day! It’s another book release day. But not just any book release. It’s the
release of <b><i>Finally His Bride</i></b>, the first book in Bride Ships: New
Voyages which is a spin-off series of my previous fan-favorite Bride Ships
series.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1;">Similar to the first series, the new books involve brides sailing from
England to Vancouver Island for the purpose of finding employment and husbands.
Why did these women leave their homes for an unknown land? Why not just marry
men in England?</span></p>
<p class="textfirst" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> <br /></span></p><p class="textfirst" style="text-align: left;">
</p><p class="textfirst"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Part of that had to do with
the fact that by the early 1860s, there were 600,000 more women than men living
in England. The opposite problem existed in English colonies where men
outnumbered women. An 1861 census of Vancouver Island and British Columbia
revealed that females comprised only 11 percent of the total population, which
meant that men outnumbered women approximately 10 to 1. Thus to many, it seemed
only reasonable to begin sending England’s surplus of marriageable women to the
colonies to provide wives for the many men who wanted them.</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Happy Holidays!
And Happy Book Release Day!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Today <b><i>Calling on the
Matchmaker</i></b> hits shelves! This is the first book of my new Matchmaker series!</span><span class="formatted"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 1.4pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 2.7pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1;">There will be four
books in this saga involving the Shanahan family in the frontier city of St.
Louis, Missouri in late 1840s. The Shanahans are a loving family with
six children. The oldest are reaching marriageable age, so the local matchmaker
is called upon to help form advantageous matches. Even though the Irish
matchmaker is wily, he still faces challenges as he seeks to pair each of the
Shanahan siblings with their true loves.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">While this series is set in a different
time and place than my recent western series, rest
assured the new books are still full of the toe-curling romance that
readers have come to expect from my stories. You will not be disappointed!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s what a few early readers are

