COMING IN MAY~TRUSTING GRACE!

I'm so excited to share with YOU, my dear readers the book cover for Trusting Grace which releases in May, 2017.

I'm sure you will agree with me the cover is lovely and as always Revell does a beautiful cover. I showed them the gown I wanted and they had it made for the model. I couldn't be more pleased.

It ready for pre-order most of your favorites websites.

Here's a little to whet your appetite until then:

All her life widow Grace Bidwell has longed for a loving husband and children but now chances are looking slim and prospects low as she cares for her elderly father and struggles to maintain the chores on the farm…until she places an ad for a hired hand. Robert Frasier arrives with three pitiful bedraggled children and nothing but the clothes on their backs and a wagon, applying for the job…along with a load of hurt, pride and anger. Rachel’s unaware the children aren’t his and he’s feels duty bound to raise them. Grace believes this is divine intervention but how can she convince his reluctant heart when they begin to have feelings for each other?

I hope you'll want to read Grace's story and enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

Blessings,
Maggie

FALL GREETINGS

It's been such a long time since I've blogged and much has happened. You already know that my new book, A Sweet Misfortune, released in February and next May, the third and last book in the Virtues and Vices series, Trusting Grace, releases. I can't wait to share the beautiful cover that Revell has created, and once again they gave me exactly what I asked for and even had the gown created for the heroine. Soon as they give me the go ahead, I'll post the cover picture. The galleys have been submitted and I await page proofs. I believe you're going to love Grace's story, and I can't wait for you to read it! :)

I'm finally settled in at our new location in Georgia, and still tweaking a few things around the house. After much discussion, I finally gave in and we now have a Maltipoo puppy named Pepper. It has been years since our Sheltie died after living 16+ years so we'd forgotten the work involved in training a puppy. I'm happy to say we've made it! But she still likes to chew things like all pups. Pepper is a cutie but it's hard to get a good picture of her because she's black.

Are you a dog lover? Write and tell me what type of dog you have if you are.

Enjoy your fall. Thanksgiving is just around the cover and don't we all have so much to be thankful for this season?

God Bless,
Maggie

PERFECTLY MATCHED

I'm so excited to share with you my new book cover for Perfectly Matched-book 3 in The Blue Willow Brides series. The model looks exactly how I envisioned Anna, the youngest of the three sisters, would look like. As usual, Revell creates beautiful covers and I'm glad to be able to share my ideas for what the cover should look like.

 



Here's a brief description:

Anna Olsen knows it's time to leave her sister's increasingly crowded house and start a life of her own. Following her sisters' examples, she becomes a mail-order bride, and after a short correspondence with clock maker and jeweler Edward Parker, she moves to Denver to become his wife. Almost immediately it's painfully apparent that Anna and Edward are very different. Anna is a free spirit who would rather be painting and enjoying the company of friends than cleaning house. Edward is a consummate perfectionist who, on their wedding day, hands Anna a list of chores that need to be done around the house daily.

Can this mismatched couple see past their differences to a harmonious future? Or will their disparate passions create obstacles neither is willing to surmount?

Maggie Brendan closes her Blue Willow Brides series with a heartwarming tale of true love despite misunderstanding, showing readers that God's timing is always perfect.

It's available for  preorder on CBD, Amazon, B&N or your nearest Christian Book store.

I enjoyed writing Anna's story and all her escapes and I hope you will too. Closer to the release, I'll be having a giveaway.

I'm currently working on The Arrangement, my 1st novel in my new series, Virtues and Vices of the Old West.

I hope you'll sign up for my newsletter or follow my blog. Spring is just around the corner. Yay! Now back to writing. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
