Welcome
Come on in and make yourself at home. I’m glad you’re here.
I don’t know about you, but I find the pace of life hectic. A few minutes of quiet with my Bible in front of me and in prayer keeps me centered, starts my day off right. Then I sit at my computer and travel into America’s past, spinning stories for Steeple Hill that I hope will touch the hearts of my readers. I believe in love stories that grab people from the first page and carry them along the sometimes rocky journey of maintaining faith in trying circumstances.
A huge thanks to my readers for your lovely e-mails. I'm delighted you enjoyed reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Enjoy your visit!
God bless you.
Janet

Fleeing an arranged marriage, debutante Elizabeth Manning exchanges places with a mail-order bride bound for New Harmony, Iowa. Life on the frontier can’t be worse than forced wedlock to pay her father’s gambling debts. But Ted Logan’s rustic lifestyle and rambunctious children prove to be more of a challenge than Elizabeth expects. She doesn’t know how to be a mother or a wife. She doesn’t even know how to tell Ted the truth about her past—especially as her feelings for him grow. Little does she know, Ted’s hiding secrets of his own, and when their pasts collide, there’s more than one heart at stake. |