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Another book, <b>CHRISTMAS
BELLS AND WEDDING VOWS</b>, hits shelves today! Yes, that makes two book
releases this September—for those who are counting!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This book is truly very special! It’s
a Christmas book just in time to get you into the Christmas spirit! Because let’s
be honest, Christmas seems to come sooner and sooner every year. (The stores
around me put out Christmas stuff in August now!)</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Whatever your preference for when
you like to get into the Christmas spirit, make sure to check out <b>CHRISTMAS
BELLS AND WEDDING VOWS</b>! </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Another reason this book is special
is because it has not just one Christmas story but THREE! I had the privilege of
collaborating with two other wonderful historical romance authors—<a href="https://mistymbeller.com/" target="_blank">Misty Beller</a> and <a href="https://lacywilliams.net/" target="_blank">Lacy Williams</a>. They both write sweet, closed-bedroom door romances, with
uplifting and inspirational values. And I have no doubt you’ll enjoy their stories
too!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The final reason this book is
special is because it involves two characters that make an appearance in my
<a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/series/colorado-cowgirls/" target="_blank">Colorado Cowgirl </a>series. So if you weren’t quite ready for the Cowgirl series
to come to an end, then don’t miss this story. You’ll get to go back to
Fairplay and spend a little more time there.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">For those who haven’t read any
books in my Colorado Cowgirl series, have no fear! This newest addition,
<a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/claiming-the-cowgirl-a-sweet-historical-romance-novella/" target="_blank"><i>Claiming the Cowgirl</i></a> (my story inside <b>CHRISTMAS BELLS AND WEDDING VOWS</b>),
is a standalone book, one you’ll completely understand and enjoy by itself. </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If I haven’t convinced you yet on
how special the book is, let me tell you one last thing about it. Each of the
three stories, have to do with marriages of convenience. So if
you love a good marriage of convenience story (and I do!), then you’re in for a
treat to get three!</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">It’s time for
another book release! <b><i>Captivated by the Cowgirl</i></b> is now available!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Recently over on Instagram, a
reader asked me what book has been my favorite to write. And guess what I
answered? Yep, you got it! <b><i>Captivated by the Cowgirl</i></b>!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">The reason this book was so much
fun was because I absolutely loved creating the witty banter between the hero
and heroine. The hero really lays on the charm. The heroine does her best to
resist that charm. And in the middle of it all is lots of bantering with
plenty of romantic tension!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">In addition to the fun dialogue, I
also loved writing <b><i>Captivated by the Cowgirl</i></b> because it was my
first venture into writing about royalty. Yes, one of the tropes in this book
is secret royals! The hero is a prince who is trying to hide from an assassin and
just happens to choose the remote mountain town up in the middle-of-nowhere in
Fairplay, Colorado.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">I invite you to run out and grab
your copy of the book today and get ready for a wild but fun adventure! If you
don’t take my word for it, here’s what some of my readers are saying:</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">“This was probably
the most playful of the series. Take a cowgirl, add in a charmer, and have them
beware of an assassination plot = fast paced and fun read.”</span></i></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></i></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">“This book was so
cute and totally swoony! I absolutely LOVED the incredible banter between
Felicity and Philip. Honestly, I could read it again and again. It was so
electric.”</span></i></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></i></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">“The banter that went back in forth
had me laughing and blushing at the same time. I love this book. A must read.
Jody Hedlund has become my favorite author, hands down!”</span></i></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Are you ready for
another sweet but sizzling western romance? Then you’re in luck, because <b><i>Convincing
the Cowgirl</i></b> is now available! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Although it’s the third book in my
Colorado Cowgirl Series, I assure you that you won’t feel lost if you read it
as a standalone (without having read any others in the series yet). But why not
read the other books first!? I guarantee that you’ll love them too!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">What makes <b><i>Convincing the
Cowgirl</i></b> so special? It’s a <b>marriage of convenience</b> story, that’s
what! If you’ve read any of my other series, you’ll soon learn that I LOVE the <b>marriage
of convenience</b> trope and almost always include it in at least one book per
series. </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Marriage of
convenience</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">
stories are so much fun to write because the storyline puts the hero and
heroine together in forced proximity which allows them to develop their relationship
and learn more about each other more quickly.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Marriages of
convenience</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">
also cause awkward scenarios which allow for increased romantic tension. For
example, in <b><i>Convincing the Cowgirl</i></b>, the newlywed couple has to
decide their sleeping arrangements. They don’t talk about it at first, and so
the heroine naturally expects that her new husband will want to share the
marriage bed and crawls in beside him. He, however, is closed off to love and
intimacy and assumes they’ll have separate rooms. When he finds her in bed
beside him, what will he do? You’ll have to read the book to find out!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Marriage of
convenience</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">
stories also make the reader wonder how the couple will fall in love. Obviously
since they’re already married, the question is not necessarily will the hero
and heroine end up together, but HOW will they learn to overcome their obstacles
and fall in love. The <i>journey</i> (and not the <i>destination</i>) to true
love becomes the focus of the story.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">So, what are you waiting for?! Go
enjoy a <b>marriage of convenience</b> story today!</span></p>

another book releasing and that really does make TWO new books in one month!
Both are a part of my newest historical romance series, the Colorado Cowgirls.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Committing to the
Cowgirl </span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">released
just a couple of weeks ago. If you missed it, then go here: <a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/committing-to-the-cowgirl-a-sweet-historical-romance/" target="_blank">http://jodyhedlund.com/books/committing-to-the-cowgirl-a-sweet-historical-romance/</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now <b><i>Cherishing
the Cowgirl</i></b> is available! It’s a sweet but sizzling romance full of
lots of favorite tropes including:<span class="a-list-item"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">grumpy-sunshine, cranky billionaire, crusty boss, rags-to-riches,
fairytale, and class differences. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Two books in one month?</b> Is that
really possible for an author to do without compromising the quality of the
books? (And two more next month? For a total of four books in such a short
time?)</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Let me reassure you as a
perfectionist that compromising quality is simply not something I’m willing to
do! All the books in the series have been thoroughly edited and sent out to
beta readers as well.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The reason I’m able to release the
books so rapidly is that I waited until ALL the books were written, edited, and
ready for publication in one batch (rather than writing and publishing one before
starting on the next). </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Why did I opt for a rapid release
strategy?</b> There are many reasons, actually. A primary one is that I have a short
window of time from when my final Colorado Cowboy book released in February to
when I start a new, not-Western series in December. It made sense to release
the Cowgirl books shortly after the Cowboy series since they’re related. </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The quick release will also give
readers the opportunity to read an entire series over the summer without having
to wait so long between books. In addition, it will give me a chance to look at
marketing trends, rankings, and visibility with books that release closer
together.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">So there you have it! Now, go indulge
yourself with a fun romance series full of all the feels! </span></p>

