Shannon here: Happy New Year! Last year, I gave away over eighty Christian
and/or clean books through this blog. Along with that, you got to meet new to you Christian authors, read about their real life romances, their writing processes, their inspiration, devotionals, and tour their offices. There were also author and character interviews, excerpts from their books, and a whole host of other inside info. This year is starting out with a bang, so I thought I’d share my lineup for the first half of the year. Comment or answer the question on any post dated Dec 29th – Jan 2nd to enter the drawing for my two in one including Hill Country Redemption and Heidi McCahan’s The Bull Rider’s Fresh Start. Deadline: Jan 13th, 11:59 pm central time.

Come back Jan 5th for Sara Davison!
Sara Davison,Sarah Hamaker,June Foster,Gail Pallotta and Cindy Bonds are all new authors to me and I enjoy reading romantic suspense.
Awesome, Becky. That’s what I want this blog to do. Introduce readers to authors they may not know about. I’ve actually edited some of Cindy’s books. They are riveting if you like Romantic Suspense.
I see lots of my favs new to me in my chosen genre- contemporary romance are Allison Wells and Lori DeJong. Can’t wait to read those posts!
Thanks Jenny. I can’t wait to host you again. I keep hearing Lori’s are really good. I’m planning to check her out.
I love romantic suspense , with authors like Darlene L . Turner , Dana Mentink , Maggie K. Black , Valerie Hansen , and Shannon Vanatter to name a few .
Hey Patrice. I’ve got several RS authors in the lineup. Thanks for adding me to your list.
I love Romantic Suspense! I haven’t read Sara Davison and Cindy Bonds yet.
I enjoy stories by these authors: Tanya Eavenson, Sarah Hamaker, Sherri Stewart, Barbara M. Britton.
Hey Natalya. Glad I could introduce to some new authors. I wish I had time to read all the authors I host.
Leagh Matthews
This will be Leagh’s first time on my blog. So she’s new to me today.
Lana Christian, Ellen E. Withers, Carrie Walker, Tonya B. Ashley, Rebecca Carey Lyles, Justina Prima, Linda Hoover, and Cindy Bonds are all authors new to me. I am always interested in Historical Romance first.
Hey Roxanne. I’ve known Ellen for years from Arkansas writers conferences. I was thrilled to see her get published. The same with Tonya B. Ashley and Cindy Bonds. We used to be in the same writer’s group.
What a list of authors!!! Great job, Shannon. I look forward to reading a lot of these books!
Thanks Jennifer. And thanks for supporting authors.
For Sophia’s Heart (Novella)
(Northwoods Past #1) by Lyn Cote
Winter Homecoming: Sophia’s Daughter (Northwoods Past #2) by Lyn Cote
For Sophia’s Heart, a Novella I would have loved to see expanded to a full very long novel!
Hey Kathleen, I’m on the fence about novellas. I enjoy them. But I always wish they were longer.
This is exciting as there are quite a few new to me authors on the list. Carrie Walker, Tonya B. Ashley, Rebecca Carey Lyles, Justina Prima, Linda Hoover, and Cindy Bonds are some of the new to me authors.
Hey Cherie. I’ve edited some of Cindy Bond’s books. If you like Romantic Suspense, she spins a great tale. As I’ve said before, I wish I had time to read all the authors on my blog.
There are a whole lot of new-to-me authors on here. Probably my favorite of the ones I do know is Tara Johnson. I love historical fiction!
Yay, Kim!!!! My blog is doing its job. Tara is a c real sweetie. We used to be in the same writers group.
I have a winner! Janice Shearer won the drawing. I appreciate everyone for stopping by.
