I thought you would be interested in the new Guideposts original series, Home to Heather Creek!
About the series: Charlotte Stevenson’s world is turned upside down when her daughter, Denise, dies in a tragic car accident. She ran away at eighteen and Charlotte has never forgiven herself. Now, Denise’s children, abandoned by their father, are coming from California to live on Heather Creek Farm in Bedford, Nebraska. More
Check it out!!!
I wrote Book #2, Sweet September!
Harvest time at Heather Creek Farm is an exciting time, but the kids don’t seem to be getting into the spirit. One day while he’s wandering through the fields, Christopher stumbles across an old piece of metal buried in the ground. He doesn’t know what it is, but he hides it in the shed.
That night, the garden by the house is uprooted. Who could have done such a thing? Charlotte is determined to find out, but is distracted when she gets news that Sam is failing school. The sullen teen is indifferent and won’t study. He starts spending a lot of time with Pete. Though she loves her son dearly, Pete never finished high school, and Charlotte is afraid he’ll encourage Sam to do the same. How can she help him get back on track?
A gripping story that examines the Stevenson family’s history as well as its shaky future, Sweet September will bring you deeper into the loving community of Bedford and the deep ties of love that bind this broken family together. As they forge new connections, you’ll be entertained, inspired, and reminded that God’s grace can make all things new. Buy the book here.
This book was a lot of fun for me. A departure from the rigorous historical research and a chance to try my hand at something contemporary.
Stop Lurking! Every week I will draw names for a free Tricia Goyer book from those who comment on my blogs. Winner’s choice! Tell your friends.
I know all about “Guideposts”,but not about these original series books. What lovely covers and theme they have. I need to know more about these books. Thanks,Cindi

In answer to Cindi’s question, Guideposts has an enjoyable series called Grace Chapel Inn – probably 20 or more books in that series written by various Christian writers. There’s two other series that I haven’t read from yet – The Church Choir Mysteries and Mystery & the Minister’s Wife. Apparently your book is in a new series, Tricia.
I went to their website trying to find the other books in the Home to Heather Creek series, but it doesn’t list them. I think they want us to subscribe to the series.
Anyway, congratulations on getting to participate in Guideposts’ fiction, Tricia. I enjoy that type of book and will try to find it.
I have read the first book in this series, Before the Dawn, and I loved it! I was so engrossed in the book I read it in about a day and a half! I’m absolutley on pins and needles waiting to get my hands on the second book, Sweet September! I’m sure this one is going to be just as great as the first, if not even better! Thanks for continuing the story!
Anna,
I’m so glad you enjoyed Before the Dawn. I hope you enjoy Sweet September equally as well!
