Want to join
my launch team?
I am now accepting applications for downloadable ARC copies (through Bookfunnel*) of my newest standalone novel, Keeper of My Heart, my 6th book in the Discerning God’s Best Series.
You are eligible if …
- You are an individual of your word.
Accepting a copy means you are trustworthy. I’m entrusting you with a gift that took months of labor and many dollars to complete. The final weeks and days before a launch are hectic, and I need to know I can count on you without reminders.
- You leave reviews on Amazon.**
Accepting a copy means you agree to read the book before April 7, 2026, and post your review to at least two major sites: Amazon** after release day AND either Goodreads or BookBub as soon as possible. If you are a blogger, you make my heart sing by adding this additional outreach.
- You regularly read Christian Historical Fiction.
Accepting a copy means you enjoy Christian Historical Romance set in post–Civil War Missouri. Keeper of My Heart pairs a reserved, intellectual hero with a no-nonsense frontier woman, blending opposites-attract, found family, and a slow-burn, faith-centered romance.
With themes of grace, responsibility, and belonging, this story will appeal to readers who enjoy quiet heroes,
- You’re an influencer.
By accepting a copy, you confirm that you have an established platform on social media (Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, YouTube, blog, etc.) and are willing to help spread the word about my new release. Sharing in Facebook Reader Groups when readers are looking for book recommendations that match my novel is also a wonderful way to support this book launch.
*Please note: I cannot provide paperback copies of this book in ARC format.
You will receive an eBook copy via BookFunnel by March 19, 2026. Reviews on Goodreads and BookBub should be posted as soon as you finished reading and before the release date of April 7th, if at all possible. Amazon reviews should be posted during release week: April 7 – 12, 2026.
**You must have spent $50 on Amazon.com, using a credit or debit card, in the past 12 months to create reviews (including star ratings). For more information to ensure eligibility, please visit: Amazon Community Guidelines for leaving a review
