The way it will work -- I'll finish a story, it will go through editing and proofing, then my publisher will offer it digitally online.  Once all the stories are complete, they will all appear in the paperback version.  I don't have exact digital publications dates, but I will keep you informed and let you know when each story is available for download.  And if you aren't a fan of Kindle, Nook, etc...no worries...the stories will be in paperback too.  

This should be lots of fun.  I'm not sure which order I'll write them in.  The characters will let me know.  Right now, jonas and Irma Rose are screaming pretty loud to be heard. 

Peace and blessings everyone!

“A ground-breaking contemporary marriage story by best-selling author Beth Wiseman that will stay on your heart long after you’ve finished it.” --Kelly Long, best-selling author of The Arms of Love

When big-city life threatens the safety of one of their children, Brad and Darlene Henderson move with their three teenagers from Houston to the tiny town of Round Top, Texas.

Adjusting to small-town life is difficult for the kids, especially fifteen-year-old Grace who is coping in a dangerous way.

Married life hasn't always been bliss, but their strong faith has carried them through the difficult times. When Darlene takes a job outside the home for the first time in their marriage, the domestic tension rises.

While working with special needs children at her new job, the widowed father of one of Darlene’s students starts paying more attention to her than is appropriate. Problem is, she feels like someone is listening to her for the first time in a long time.

If Darlene ever needed God . . . it’s now.

Experience a family’s triumphant defeat over lies, betrayal, and loss while still clinging to the One who matters most.

My latest novel that is shipping this week is entitled Need You Now. It is my first non-Amish, full-length novel.  It is a stand alone story, not part of a series. 

One of my readers posted this on her blog -- "I have read many Amish fiction books by Beth Wiseman, and I was excited to read this latest novel of hers which is a totally different style. I found this book to be a refreshing and exciting change and absolutely loved the story." She goes on to say that she hopes I write more contemporary fiction.

What do you think? Right now, the plan is to alternate between Amish fiction and contemporary fiction.




        CONTEMPORARY?





OR





                 AMISH?









OR BOTH??

I hope you have a fabulous weekend full of peace and blessings.

Hi Everyone!

I’m excited to have fellow Christian author Colleen Coble visiting my blog today. I’ve read several of Colleen’s books and can attest to the fact that she is a wonderful author, but on a personal note, she is also a dear and loving person. So! Welcome, Colleen!
 

I'm excited to be here with you, Beth! I love your newest book, Need You Now. I just finished the advance reader copy and I couldn't put it down.

Awe, thanks so much! For those few readers who might not have heard of you or your books, can you tell us a little bit about you personally, why you write Christian fiction, and who or what inspires you?

I have two grown kids and a three-year-old granddaughter who is the light of my life. I've been married to the same great guy for forty years. I love being able to show the hope God gives to us in my books. I love writing. It was a lifelong dream and I'm constantly amazed at where God has taken me with my career. My books are all romantic mysteries. People have asked why I have mystery and suspense in my books, and I think it's because I have such a strong streak of justice. I look around the world and see all the injustice. I can't do anything about that but I can make sure the villain is caught in my books!

I love that! I’ve heard you say in an interview that Lonestar Angel is a favorite of yours. Can you tell us about the book and why it holds a special place in your heart?

The Lonestar books are all marriage of convenience stories. Lonestar Angel is a little different twist on that because Eden and Clay were married once. Then their infant daughter died in a kidnapping attempt gone wrong and they divorced. Eden moved on with her life. Five years later Clay shows up and tells her he never signed the divorce papers. But even more earth-shattering is his announcement that their daughter Brianna is still alive. Eden goes with Clay to try to figure out which of five little girls is their daughter. Along the way they have to learn what love really is and they start to make the choice to love every day. And of course they plunge into a dangerous situation as well.

While most authors will tell you that there are no ‘typical’ days, how do you like for your day to play out on average?
 

With coffee! I have to start off with freshly ground beans of the strong stuff in a big mug. Then I take care of business emails before plunging into my writing. I try to get at least 2000 words written a day when I'm putting down the rough draft. I keep at it until my goal is met for the day.

I need my coffee too! What can readers expect from you in the future?
 

I'm excited about a new series that is launching in a couple of weeks. The first book in the historical Under Texas Stars series is Blue Moon Promise. It's a marriage of convenience story set in 1870s Texas that I think my readers are going to love. It's a very personal book too. Lucy is dealing with the same lack of control issues I faced this year when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and my best friend Diann Hunt discovered that her ovarian cancer had come back. I wanted to DO SOMETHING. To fix it. But Lucy and I both had to realize that control is just an illusion. God is the one who has our life and death in his hands.

That sounds great! You are so right. God is in control, even though it's hard sometimes to 'let go and let God'. Where can readers find you online?
 

My website is www.colleencoble.com and I'm always chatting on Facebook and Twitter. I blog with four other close friends at www.GirlsWriteOut.blogspot.com.

Thank you, Colleen! And for my readers, a special offer: comment on this blog post to be eligible to win a copy of Lonestar Angel. And let me know if you’ve ever read any of Colleen’s books before!  I will choose a winner on Friday.  Good luck! 


Peace,
Beth
