ABOVE RUBIES Available Now!


GUYS!!! I am so excited about this release! As I wrote Above Rubies, the story gripped my heart. Olivia's unique struggle forced me to write things I never dreamed I'd write. And Gabe... well, you'll have to meet Gabe for yourself. Actually, if you read Aboard Providence, you've met these two, but it was a superficial meeting. Their depth and strength has left an indelible mark on my soul. I hope you will be captured by their story too.

Here's a little about Above Rubies:

It’s 1863, and schoolteacher Olivia Owens believes education should be a top priority in the newly established settlement of Good Springs. Between planning lessons and helping out on her family’s homestead, Olivia doesn’t have time for Gabriel McIntosh’s charming advances. When the council denies her request to build a schoolhouse, Olivia must challenge their ruling and teach private lessons—all while hiding frequent bouts of word blindness (dyslexia). If the council knew the new teacher couldn’t always read, they wouldn’t allow Olivia to teach anymore.

As a carpenter, Gabe McIntosh is working hard to help build the settlement of Good Springs, and once his land is granted, he begins constructing his own house. When Olivia discovers he plans to share it with her, she guards her heart from him. But Gabe is determined to win her affection and figure out what she’s hiding.


Above Rubies is now available in paperback and on Kindle. You can order a signed copy from my website. The audiobook will be available by summer. 

I can't wait to share this journey with you!

Cover Reveal! Frozen Flames by Lara Whatley

Lara Whately's upcoming YA release, Frozen Flames, sounds exciting. Check out the summary:

Lexi would give anything to have those minutes back—the minutes when she’d stood inside the fence, waiting for the clock to tick down on that stupid dare. If she hadn’t stayed—hadn’t gone in the first place—she wouldn’t be in this mess. 

But she had, and she was. And now things were different. 

Very different. 

When you wake up one day with a whole range of new abilities, life gets interesting quick. You can fly, disappear, and shoot deadly flames from your finger tips. Suddenly, being an orphan who’s forced to live at your high school seems like no big deal. Now your biggest worry is that people have started to notice. And they won’t seem to leave you alone. 

For Lexi, navigating this new world is no easy task. Can she control her abilities? Whom can she trust? Has she said goodbye to ‘normal’ forever?
 
Are you ready to see the beautiful cover for Lara Whatley's new release?
