  8. Oooh -- that first article about small shifts in Christian Fiction had me worried until I read it. Excited about some of the books they mentioned in the article, and since I love most genres (as long as it's Christian fiction) I'm happy to genre hop for my favourite authors! It all sounds very rejuvenating.

    And I didn't read Friday's post until later in the evening but can I squeal here about Erica Vetsch writing a Regency series. Sqqquuuueaaalll. This has been a whirlwind Regency week for me as I discovered that an author I thought wrote secular romance actually writes Christian Fiction and sweet romance -- all Regency!!!! Squealll! Plus I discovered that Camille Elliott has a few books out that I missed. I'd been dutifully checking for her books periodically after I read Prelude for a Lord and she has a few that are now in paperback including a Christmas one. Woot! I'm in a dizzying state of Regency Euphoria!

    Happy Weekending everyone!

    1. Yay, Kav! I've been on a Regency reading kick myself...I blame Mary Connealy for introducing me to a few new authors. That's what inspired me to take a shot at writing Regency.

    2. Kav, that was an interesting article, wasn't it?

      Regency Euphoria.... Oh mylanta, you've got me laughing!!!

  12. Happy Weekend, everyone. I am spending much of it with family. All of my siblings are back in Nebraska this weekend. It is good to be able to spend this time with my dad as it was 6 months ago today that my mom passed away and Tuesday would have been their anniversary. I will be spending that evening with my dad as well. So good family time.

    Ruthy, I am so enjoying the Guideposts Martha's Vineyard series. I knew you must have another one coming out soon. No need to put me in. I will watch for it in my mailbox.