sweet but sizzling romance full of lots of favorite tropes including: pretend
courtship, fake engagement, childhood sweethearts, meddling mother, co-workers
in proximity, and bargain benefits both.</span><span class="formatted"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><i><b>Committing to the Cowgirl </b></i>involves a minor character
from the previous series, Astrid Nilsson, who is returning to Fairplay,
Colorado after years away at medical school. Now a doctor, she’s responding to
an advertisement to join a medical practice as the second doctor. Little does
she realize the physician already there is her childhood sweetheart, Logan
Steele, who once broke her heart.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If you enjoy sweet, closed-bedroom
romances that still contain a bit of sizzle, then you’ll probably like this
series. While some of my others series are more serious and involve deeper Christian
themes, this series is lighter on the inspirational message and heavier on the
romance.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s what a few early readers are
saying about this romance: </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="formatted"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I
was super excited for this new series, and it did not disappoint.</span></i></span><span class="readable"><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></i></span><span class="formatted"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The
romance was sweet, and I read this book so quickly!”</span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="formatted"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="formatted"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The romance between Logan and Astrid
was fiery with a passionate undercurrent. While everything is kept clean, there
are definitely some kisses that’ll scorch your kindle.”</span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="formatted"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></i></span></p>

loved their chemistry, and it was entertaining how things spiraled for them

BIRTHDAY! Yay! (Throws confetti!)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">WAIT FOR ME</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">, another book in
my time travel series, hits shelves today! If you’ve read (or watched) the Outlander
series, then you’ll probably enjoy this book, especially if you’re looking for a
closed-door, sweet romance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Have you ever wanted
to travel through time and discover what it was really like to live in another
era? I have! But only if I could go back for just a little visit and then
return to my comforts of the modern era!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">But time traveling?
Is it really possible?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In my Waters of
Time series, one of my goals was to make time traveling seem believable. As I
researched time traveling, I learned that ancient holy water and comas both
caused people to have realistic visions. So I combined the two and used that as
my method for the time crossing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s what a
couple of readers had to say about it:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“<span class="readable"><i>The whole concept of holy water as a vehicle for time travel
is built strongly and simply and in such detail that it's not only a
fascinating concept to think about but completely easy to believe within the
world of this series.”</i></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="readable"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="readable"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I
was once again captured by the thought and wonder of whether or not there
really is such a thing as “Holy Water.” Could it really heal someone or give
them the power to travel back in time?</span></i></span><i>”</i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">If you haven’t
read any of the other books in the series, what are you waiting for!? 😁 Either way, though, you can still read <b>WAIT
FOR ME</b> as a standalone. While it references a few characters from previous
books, the story (and time traveling details) are easy to follow.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">This book like the
rest in the series is slightly heavier on the sizzle (compared with my regular
historical romances). The passion and chemistry between the characters is
heated, but as I mentioned, it remains closed-door and sweet. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Early reviews are
rolling in and readers are saying this:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“</span></i><span class="readable"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">As always, Ms. Hedlund writes
romantic chemistry between her hero and heroine that practically sizzled off
the page</span></i></span><i>.”</i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i> </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“T</span></i><span class="readable"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">he attraction between Dawson and

Day! And Happy Book Release Day!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I honestly can’t
remember ever having a book release on Valentine’s Day before, so that’s kind
of exciting! Because, if you’ve read any of my books, you know I’m BIG on
romance. I love it, and it oozes from my books!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The same is true
of my new release, <b><i>The Last Chance Cowboy</i></b>. It’s a sweet but
sizzling romance full of lots of favorite tropes including: Marriage of
Convenience, Mistaken Identity, Unexpected Baby, and more.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Last Chance
Cowboy</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">
is essentially a redemption story for Dylan, who is the prodigal son turned sheriff.
He’s back home after years of wild living and is doing his best to put his past
behind him. So, he's in for a surprise when a woman shows up on his doorstep claiming that she has his baby.<br /></span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As a midwife, Catherine, the
heroine of <b><i>The Last Chance Cowboy</i></b>, is also struggling with a redemption
story of her own. Since she’s been accused of a crime that she didn’t commit,
she’s on the run from dangerous criminals. When she arrives in Fairplay and the
sheriff proposes marriage, she thinks she might have found a solution to all
her problems. She soon realizes that problems always have a way of catching up
to a person . . .</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here’s what a few early readers are
saying about this romance: </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The book was unputdownable! It is one of those books you
want to keep reading but at the same time you want to slow down because you
never want it to end.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“This book is full of love and forgiveness, plenty of
flirtatiousness and heart pounding kisses. Dylan is such a sweet talker, I
can’t blame any woman for falling for him! This book pulls on all the
heartstrings.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>

