Pre-Order Uncharted Peace (Uncharted, #13)

Great news! I finished writing Uncharted Peace several weeks before schedule!

Yep, Book 13 in the Uncharted series is now in the production phase. Kindle readers can already pre-order the ebook on Amazon. (I will let you paperback and large print readers know as soon as those versions can be ordered.)

So, instead of the planned summer release, this next installment in the Uncharted series will be available March 19, 2024.

And that is more than just a random date. I picked it because it’s the very important March equinox. If you’ve read many of the Uncharted books, you know why!

The March equinox is the spring equinox (first day of spring) for us in the Northern Hemisphere, but for the Southern Hemisphere, which includes the Land, it’s the autumn equinox.

According to the lore of the Land, the only time anyone has entered the Land was on their autumn equinox. So, it makes sense that our next visit to the Land should be on that date as well.

In fact, if the Lord allows, I want to make the equinox each March a release date for the Uncharted series.

My incredibly talented cover designer, Najla Qamber, created an exquisite cover for Uncharted Peace. I don’t normally like much of the cover model’s face to show because I want readers to get to fill in some details for themselves, but this woman looks so much like Lena, I couldn’t refuse.

And here is a little about the story…

Lena Vestal enjoys spending her days cooking for her siblings and her nights curled up with a good book… or a letter from Philip Roberts, the overseer of Falls Creek and only man ever to capture her heart. It’s safe to dream of a future with him while she is still sheltered by the older brother and sister who raised her. When Philip’s final letter announces his forthcoming arrival to take her to Falls Creek, Lena must leave all that is familiar to make her dream a reality.

Philip Roberts takes his duties as the overseer of Falls Creek seriously, not only to please God but also to prove his competence. Having been in the pastoral position for two years, Philip’s dissertation is anticipated by all the overseers of the Land, particularly his father. Producing a work of great merit would prove his worth, as would setting an excellent example of holy matrimony in his church.

Lena’s yearning for the security of Philip’s love compels her to spend a month without her siblings at the isolated Inn at Falls Creek. To prepare for their nuptials, Philip informs her the Land’s tradition requires they compare family lineage. When she receives hers from her sister, a shocking secret about her true origins means she must choose between protecting her family and marrying the man of her dreams.

And when Philip’s published book is distributed before he can check it, both feel their hopes dissolve.

But at the Inn at Falls Creek, no one is alone and everyone is worthy.

Introducing Uncharted Grace (Uncharted, #12)

 

Can two newcomers with shattered pasts and buried secrets find love in the village of Good Springs?

An inherited orchard offers a fresh start in a new village for social butterfly Caroline Vestal. She believes Good Springs is where she will finally find a soulmate, but building a genuine relationship means being honest—even with the family secret that could ruin her new life before it begins.

With his relaxed manner, professional expertise, and dapper appearance, physician Jedidiah Cotter makes a good first impression in his new village. Once the Good Springs elder council officially titles him, he can establish his career and be safe from the obligation to return to his crooked family’s business back home. But when the council unexpectedly stalls the process, Jedidiah must discover the cause and quickly find a cure.

Though Caroline is smitten with the dashing new physician who lives across the road from the orchard house, his attraction to her drives him to ask questions she isn’t prepared to answer. If she trusts the wrong person with the shocking truth about her family’s past, she could lose the inheritance and the man she loves.

Uncharted Grace weaves past and future in a faith-filled story of life in a hidden land. If you enjoy the rural setting of frontier romance and the wholesomeness of Amish fiction, you’ll adore Uncharted Grace.

Uncharted Grace (#12) is coming July 2023!
