New Heart's Haven Book Release Party

We're celebrating the release of A COWBOY CHRISTMAS at our Heart's Haven Facebook page this Friday, Dec. 13th, 7 - 10 p.m. EST. (That's 4 - 7 p.m. Pacifict Time). As always, we'll have some great giveaways, lots of fun and awesome company! 

But our Heart's Haven release is sharing the spotlight this time around with a couple of other new releases, so our celebration will be HUGE! Be ready to   also welcome LEA'S GIFT and TENDER TRUST! 

We're going to have a blast, so do NOT miss this one! We'll be watching for you...

About A COWBOY CHRISTMAS:


A mom on the run. A special child and her “imaginary” friend. A cowboy. And God. Heart’s Haven is at it again…

Layne Mabrey is on the run.

Her ex-husband wants to have six-year-old Chloe institutionalized, but Layne will go to any lengths to keep her Down's Syndrome child.
Dex Beckett falls immediately in love with both Layne and Chloe, but Layne can't afford to get close to anyone—not even the shy, gentle cowboy next door. She and Chloe have to be ready to run…again.


Concerned that Chloe's sudden creation of an imaginary friend could be used to substantiate her father’s claims, Layne is shocked when Dex offers an unbelievable opinion about the child’s invisible visitor. But there's more to Heart's Haven than meets the eye. Is it possible a Christmas miracle awaits Layne and Chloe on the Heart's Haven Angel Tree?

About LEA'S GIFT:

At twenty-one, Lea Dale is well-adjusted and happy, despite the facial scars she's carried since infancy. She has friends in high places (with a connection to angels); possesses colorful vision (since for some reason she can see auras around folks); and her family and friends adore her. Corrective surgery is a possibility, but not one Lea has felt the need to consider…until wealthy investor Laren Meadows walks into her life and turns it upside down. Suddenly, Lea is painfully conscious of her lack of perfection, given Laren's flawless looks and ultra-charming personality. What a blessing that he's attracted to her despite her scars—and even her special angel seems to approve of the match.

Then a secret from Laren's past threatens to destroy any hope of a future for the two of them. Now there's only one way for Lea to know if Laren's love is true, but taking that action could mark the end of their relationship.

Can love survive such a tangled mess of physical and emotional scars?


About TENDER TRUST:

Life has not been kind to Penny Layton. Her childhood was destroyed by a mother who abandoned her. She later finds the love of her life in Alex Marsden, but a madman and a dangerous mob separate them. She eventually finds him, only to have the Civil War drag her young husband from her arms yet again.

Alex’s faith, and the belief that God will reunite him with his wife and baby, keeps him alive during the war . But when he finally tracks down his little family, will his faith be strong enough to convince a bitter and broken Penny that they are meant to be together…this time forever?

Heart's Haven Holidays' Final Offering: Maria's Angel


We celebrated the release of Tanya Stowe's HAUNTED HEARTS on Nov. 1st - and if you missed the party, you really, truly missed a good time.

But all is not lost. Already it's time to invite you to ANOTHER RELEASE PARTY!

MARIA'S ANGEL by Marianne Evans is the final offering in the Heart's Haven Holidays collection - and, as is always true with Marianne's books, it's a heart-touching, soul-stirring, romantic masterpiece. Do not miss a single Marianne Evans book - and especially, you won't want to skip any of the Heart's Haven stories.

We'll be hanging out on the Heart's Haven Facebook page on Friday, Nov. 15 from 7 - 10 p.m. Eastern time (4-7 p.m. Pacific; 5-8 p.m. Central). We're looking forward to a having a lot of fun, with numerous great giveaways, some sharing of recipes, lots of fellowship with our Heart's Haven reader friends - and even an excerpt or two from some of the featured books.

You'll be there, won't you? :) We'll be listening for the flutter of your wings.

While you're preening those feathers and adjusting your halo for the party, here's a blurb from MARIA'S ANGEL:

A mechanic. A widow. A broken-down car. Sometiimes life's purpose is found by accident. 

