This week at the Borrowed Book and Colonial Quills

Colonial Quills first, this time:

And at The Borrowed Book, the wonderful Elizabeth Ludwig is the featured author, talking about her newest release, Dark Road Home. Other highlights:
Elizabeth--known as Lisa to those of us who have known her in writing circles--graciously invited me to be a part of The Borrowed Book late last year, and after much prayer and angst, I regretfully declined ... only to find months later that she'd never gotten my response! At that point, circumstances had shifted, so I accepted the devotional spot and ... here we are. Her historical novel promises to be a wonderful read, and I'm looking forward to it!

Please check back for details on how to enter, and where you can read more about the various stories in this very fun romance novella collection. And without further ado, may I introduce you to ... The Highwayman. Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee Bachelor's Name, Age, Occupation – Samuel Wheeler, early 20’s, apprentice wagonmaster (and handler of oxen --hence the adorable plush calf in the gift basket, from Colonial Williamsburg!) Visual inspiration: if you can imagine a young, blond Sean Astin, reminiscent of his role of Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings, only decked out in colonial working-man's wear, with long hair pulled back in a queue, you'd have a good approximation of Sam Wheeler. A Smith Shoeing an Ox (Dujardin: Wiki) Story Setting/Era – the Shenandoah Valley, along the Great Wagon Road that

Shenandoah Hearts by Carrie Fancett Pagels

This week I'm featuring the first novella in The Backcountry Brides Collection, titled Shenandoah Hearts, by the woman who started it all! Carrie Fancett Pagels founded the team blog Colonial Quills 7 years ago this month (we celebrate TOMORROW with another tea party), and an all-colonial novella collection has been her dream for quite a while now.
