Parties & Goodies

Howdy y'all! You're all invited to a new Facebook group called "All Roads Lead to Texas," created by authors Janice Hanna Thompson, Marcia Gruver, Vickie McDonough, Kathleen Y'Barbo, and yours truly to celebrate the release of our brand new collection, Lone Star Love.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1611589815825326/

All week long (from May 23rd - May 27th) y'all can join us in this room for Texas-themed conversation and lots of chatter with the authors. At the end of each day the "author of the day" will give away one copy of the book (ebook only) and a special gift. You don't have to be present to win prizes, but you do have to pop in and out and leave comments in order to be entered. And don't fret! If you can only visit with us one or two days this week, we'll be happy to have you. Please share the word with your friends. The more, the merrier! And while you're at it, please go ahead and pick up a copy of Lone Star Love, now available on Amazon for only $0.99! (That's quite a bargain for such a lengthy collection!) You'll adore these tall-as-Texas tales!

Originally released as "Let's Make a Deal", Signed, Sealed, & Delighted is more than double the length and packed with more fun, faith, and friction than before.

Her father's dying wish changes everything...
After years of working in the Cater Springs’ clinic, Sarah Asher never planned on marriage. However, she neglected to mention that to her pa. Determined to fulfill his dying wish, despite her well-informed fears, Sarah marries Joseph Matthews but only after a few signed and sealed promises. One in particular—he can kiss any dreams of sharing a room with her goodbye.
Joe has never had any luck with women, and marriage doesn’t seem prone to change that. Sarah might be a handsome filly and his only ticket to inheriting the ranch promised him, but she’s pricklier than a barrel cactus and more temperamental than a Texas tornado. Keeping his distance from her should be easy. Only it isn’t. The beautiful woman attracts trouble and constantly requires saving, putting her well within arms’ reach.
Will signed promises seal their fate to a loveless marriage, or can Sarah move past her fears to find a love worth delighting in?