Trying desperately to find her way following a season of loss, Maria Wilde is literally at the end of her road, stranded in Angel Falls, Texas. She’s on her way home for Thanksgiving in a car jam-packed with her worldly possessions and the greatest treasure of all, her six-month-old daughter, Lilly.

Brody Lang is a mechanic at the gas station where Maria finds herself temporarily sidelined. He’s got the faith of an angel and willingly helps her out of a jam. Sensing God’s intervention, Brody is compelled to help Maria find the road ahead.

But can he work past the steel blockade widowhood has erected around Maria’s heart? Can Brody and his friends at Heart’s Haven convince her that re-claiming life and holding on to God's grace can lead Maria not just into new life, but a second chance at love as well?

Are you ready for more of Heart's Haven?



 We're so excited about our upcoming Heart's Haven releases...TWO of them, coming only two weeks apart! To celebrate, we're having parties on Facebook - and YOU'RE INVITED! As always, we'll be visiting with our readers, sharing recipes, and giving away some great prizes. Trust me, you don't want to miss these events!

The first party is on Friday, Nov. 1st, to celebrate the release of Tanya Stowe's HAUNTED HEARTS. Here's a blurb from this wonderfully warm tale with just enough eeriness to make it perfect for this time of year:

Firefighter Scott Lunsford is haunted by his past. Tormented by loss and reeling from guilt, he hasn't been the same since a car accident claimed his girlfriend's life. He should have saved her. With his life and his faith in ruins, he takes a leave of absence and throws himself into the renovation of his turn-of-the-century house. His days are filled with renewing and rebuilding…but the nights bring voices and apparitions and Scott fears he's losing his mind.

Self-proclaimed klutz Suzy Daniels knows angels frequent her Heart’s Haven home, but the entity she encounters floating around Scott Lunsford is no angel. Suzy trips on her own feet and slides down the side of the trail, screaming all the way. But Suzy realizes Scott is being tormented. She tells the handsome firefighter she's seen the apparition and assures him he’s not losing his mind--he's just as sane as she is. Suzy doesn’t believe in ghosts but she does believe in angels, God’s spiritual warriors, and she’s convinced they can help Scott in this battle for his soul.


If you've been following the series, you know that Heart's Haven started with four novellas written by four authors. The original series included:

JEWELS FOR THE KINGDOM by Delia Latham
OPERATION BREATHLESS by Marianne Evans
LEAP OF FAITH by Tanya Stowe
DANCE WITH ME by Mary Manners




Our readers accepted these four books with such enthusiasm that we found we couldn't bear to say good-bye to Heart's Haven just yet. So...we put together another couple of series. One is still in the offing (we'll keep you updated!), but we're in the middle of releases for the Heart's Haven Holidays series right now. These books include:

LEXI'S HEART by Delia Latham (A Mother's Day story)
LOVE NOTIONS by Mary Manners (A 4th of July story)


 

(The above two novellas are available NOW...you can buy them publisher-direct or on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christian Book - actually, pretty much any online bookseller should have them available.)

Finishing off the Holidays series are the two books pictured at the beginning of this post:

HAUNTED HEARTS by Tanya Stowe (A Halloween story) Coming Nov. 1st  Don't forget to be at the Facebook party!

MARIA'S ANGEL by Marianne Evans (A Thanksgiving story) Coming Nov. 15th  Stay tuned for release day/party news!

Jami Mitchell has come home to Heart's Haven to open a bookshop with the inheritance Grandma left to her. Nana's Novel Notions is the business of her dreams until she realizes who the tenant next door is: ruthless Riley Hunter. Growing up in the small town together, she's watched him dance through women while she's hidden her feelings with a concrete exterior. How will she cope, when she can't bear being in the same town with him, let alone neighbors?

Riley Hunter has sacrificed everything to shed the poverty of his childhood. While others held Sweet-sixteen parties, he cleaned up after them. But his hard work has paid off, and he's opened an architecture firm in the growing town. He's had a thing for Jami since high school, but she was the privileged girl who never gave him the time of day. Now she's come home with a wad of cash and has set up a book store in the business complex he plans to buy out.

Can the two put the past behind them, or will his dream shatter hers?
