. “That was then and this is now. It’s perfect for me, just like you, and I absolutely love it.

And you know what? I did!
 

🌲 I wish you and yours a happy, healthy, and holy holiday season!

🍁 Morning Glory is Here at Last!

 

YES, it’s finally true … What’s the Story, Morning Glory, my brand-new and quirky memoir devotional is FINALLY here in both paperback and e-book, so I hope you check it out. 

Why?

Well, for one reason, some realllly great authors endorsed it above, which totally blessed the socks off of me.

But the real reason you should check it out?

Because author endorsements are great, but the true test of a book is on the blog tour, where a ton of complete strangers (along with a few who know me and my books, of course) read and post their completely honest reviews for all the world to see.

YIKES! I don’t mind saying that I was more than a wee bit nervous 😰, sweating bullets since this was my very first nonfiction AND one I did NOT want to write, as you all know. But God had other ideas as you can hear in the following INTERVIEW VIDEO ON MORNING GLORY if you so desire.

So, I decided to let Him handle the blog tour and any reviews that came my way, good or bad. And, boy-oh-boy, did He!! Check out these amazing reviews out:

 

 

Here’s a peek at the Jacket Blurb and Table of Contents:

 

What’s the Story, Morning Glory?

A Memoir Devotional with a “Novel” Approach
to Practical Christianity

“DEAR LORD, JULIE … OUR WHOLE LIFE IS IN THIS BOOK!”

My heart went out to my sweet husband as he walked into our kitchen one day with a noticeable gulp, ashen-faced after reading my latest novel.“Yes, I know, babe,” I said with a repentant smile and a conciliatory hug, “but nobody really knows that.”

Ahem. Until now …

Trust me, “What’s the Story, Morning Glory? A Memoir Devotional with a ‘Novel’ Approach to Practical Christianity” is not a book I wanted to write. As a novelist, I have never been partial to nonfiction, either reading it or writing it, but I had little choice when God convinced me otherwise through a number of point-blank arm-twistings I couldn’t deny and not-so-gentle proddings from family and friends.

Despite all the encouragement, I wasn’t really sure where to begin. “It will be fiction and nonfiction combined,” the Holy Spirit whispered within, and just like that, the idea for this book took flight. First, I would tell my “real” and very personal story behind the life-lesson stories in my novels, then I would follow it up with the excerpt from my books where I teach that same life lesson to my characters, finally culminating in corresponding Scriptures, a bulleted “Takeaway” list, and a related prayer.

Thus, What’s the Story, Morning Glory: A Memoir Devotional with a “Novel” Approach to Practical Christianity was born. A memoir devotional that when combined with scenes from my novels, becomes a “novotional” where I relate the life lessons God personally taught me through His Word. I am simply a child of God who applied these lessons and Biblical precepts to every situation in my life and consequently, saw nonstop answers to prayer and blessings galore. It is my profound hope and prayer that through my own very simple and personal stories and examples, I can do the same for others. Therefore, the format for each chapter of this book will be as follows:
 

1. The Real Story (How I learned and applied the spiritual lesson in my own life)
2. The Novel Story (The scene where I teach the spiritual lesson to my characters)
3. The Scripture Story (Scriptures applicable to the spiritual lesson)
4. The Takeaway Story (Bulletized points for spiritual lesson in easy-to-read/apply format)
5. The Prayer Story (Specific prayer related to the spiritual lesson)
