What could be better to do on a chilly evening than sit in front of a fire with a good book in your hands? Yes, I know that it’s August and in most places in the US especially it’s probably pretty warm. But, Fall is coming. And with Fall comes falling temperatures. So why not plan ahead for those chilly evenings?
Lucky for you, today, we have just the thing for you. I have written three novellas that are the perfect length for a short read. They’re wholesome, clean, entertaining, romantic, and historical.
Be sure to read to the end of this post to enter an fun giveaway and find out about the free book offer!

Good morning Faith, they all sound good. I think I would enjoy I Love Thee the most. Thank you
Thank you!
I would love to read Amaazing Grace sounds so good, but then again some of your others look good also.
Thanks! You could always read them all. 🙂
These novels sound quite intriguing! I think I might like to read them all eventually, but for now ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘I Love Thee’ fascinate me the most. 🙂
Thank you, Cryslyn. 🙂
Redeemed sounds intriguing, perhaps a bit funny. Besides, I like that hymn. 🙂
I have a question. Will these novellas eventually be published in a paperback collection?
There are definitely some funny parts in Redeemed. 😀
That is an excellent question and one I should try to remember to answer in one of my posts this week. Yes, they will. I’m hoping for a Valentine’s Day release of the paperback that will have all three novellas.
Ah, good for us paper-only readers. Maybe one day I’ll tentatively enter the world of e-books. Maybe.
I have quite a few family members that way too. If it were cost effective to do the novellas published singly, I would, but it isn’t, so I’ll just do them all together. 🙂
