WeWriWa - HIstorical Romance - New Release

In honor of the release of A Heart at Home (An Everlasting Heart, Book 3), today we have a snippet from the beginning of A Heart at Home.


“Guess we’re really on our way,” Charlotte whispered to Achilles. “A new home, out west, where there are still wild horses and Indians.” Her speech was interrupted by a tremendous clap of thunder.

“Least we made it a mile!” Sanderson joshed from the wagon as the torrential flood of rain cascaded from the blackness above.

“Everyone stay still,” Jerry cried, “we’ve got white-out rain!”

In seconds, Charlotte was alone with Achilles, isolated by the blinding rain. The cold fingers of fear tickled her spine. Sensing the change in Charlotte's mood, the normally even-tempered gelding perked up his ears and every muscle in his body stiffened, as though preparing to defend himself against the unseen onslaught of nothingness.

Eight Sentences WeWriWa - Historical Romance

Wonderful news on the publication home front, fellow WeWriWa-ers! Book 3 in my historical romance series, An Everlasting Heart, will be released ahead of schedule -- in 5 days to be exact, April 26th! Wahooo!!! In honor of this, today's excerpt is from A Heart at Home, book 3 in An Everlasting Heart saga.

 
 
As she stared at the little rock cottage, emotion surged from the depths of Charlotte’s soul. “Don’t know if I can leave, Sanderson.”
She didn’t realize she was trembling until her beloved’s hand fell gently on her shoulder, drawing her watery gaze from their first home to him. Sanderson was still handsome, he always would be, but in a more aged way since escaping from the Confederate prison and returning from war. Sparkles from the sunrise accented the brown flecks in his hazel eyes. A slow smile spread wide across his full lips, revealing those dimples that made her knees turn to water and her stomach turn up in knots. Everything will be alright, it seemed to promise, cloaking her fears in warmth. As long as we’re together, everything will be alright.

WeWriWa - Historical Romance

Today we jump back into Charlotte's world in pre-Civil War Arkansas in A Heart on Hold.

 
"Do you think we'll really see a war, Sanderson?" Charlotte mused as she placed her bare foot in Sanderson's proffered hands. He had laced his fingers together and crouched to hold them at her level.
Not wanting to reject him, Charlotte had obliged and used his hands as a step. Holding onto Achilles' longish silver mane, she hoisted herself into place atop his wide back. She shuddered as Sanderson's gaze remained steadfast on her bare leg. She curled her toes inward and readjusted her seat.
"Hmmm ..." Sanderson's voice was dreamy. "What?"
"What are your thoughts on a war?" Achilles' hooves crunched through the twigs and left over leaf litter from winter. She was hesitant to broach the subject of war, but her curiosity won out.
 
Already read A Heart on Hold? Book 2 in the Everlasting Heart series is available now, too! Click here to check out A Heart Broken.
 
 
Join in the countdown to the release of Book 3, A Heart at Home, which will be born on June 10 -- just like me!

Excerpt Time!

Here are six sentences from my debut novel, A Heart on Hold (An Everlasting Heart, #1).

The thought of war was removed from Charlotte's mind as she uncurled her legs from beneath her patched cotton dress and stretched them into the brook. She tilted her head back and closed her eyes as the icy water swirled over her bare feet. It felt good to have finally loosened the tight braid from her hair. She swayed back and forth, letting the way locks tickle her shoulders. Achilles, who had been grazing contentedly, whinnied at the light bugs that flickered about his muzzle. Charlotte's fingers found the soft jade and eggshell tassels that ringed her picnic blanket and her mind began to wander.
