What's in a name?
For those of you who have children, do you remember the excitement (and perhaps the anxiety) that filled you as you began selecting names? It’s a weighty responsibility, knowing your child will be saddled with whatever you choose for the length of his/her life. No pressure. Ha!
Names are so important. We want our girls’ names to be beautiful and our boys’ names to be strong. Yet more than that, we Read more of this blog post »

of
If the Boot Fits (Texas Ever After, #2):
"If the Boot Fits is a delightful retelling of the Cinderella story set in the Wild West. While I was expecting a sweet historical romance, the edge of the seat suspense took me by surprise.
I found Samantha to be a fascinating blend of a warm, caring" Read more of this review » |

Faith Marshall's
question:
Hi, Faith. Fun question! I would say yes. The tale does exist in her world. When I write historical fiction, I set my characters in a realistic version of the past. And since the tale existed in real history, it would exist in hers. :-)

"A delightful Christmas story, filled with humor, true love and creative ways to show that love. The devotion at the conclusion of the book points us to the real reason for celebrating Christmas."

| Such an adorable read! After finishing this book, I broke out my sound tracks to Sound of Music and Oklahoma in honor of Penelope, and I find myself breaking out in random acts of singing. Such an upbeat story that still has depth. Highly recommended ...more | |

Hi, Holli. I'm so glad Crockett's story lived up to your expectations. I'm always nervous when a new book releases that readers won't like it as well as previous stories. Thanks for the reassurance.You'll be happy to know that Neill IS getting his own story. It's a novella, not a full-length novel, but it's coming in January, so you don't have to wait too long. It will be part of the collection titled A Match Made in Texas. Authors Mary Connealy, Regina Jennings, and Carol Cox are contributing stories as well. You're so right. I couldn't leave Neill out. :-)
Have a great week!