Jody Hedlund writes them. You can be guaranteed clean heat, passion in spades,
and lots of charm and wooing. Dylan’s ‘darlin’ had my heart melting.”</i></span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Merry Christmas!
And merry book release!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">STAY WITH ME</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">, the
long-anticipated sequel in my Waters of Time series, hits shelves today! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">The previous two
books, <b><i>Come Back to Me</i></b> and <b><i>Never Leave Me</i></b>, are a
pair and involve the Creighton family with sisters, Marian and Ellen, each
getting a book.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">This newest book, <b>STAY
WITH ME</b> takes readers on a new adventure with a new family, the Huxhams. Siblings
Sybil and Dawson each get an adventure in the Middle Ages. <b>STAY WITH ME</b>
is Sybils story. And Dawson’s journey, <b><i>Wait For Me</i></b>, releases in
May of 2023.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Essentially <b>STAY
WITH ME</b> is a standalone with references to previous characters from earlier
books, but none are integral to understanding the plot. So if you pick up this book
without having read the previous ones, you’ll be fine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Similar to the
other books in the Waters of Time series, <b>STAY WITH ME</b> takes place in
both the present and the past with the element of time-crossing a prominent
feature. Ancient holy water combined with a coma is still the vehicle for time
traveling. And, of course, going into the past remains very dangerous,
including the possibility of never recovering from the coma. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">This book like the
rest in the series is slightly heavier on the sizzle (compared with my regular
historical romances). The passion and chemistry between the characters is
heated, but it all remains clean. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Early reviews are
rolling in and readers are saying this: </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“With a spell-binding plot and a romance that sizzles off
the page, readers will gladly get lost within Sybil and Nicholas' story. I
absolutely loved the hero! Definitely one of my top book heroes.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>

series! Sybil & Nicholas were such intriguing characters from the previous
books and were just begging for their stories to be told. This book does not
disappoint! I admit I stayed up past 1:30 am reading because it was so hard to
put down.” </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>

down. It captivated me with its suspenseful and intriguing storyline,
intelligent writing, great characters, nonstop action, and clean but intense
romance. As soon as I finished, I was ready to re-read it again.”</i> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Another sweet but sizzling cowboy romance hits shelves
this month! <i><b>Falling for the Cowgirl</b></i> is now available!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is a standalone novel in the
McQuaid family saga, which means you don’t have to read the other books in the series for this one
to make sense. But I have a hunch you’ll love all of the McQuaid stories, so do
yourself a favor and start with Book #1, <i>A Cowboy for Keeps</i>.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"><i><b>Falling for the Cowgirl</b></i> is the
story of Ivy, the only girl in the McQuaid clan. As a result of being the lone female, she’s quite the tomboy. In fact, at the start of the story, she’s
participating in cowhand competitions (the old-fashioned way of saying rodeo),
but since women aren’t allowed to be involved, she’s disguised herself as a young
man.</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Well of course, the dashing hero,
Jericho shows up at a competition and recognizes her behind her disguise! And boy-howdy,
does he have a lot to say to Ivy and her involvement in the dangerous stunts.
Sparks start flying right away and never stop!</span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;">Here’s what a few early readers are
saying about this romance: </span></p>
<p class="BB-bodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The fast-paced, action-packed plot along with compelling,
memorable characters lasso your attention and keep you reading! Sizzling, but
clean, romance with lots of tension and awkward moments is delightfully
entertaining.”</span></i></p>
<p class="BB-body" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The story was fantastic, the romance was swoony, (the
second-chance romance element was so sweet!) There's hidden identities, a bit
of mystery, suspense, family, ahhh I loved it all!”</span></i></p>
<p class="BB-body" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“This story is sweet romance and delightful angst and
explosive chemistry and conflict all through, and the ending took me by
surprise. Whether or not you've read the other books in this series, you can
dive into Ivy's story and not feel behind; the author is great at setting the
stage and keeping each book in the series complete in itself.”</span></i></p>

