“When guided by love, the truth never ruins hope,
darling,” she whispered,“it only sets it free.”
—Isle of Hope by Julie Lessman
And, Hey … Guess What?
That’s EXACTLY what I’m doing this weekend — Friday through Sunday, May 1-3 — setting “Hope” free with a FREE DOWNLOAD of my award-winning novel, ISLE OF HOPE: UNFAILING LOVE!
Isle of Hope Free Download May 1-3!
During a time like this quarantine, everyone can use a little “hope,” so I’m doing my part with a free download of my award-winning novel, Isle of Hope: Unfailing Love, which is a true story of hope for me, since it’s loosely based on how God healed my dysfunctional relationship with my estranged father.
I am blessed to say that Isle of Hope was listed on Family Fiction magazine’s “TOP 15 NOVELS OF 2015” and currently has a 4.7 rating out of 5 on Amazon with 288 reviews, so it’s not a dog, I promise.
So, if you have never read it … OR you know someone else who’s never read it and needs a little hope during this difficult time … I encourage you to send the link below to them.

Can a wild girl gone good
rebuild bridges with a good boy gone bad?
She’s the girlfriend serving up temptation. He’s the pastor’s kid

Enjoyable, quirky and sweet, Tales of the Hob Nob Annex Cafe is a collection of memories and imaginings based on the author’s home town and parents’ restaurant. If you remember those days, you’ll love this book!
We Have Winners!
THANKS to all who entered my trailer/video contest for A Wing & a Prayer. If you haven’t yet seen that wonderful trailer/video my talented hubby did for Gabe’s story, you need to check it out:
By the way, in the trailer/video, there is a scene where Alex and Gabe are lying on the ground together, but I wanted to make sure each of you understood that due to catastrophic circumstances, Gabe and Alex are forced to overnight in a hidden ravine shelter of trees and brush to excape the Germans. 🙂
SUPER CONGRATS to the following winners of an e-book of A Wing and a Prayer from the trailer/video contest. If you haven’t contacted me yet, please do so via private FB message.

WHOO-HOO!! Book 2 in my Silver Lining Ranch series, LOVE’S SILVER BULLET, is now available for pre-order on Amazon at a reduced price, so please don’t wait till it comes out on May 31st.
I have to say, there’s a lot of steam in this one, I guess because there wasn’t as much in A Wing and a Prayer, so I just went crazy here. 😳

He’s aiming to steer clear.
