Book #3 of 50 States, 50 Books, 50 Days ...

Today we have Amelia C. Adams' book, Hope of New Jersey. Book #3 in the American Mail-Order Bride Series. Here's what Hope's story is all about!


Hope Middleton was all but thrown away by the family that was supposed to care for her. Now on her own, she loses her job when the factory where she worked burned to the ground. With no other alternatives, she answers an advertisement for a mail-order bride and travels to Newark, New Jersey, expecting a simple life in a quiet community. Instead, she is thrown into the middle of the dark mystery that surrounds her enigmatic fiancé, with only the chance of falling in love as her saving grace. 

This retelling brings the drama of a Bronte classic together with the romance of a mail-order bride novella.

When a fire destroys the factory where Willow Miller works, her only choice for a secure future comes through becoming a mail-order bride to ex-Amish, Amos Stoltzfus, and moving to her ancestral home of Pennsylvania. Hope carries her forward into a new life, but guilt over her part in the fire that destroyed the factory threatens to hold her back. 

Amos Stoltzfus is overjoyed to bring someone as sweet and special as Willow into his life to recapture a sense of family and love that he has been missing. But Amos has a past of his own and unresolved conflict with his neighbor and former best friend, Mark Lapp, that stands in the way of family, happiness, and the community around him. 

Can Willow help resolve the pain and heal the breach that divides Amos from his community and his culture, or will her troubles stand in the way of her and Amos’s happiness?

History in the Making! 50 states, 50 books, 50 days!

Today marks the beginning of the American Mail-Order Bride series. The brain-child of Kirsten Osbourne, best known for her Brides of Beckham Series. Here's Kirsten's story of how it all got started:

I have to start with how the project came about. I was chatting on Facebook with a relatively new writer, Cindy Caldwell, back in May. In fact, she was working on writing her first mail-order bride romance. Something she said triggered an idea in my brain. I've been telling her she threw the idea into my head for six months now! Not sure why she puts up with me...
Well, she agreed to take a leadership role in the whole process, and we conscripted poor Ashley Merrick. (She's probably still wondering how she got roped into this!) Without the two of them, this project never would have happened. I'm so glad they were at my side throughout! It never would have happened, especially this quickly, without the two of them.
Anyway, the idea was to have a project on a bigger scale than I've seen done before. Maybe take a bunch (oh, 45) of authors and invite them to write connected stories. Like, fifty connected books. So we thought about how we could do it. Poor girl was stuck helping me on the project from that day forward.
We came up with the idea of having fifty mail-order bride romances, one for each state of the Union. We weren't sure if we could get enough authors, but that part was easy! Now I know you are wondering why we think 45=50. I promise it's not common core math. We're above that. We had five authors each take two states. Which is how 45=50 in our eyes. We call it Pioneer Hearts Math!
All of the books will be released a day apart, starting November 19th, 2015. They will go through January 7th, 2016. We'll be releasing them in the order the states joined the Union, starting with Kit Morgan writing about Delaware, and going all the way through Janelle Daniels writing about Hawaii. The stories take place in 1890-1891. They all have a common theme, which starts in a little garment factory in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in September of 1890.

We have a website with the prequel and all of the covers. Anyone interested in seeing the covers? Reading the prequel?

So here we go, folks! Start with Lottie which can be found on amazon then enjoy a book a day for the next fifty days! Each day I'll be posting the book of the day, so be watching!

Summer into Fall, Reading into ... MORE READING!

Alas, summer will soon be passing into the fall months. Some folks have even got the itch to bake things already!  This, of course, means that as the weather slowly turns, we'll all be heading inside to read more. Yes, yes, as opposed to reading outside, but reading is reading!  I didn't get a chance to do much myself this summer. I read a little on flights between writer's conferences and home, and a little while camping. But to sit down and have the luxury of devouring a book until it's done ... hasn't happened yet. Soon, I hope. I did pick up a lot of books at the Romance Writers of America Conference, so woo hoo!  But between now and my TBD date for being a complete and total unabashed book monger, I thought I'd share what I have coming up for you!  For those of you who don't subscribe to my newsletter (oh the shame! You should pop over to my website right now and remedy that!) Justin's Runaway Bride (Dalton Brides, Book Eight) is available for pre-order! Everyone keeps asking me about pre-orders, so I thought I'd do one. They're kinda fun!  In the mean time I'm working on Benjamin's story. Yes, yes, Benjamin Weaver! Boy, has he got his hands full!  Once I'm done with him I have to switch gears and turn into my alter-ego, Geralyn Beauchamp, and work on the infamous TM3 as it's referred to. Short for Time Master's Book Three The Legacy. 

Finding a model for Dallan MacDonald hasn't been easy, but I think I've narrowed it down to dear

Will somebody please make her stop?!?!?!?!

Harvey Stables, who was kind enough to pose with my daughter Hana during the Romance Writers of America Conference. I told Hana to act just like Kitty Morgan, and lo and behold, if Harvey didn't react the way Dallan would. Tee hee hee! Poor man.  Kim Killion, my designer, and her assistant Jennifer Jakes demonstrated a cover model shoot to a standing room only audience, complete with one live cover model, as opposed to a not so live one I suppose. (Rest assurred, Harvey is alive and well and doing fine.) and a good time was had by all. 
 I'll be working on TM3 while traveling, which should be interesting to say the least, as my characters will be doing some traveling of their own...

What comes after I'm done writing TM3? More westerns of course!  Kitty Morgan will have to get back to work and delve into Calvin Weaver's story! And before too many Weavers get a tale told about them, someone else needs a turn. Can you guess who it is????? While you're guessing, I have three new audio books out. Again, if you get my newsletter, you know this already, and I'm working on proofing His Prairie Sweetheart now. And boy oh boy! I think this is my new favorite. My narrator's rendition of Logan Kincaid is great! Hubba, hubba, hubba! I can't wait for you all to hear it!  I guess that's it for now. Until next time, and here are the links for the pre-order of Justin's Runaway Bride!