writing this last story, I honestly didn’t know how I was going to wrap up this
series and bring all the loose ends together. </span></p>

continue the quest for the holy lamp (the relic that I introduced in book
five). I also knew I needed to have the final epic battle with King Canute
(from the neighboring country). But beyond that, I wasn’t sure how I’d be able
to bring everything to a satisfying ending.</span></p>

an external threat to the Knights of Brethren (King Canute and his army of Dark
Warriors), but I’d also thrown in an internal threat (possible betrayal from
within the tight-knit group of knights).</span></p>

But as always, I plunged forward with telling Kristoffer and Birgitta’s love
story. And somehow along the way, they took over the storytelling, led me on a
dangerous and delectable journey, and came up with an ending that defied
anything I could have imagined—oh, wait, I did imagine it! </span></p>

people. They come to life so vividly, I just let them dictate the story so that
by the time I write the climax, they’re fully in charge and somehow happen to
create an ending that satisfies me. </span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin: 0in; text-autospace: none;"><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">As a private investigator, Sybil Huxham
has seen her fair share of bizarre occurrences. But nothing in her career has
been more perplexing than the miracles she’s witnessed as a result of people
drinking ancient holy water. When she discovers more of the rare holy water,
she experiences strange overlaps with a nobleman in the Middle Ages who is
languishing in a dungeon, accused of treason and condemned to die. To save his
life, she finally crosses to the past completely.</span></i></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin: 0in; text-autospace: none;"><i><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Nicholas Worth has never met a woman quite
like Sybil, and as the two run for their lives into the Weald, they find refuge
among a community of outlaws. With both of their reputations on the line, they
have little choice but to marry. As they get to know each other, an undeniable
attraction develops. But danger and disease chase after them, drawing ever
closer. Will they be able to escape the threats? And will Sybil choose to stay
with Nicholas in the past, or will she be ripped apart from him forever?</span></i></p>

When
her wealthy father asks her to help his textile business become more
successful by marrying one of the popular Knights of Brethren, Karina
complies, ever the dutiful daughter.<br /><br />During a royal quest to find
the sacred chalice, Torvald is called home to save his family’s estate
through an arranged marriage to a wealthy maiden. Although willing to do
his duty, he’s vowed never to give his heart to anyone after watching
his father suffer heartbreak over a woman.<br /><br />As Torvald weds the
kind and lovely Karina, he resists the pull of attraction to his bride.
Even though Karina feels the sting of Torvald’s rejection, she chooses
to love him unconditionally. As he resumes his search for the chalice
and puts his life in jeopardy, Karina makes the ultimate sacrifice for
him. Will he have the chance to love her in return before it’s too late?</i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><i> </i></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitKzb70M-xYk_flpCktliGSJPQaugwjXDvdF6M6OmjlAU4v1NN0Wxn-3RTmpYAA2XgNSICm8hpVyRscLRgLH1a_lKPoKViLrXtpbhj0oSMAhJxsq_Q2H8ED8x_Qu3QgxuzWJDnxjQqZBr4TpGKwXk6_48XUsgHnjrBjxQNwOkfKvMl9SNDyYR30pp1nQ=s2612" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2612" data-original-width="1677" height="473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEitKzb70M-xYk_flpCktliGSJPQaugwjXDvdF6M6OmjlAU4v1NN0Wxn-3RTmpYAA2XgNSICm8hpVyRscLRgLH1a_lKPoKViLrXtpbhj0oSMAhJxsq_Q2H8ED8x_Qu3QgxuzWJDnxjQqZBr4TpGKwXk6_48XUsgHnjrBjxQNwOkfKvMl9SNDyYR30pp1nQ=w303-h473" width="303" /></a></div><br /></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, if you’re wondering, I have had a slew of
releases over the past few months! <b>NEVER LEAVE ME </b>is the 4<sup>th</sup> book in
four months. And it hits shelves today!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Those who read <b>COME BACK TO ME,</b> the first book in the
Waters of Time series, will be happy to know that <b>NEVER LEAVE ME</b> picks up the
story of Ellen and Harrison about a year after the first book ends. Although Ellen
and Harrison have been friends for a long time, they finally get to experience love
and adventure.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Similar to the first book, <b>NEVER LEAVE ME</b> takes place
in both the present and the past with the element of time-crossing a prominent
feature. Ancient holy water combined with a coma is still the vehicle for time
traveling. And, of course, going into the past remains very dangerous,
including the possibility of never recovering from the coma. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><b>NEVER LEAVE ME</b> is a sweet but sizzling love story with
all the feels. If you like a clean but passionate romance, then you probably
will enjoy this story. But if heavy romantic chemistry isn’t your thing, then
you’ll probably want to steer clear of this series.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">

