Want to Be the First to Read My Next Book?
Friends, I have some exciting news to share! My brand-new Christmas novella, A Place to Belong (Book 5.5 in the Discerning God’s Best series), is releasing November 18, 2025, and I’d love to invite YOU to be part of the launch in a very special way.
How? By becoming an ARC reader!
Wait…What’s an ARC Reader?
ARC stands for Advanced Reader Copy. In simple terms, ARC readers get to see my book before it’s released to the public. You’ll receive a free early eBook copy, and in return, I ask you to do a few small but mighty things:
- Read the story (hopefully with a cozy blanket and mug of cocoa in hand).
- Leave an honest review on sites like Amazon, Goodreads, and BookBub.
- Share a post or two on your social media to help spread the word.
That’s it! Easy, fun, and incredibly impactful.
Why ARC Readers Matter
I don’t measure success by numbers. I measure it by hearts touched. Every time you leave a review, it encourages someone else to pick up the book. That might be the very moment they encounter this story of redemption, grace, and God’s love.
ARC readers aren’t “just” readers…you’re partners in this ministry of words. You help bring the story to life outside of the pages by introducing it to friends, family, and readers across the world.
Interested? Here are some details:
About the Story
Some fresh starts begin in silence…others begin with a baby’s cry.
Josephine Keller arrives in Shumard Oak Bend with nothing but secrets and the weight of her past. Jeremiah Remington, a war veteran marked by loss, has stopped believing in second chances. But when their paths cross, a marriage of convenience might be the only way forward.
As snow falls and Christmas nears, both must decide: will regret hold them captive, or will they risk opening their hearts to the God who restores what feels beyond repair?
By the way, if you read Healing of the Heart, you met Josephine who was one of Teddy’s roommates. And if you read Written on My Heart, you met Jeremiah who helped solve the mystery.
