I really need to come down & visit you so you can show me all those sights in person.
I love that old house & it looks terrific on the White Pearls cover. Can’t wait to hold a copy!

Regina Merrick says
OK, you’re just whetting my appetite for this story even more. Sigh. And how could anyone resist your plug on Twitter? 😉
Shannon Taylor Vannatter says
Hi Marianne,
It was fun to write. I love taking seemingly irredeemable characters and letting God redeem them.
Regina,
I was hoping that tweet would garner some interest. This book was the most fun to write so far.
Sylvia M. says
Shannon, I was wondering if “White Doves” is in the regular bookstores yet. I see that CBD only has “White Roses” so far.
Shannon Taylor Vannatter says
Hi Sylvia,
You should be able to find White Doves around April or May in stores, Amazon, and CBD.
Sylvia M. says
OK, thanks. I was telling my sister to keep a look out for it at the Christian bookstore near her work, but I’ll let her know it’s not there yet.
Penny Nichols says
Shannon, This book sounds great. I love when a author follows a whole series of books within the same community or area so the reader can get to know all the characters and their interdynamics just like a close knit family, or church family. My sister won your book just recently and really enjoyed reading this book. But she lives in Texas and I in Michigan so too far away to share until she come to visit this summer. Two of my sister and I are avid readers and we do share great book. I came acrossed a series a couple years ago I just loved. There were actually 15 book in all. I found 6 of them but couldnt come up with the rest. Between the three of us we were able to get them all and share. I hardest part was not telling the others what happened in the other books before we all read them. It was funny because we were talking about the characters like we personally knew them and my husband thought we were talking about people from our family that he had never met. LOL, The three of us also do geneology so his assumption could have been corret.
Sylvia M. says
Penny, I love long series with interconnecting characters. Robin Jones Gunn is wonderful at doing that. What is this series?
Shannon Taylor Vannatter says
Penny,
Thanks for the compliment. This book was really fun to write and I enjoyed tying up all the loose ends in the other two books. I’ll miss these characters. I love when an author gets me so hooked that I talk about the characters like they’re real and think about them long after I’ve finished the book. I’m so glad you sister pointed you here.