This story carries on the tale of the Sword of the Magi (inspired by tales of Excalibur). </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">While steeped in medieval imagery, clothing, and language, this series is in a made-up country called Norvegia and has a fairy-tale feel (very similar to my other medieval YA series). It's always my goal to make everything grounded in reality so the fantasy elements seem possible.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">And as usual, the romance is front and central to the story.

the second book, ENTWINED, releases next month (Dec. 7, 2021). The next two

you might remember both were set in the same story world (just in different
eras). However, the Knights of Brethren books move the story world to a
completely new place with new people and new plots and is loosely inspired by
legends of Merlin, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.</span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>

series changes things up, there are plenty of things that remain the same:
medieval adventure, dangerous dilemmas, and plenty of sweet romance. One early
reviewer said this: “<i>This book was so good! I don’t know why I was even
worried that I wouldn’t like it because Jody Hedlund always writes amazing
books! I could not recommend it more! I am so excited for this series!”</i></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>

kicks off the series by telling the story of Maxim (based upon Merlin) who wields
his mind as a weapon (instead of magic). He and the Princess Elinor must work
together to help determine who will become the next king. Of course the story
involves an ancient sword (inspired by Excalibur). The problem is that they don’t
know if the sword will truly help or hurt them! I guess you’ll need to read the
story to find out!</span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>

cowboy romance? Then you’re in luck! <b><i>The Heart of a Cowboy</i></b> is now
available. Even though it’s the second book in the Colorado Cowboy series, it
can be read as a standalone (although I highly recommend reading <i>A Cowboy
for Keeps</i> first).</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">This story is about the second hunky McQuaid brother,
Flynn. He’s the responsible, fatherly figure who’s been taking care of his
three younger siblings and helping to raise them. After getting kicked off
their family farm, Flynn and his siblings decide to move to Colorado, leading
a big herd of cattle up to their brother's ranch in the high country.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">At the beginning of their trip, the McQuaid family
comes across a party of botanists. Amidst the group is a vivacious, beautiful,
redheaded botanist, Linnea, who captures Flynn’s attention. Of course, from the
moment they meet, lots of sparks start flying between the lovely lead couple.
And the sparks only keep getting hotter the longer they travel together down
the Santa Fe Trail to Colorado.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">But a romance would be boring if the couple
didn’t face obstacles to overcome on their journey to find lasting love. In the
end, the hardships make the relationship all the stronger and sweeter.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">Early readers have already been enjoying this new
story!

finish it! Ever since reading A Cowboy for Keeps, I have been eagerly awaiting
Flynn's story, and I was blown away. Whether it be the dynamics between
siblings or the slow burn romance, everything about this story kept me so
engaged and entertained.

series is new and changes things up from my previous two series (<a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/series/the-lost-princesses/" target="_blank">The Lost Princesses </a>and <a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/series/the-fairest-maidens/" target="_blank">The Fairest Maidens</a>, which were both set in the same story world),
there are plenty of things that remain the same: medieval adventure, dangerous
dilemmas, and plenty of sweet romance. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: times;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The first book, <b>ENAMORED,</b> sets the stage for the series and is inspired by the wizard, Merlin.
In this book, however, the character’s name is Maxim. And instead of wielding
magic, he wields his wisdom. Of course, he also wields his influence to woo the
woman he loves. If you’re familiar with my writing, then you already know you’ll
get a delicious but clean love story.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: times;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">The sequel, <b>ENTWINED</b>, is inspired by King Arthur and his
famous sword. In this book, instead of Arthur, our hero is Ansgar, a bold and handsome leader who is on
the run for his life. In the end, the Knights of Brethren (inspired by the
Knights of the Round Table) help him rise up to defeat evil and win the woman
he loves.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;"> <br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Enamored and
Entwined release later this year, 2021. The subsequent books (involving more knights
of the <b>Knights of Brethren</b>) will be released in pairs in 2022 and 2023.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;"> <br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times;">Without further

