Rachel Rocks! - Blog Hop
Rachel is sweet, caring, hard-working, and a fantastic writer! She has helped me so much in my own writing, and I will be forever grateful :)
Here's one of her books. It was so hard to pick just one for the hop, so I picked one that means a lot to me. This book is the reason I became interested in writing Regency Romances. Because Rachel does it so well! I love the fact that her Regencies all have humor. That just makes it for me :)
So several of us are hosting a huge blog hop in Rachel's honor, giving away prizes, and basically giving Rachel a big cyber high-five :)
I'll be giving away two ebooks of my Regency Romance, "Rescued by a Duke" Just leave me a comment here, along with your email addy to be in the contest for my giveaway :)
Here's the link to the main post, so you can see who all is hosting.
And here's a list of the participants:

Sasha Douglas has hit rock bottom. Literally. Left all alone after her brother's murder, she thought things couldn't possibly get worse. Until she finds herself trapped, injured, and frightened with no hope of escape after falling into an abandoned well.
Garrett Rothchild Cantlebury, the 5th Duke of Ravensworth, is shocked to discover a woman trapped in his abandoned well. The place that holds reminders of horrible loss for him. Determined to save the poor girl, he pushes those thoughts aside, refusing to dwell on them. But the rescued damsel in distress ends up making him face a darker truth. One that threatens both their futures.
Can Sasha and Garrett put family tragedy behind them and find love together?

Time to Write
Yes, it's true. I haven't posted here for a while. Wanna know where I've been hiding? In my writing cave! Until 3 weeks ago, I went through some health complications that knocked me flat. I felt so awful that I didn't really care about much. Including writing.
But now that I'm feeling better, I'm back! I'd started a new Regency Romance before I became ill, and didn't get very far with it. I had the main idea and sort of a flimsy outline. And I'd written a couple of chapters. Getting back into the story a couple of weeks ago, I thought, okay, I'll ease my way back in.
Until my publisher put out a call for Summer Regencies. With a submission date that was two weeks away!
I worked really hard and typed til my fingers ached. (Thank goodness for an understanding husband, some of the, uh, housework kind of got behind). I'm pleased to say that last night I finished the story and hit SEND so it could fly through space to my publisher's computer.
Such a great feeling!
Now, of course, the housework looms. Better get to that....
Oh and by the way, I'll be at Romantic Times in Kansas City!!! So if you're attending, look me up! I'll have copies of "Rescued by a Duke" and "Better Than Catnip" :)

Check Out This Great New Book by David Bowman
History, politics, government---they're not just for grown-ups anymore. Today's teens are about to be handed a collapsing nation and it'll be their job to fix it. Enter David Bowman. With wit, humor, and the occasional serious note, he skillfully illustrates America's biggest problems and presents an interactive guide to understanding them that's so much fun adults will want to read it too!
http://www.amazon.com/Would-Founding-Fathers-Think-ebook/dp/B008Y65LU6/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/what-would-the-founding-fathers-think-david-bowman/1110790059?ean=9781462110612
As a Christian and as a patriot, David Bowman glorifies his Savior and his nation through his fine art, his books, and his motivational speaking.
David also writes and illustrates a variety of books for young audiences. Combining his cartooning skills
and his experience teaching at a high school level, David knows how to engage kids, pre-teens, and
teens with books that are both entertaining and enlightening. His best-selling Who's Your Hero series
helps kids want to become modern day examples of heroes from the scriptures. The Great Plan of
Happiness teaches them of God's plan for their lives and Dude, Don't be a Lemuel helps older kids and
teens avoid negative, faith-destroying attitudes.
In the political realm, David's latest work is quickly becoming THE Constitutional/conservative book
for young Americans. In What Would the Founding Fathers Think? A YOUNG American's Guide to
Understanding What Makes Our Nation Great & How we've Strayed, David uses wit, humor, and a
variety of visuals to skillfully teach preteens and teens alike the wisdom of returning to our nation's
founding principles, and in a way that they will actually "get it". Even adults will enjoy the simplicity
of its explanations. As Barbara Stowell, Vice President of Constitution Week USA, puts it: "I've learned
more from this book than all the other government and constitutional course material I've studied."
And David loves to teach! He speaks to youth groups on religious and political topics all over the
country. His fun, engaging style, on a variety of topics, helps motivate them to be all-around better
Christians and patriots. Your kids won't soon forget a David Bowman presentation!
David Bowman and his wife, Natalie, live in the mountains of Arizona with their four children.
