The world can wait

How did you come up with your premise? Is there a story behind your book? How did the story evolve? Strangers often ask us if we’re twins. We’re not, but we’ve always thought it would be fun to have an identical twin. The premise of having someone who looks exactly like you isn’t new, but we like to think we put a different spin on it by having one twin impersonate his abducted brother while searching for the kidnapper. We write what we know and what comes from the heart. The story behind this book is the story of rural folk everywhere, living off the land, protecting their families, and dealing with the challenge of new ideas and change. The story evolved very slowly. We knew what would happen in the plot, but at the first writing, we have to be honest, we hated the hero and heroine. Innumerable rewrites later, we feel it’s evolved into something readers will enjoy. For those who are not familiar with this story, would you please give us the blurb? As undercover agent, Ja...

Cassie's Wedding Dress releases on October 14th! I'm organising a blog blitz for that day and will put links up soon. If it were a movie it'd star the two ppl below. Eric Close from Without a Trace as Pastor Jack Chambers. Only with a Brit accent ;-) Fiona Bruce, BBC newsreader, as Cassie Hinton. Blurb: Steeplechase jockey Cassie Hinton's dream was to walk down the aisle in her medieval wedding gown to become Mrs. Jack Chambers. Injured in the Grand National, she returns home...only to find Jack is now the Pastor of her parent's church. Jack Chambers, now a widower and single parent, still has feelings for Cassie, but she sees him as nothing more than a Pastor. Even if he could change her mind, there is still his position to consider. With the Royal Wedding fast approaching, Cassie makes her dress, little dreaming of the consequences of doing so. Extract: “Everyone else has photos of the royal couple and ribbons, silver bells, hearts and balloons. I wanted something...

Like most of us, I know exactly where I was and what I was doing. I was at my parents. Two kids at school three miles away. It was 2.15pm. Neighbours had just finished and Dad asked if I'd like to watch Diagnosis Murder. I said yes so he kept the TV on. A black screen came up saying "news report". We went live to New York and stayed there. I was driving to the school to collect R and C when the first tower fell. I arrived home and put the TV on in time to see the second fall. The TV just stayed on as hope faded. Like when Princess Diana died, we waited for someone to tell us it was a joke. But they never did. On Oct 11th 2001 a friend sent me this. Michael wrote: I had a very dear friend question my faith in God right after the terrorist attack on America. Her question was simply put, "Where is your God today?" She was very hurt, as all Americans were, so I tried not to react defensively. Since that moment I have prayed and grieved over the disastrous events. ...

http://telscha.blogspot.com/2011/08/christmas-blog-advent-calender.html No one signed up on here so I am guessing either you're all on holiday or don't want to think Christmas yet. I really need to know how many posts of my own i have to write. If all you want to do is advertise a Christmas themed book coming out in Dec, that's fine :) Just needs to be G rated. Right now I'm doing 14 posts.

Remember last year I did an advent calender of stories and recipes for Dec up til Christmas Day? this year it'll be repeated but I want your help to fill the slots. All I ask is that posts/memories/stories are G rated and Christmas related. If you'd like to participate, let me know :)

Times Arrow, my time travel historical has been contracted by WRP! :D Based in Headley Cross in 1841, the story contains the train crash from Woodley of the same year. I changed events slightly to fit my story line - the train is going in the opposite direction at a slightly different time of day. But the death toll etc is true to the real event. Sonning Cutting is perhaps half a mile from where we live. We often drive over the bridge, stop and watch the trains pass by underneath on the main Reading to London line. Blurb: Touching a milestone, Joni Peterson is catapulted through time into a world both familiar and strange. Finding herself in Victorian England, she discovers love in the most unexpected place— at the feet of the man whose carriage knocked her down. Lord Sebastian Tyler needs to remarry, but preferably not a woman of his mother’s choosing. The woman his carriage runs over both irritates and fascinates him. Could she be the answer to his prayers? Will the arrow of love f...

Just the way You Are by KM Daughters RELEASES: July 29th BLURB: After surviving a fire, Noelle Walker is finished with undergoing unsuccessful operations to eliminate facial scars and to restore the use of her hand. Her neighbor, owing his life to Noelle's selfless rescue, finances her Valselo pilgrimage where she might experience the living presence of the Mother of God. Noelle silently prays to receive the miracle of self-acceptance so that she might live normally despite her gnawing self-consciousness about her appearance. When she meets the handsome Shane Thompson, his avid, romantic attention makes Noelle believe that perhaps miracles do happen in the quaint Adriatic village. The renowned maxillofacial surgeon doesn't seem to care that her hand is crippled and her face is scarred-that is until he claims he can give her "her miracle." Noelle survived the fire, but will she survive her broken heart after concluding Shane's interest is conditional on fixing her...