And yes, it is a slight step away from my usual historical romance.
I’ve gotten such enthusiasm from so many readers who are excited about going on this new adventure into a new genre with me. </p><p> </p><p>It has vibes similar to Gabaldon’s Outlander series and Susanna Kearsley’s <i>The Rose Garden</i>. Already early reviews are pouring in and expressing delight in the story! </p><p> </p><p>For those who don’t quite know what to think, let me reassure you that I am continuing to write my usual historical romance and my medieval young adult. I have absolutely no plans to stop! In fact, you can expect my second Colorado Cowboys book, <i>The Heart of a Cowboy</i>, to release in October (along with two more in 2022). </p><p> </p><p>And you can also expect two books in a brand new medieval YA series to release in November and December. </p><p> </p><p>But what about <a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/come-back-to-me/" target="_blank"><b><i>Come Back to Me</i></b></a>? Should you give it a chance? </p><p> </p><p>This story is about young and talented research scientist Marian Creighton. She and her father share one goal—to find a remedy that can help cure her sister Ellen of a deadly genetic disease that already stole their mother away. However, she is skeptical of her father’s methods. She feels his long-time fixation with ancient holy water and its healing properties are both crazy and a waste of time.</p><p> </p><p>But when Marian’s father falls into a coma after drinking a vial of holy water, she’s determined to test his theories for herself. However, she soon realizes that she is not the only one interested in his research. A break-in and a kidnapping convince her that she must take the plunge and follow her father back to the Middle Ages in order to save both her father and her sister. </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/come-back-to-me/" target="_blank"><b><i>Come Back to Me</i></b></a> takes readers on a wild adventure between two eras, a dangerous present with comas, car chases, and kidnappings, AND a dangerous past in the middle of a bloody peasant revolt. Amidst it all, I make sure to add in a heavy dose of the sizzling romance that readers have come to expect from my novels! </p><p> </p><p>I hope that you’ll dive into the twisting waters of time in the pages of <a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/come-back-to-me/" target="_blank"><b><i>Come Back to Me</i></b></a>.

<p>Those are the ingredients for a fun and sizzling romance! And <i><b>A Cowboy for Keeps</b></i> is just that! It’s the first book in my newest series, Colorado Cowboys, and is now available! </p><p> </p>
<p>No, I’m not switching genres and writing westerns! This new series is another historical romance with my trademark plot twists, vibrant settings, and deeply emotional characters. But this time the package includes hunky cowboys! </p><p> </p>
<p>For as much as the story delivers a satisfying and entertaining romance, the book is much more than that. It’s also a journey into the McQuaid family saga. After losing both of their parents and their family farm, four brothers and a sister move to Colorado Territory and the Wild West to begin a new chapter of their lives. The series explores what it really means to be a family, to look out for each other, remain loyal, learn to forgive, and stand together against adversity. </p><p> </p>
<p><i><b>A Cowboy for Keeps </b></i>starts with Wyatt McQuaid the oldest of the brothers. Wyatt is attempting to make a go of homesteading and ranching in Colorado’s high country in South Park. But with all the obstacles he faces, he’s having a hard time making a new home. When Fairplay’s mayor offers him a deal, one that involves taking a bride in exchange for cattle, Wyatt can’t resist. </p><p> </p>
<p>Already readers are falling in love with Wyatt and the rest of the cast of endearing characters. Here’s what a couple of readers had to say in early reviews: </p><p> </p>
<p><i>“The characters are well drawn, there are plot twists to keep you on the edge of your seat, and plenty of swoon-worthy kisses. I really enjoyed reading the book, and look forward to the next in the series!”</i></p><p> </p>
<p><i>“This book truly has it all: historical fiction, romance, suspense, a wonderful character cast, and an enthralling narrative that was addictive and entertaining until the end.” </i></p><p> </p><p>To find out more about <i><b>A Cowboy for Keeps</b></i> visit my website at <a href="http://jodyhedlund.com/books/a-cowboy-for-keeps/" target="_blank">http://jodyhedlund.com/books/a-cowboy-for-keeps/</a></p><p> </p>
