Hi friends,

It’s been said, “Never be afraid to try new things and make some mistakes, it’s all part of life and learning!” I recently learned some new skills to design covers and format the interiors for two of my novels. When I finally pushed the publish button for Along Came Love and Surrendered Hearts, I was proud and delighted I could make these books available to you! Click on the covers to order your copies.

Lauren Woodman moves to Vermont, longing to build a secure life or herself and her six-year-old son. She wants to leave her past mistakes behind and avoid any romantic entanglements in the future. But when Lauren crashes her car into a snowbank, she is rescued by a longhaired man she assumes is a homeless wanderer, and she can’t leave him behind in the storm.

Wes Evans is actually an ex-missionary who has recently returned to the US after release from prison in the Middle East for his his illegal missionary work. He senses God brought him to Vermont to help Lauren and her son, but he is torn by his desire to keep his past a secret. As their friendship deepens to romance, Wes is forced to make difficult choices that involve great sacrifice in order to protect Lauren and her son. Lauren and Wes discover new dimensions of God’s grace and forgiveness as they put their love, their faith, and their very lives on the line for each other.

Along Came Love was my first published novel and was released through Steeple Hill Love Inspired in 2006. I received the rights back and was eager to revise and update the story to new readers to enjoy. Paperback $12.95, eBook $2.99.

Surrendered Hearts was the winner of the International Digital Award, Inspirational Novel Category. It was my first independently published novel originally released in 2011

A gas pipeline explosion and fire destroy Jennifer Evan’s apartment and change her life forever. Not only does she lose her home and beloved dog, the ugly scars that cover her arm, neck and shoulder steal her confidence and cause her fiancé to desert her. With her funds depleted and her job on hold, she heads for Vermont where she hopes to reconnect with her brother and find a way to rebuild her shattered life.

Bill Morgan, head naturalist at the Wild River Nature Center and her brother’s roommate, is a strong quiet man whose faith runs deep. He and Jenn’s brother determine to help Jenn make a new start in Vermont. Bill’s stumbling attempts to share his faith with Jenn seem to fall flat and push her farther away, but she can see the difference his faith makes in his life, and her heart is still drawn to him. Will she hold on to the pain of her past, or will she surrender her heart and finally find the faith and love she longs for? Paperback $12.95, eBook $2.99.

Along Came Love and Surrendered Hearts are available in paperback and eBook formats from Amazon. I hope you’ll get copies of both and enjoy these stories! 

Happy Reading,

Carrie
