Re-release of The Homestead Brides Collection


What does it means when a book re-releases or is repackaged?

The Homestead Brides Collection from Barbour Publishing re-released this month. Its exciting for authors when a book is reissued because it means that it did well upon its original run. It also gives new readers, who may have missed hearing about it the first time a chance to purchase the book. When The Homestead Brides Collection was published in 2015 it became an EPCA bestseller ranking #5 in March and #11 in April which is quite an honor. This new edition, which is a regular size novel compared to the former over-sized edition, is already gaining popularity. Three of my other books have also enjoyed a second run including my novel The Shadow Catcher's Daughter in Love's Compass, novella 'Tis the Season of Mistletoe Memories in Bygone Christmas Brides, and novella Carving a Future of Colonial Courtships in The American Dream Romance Collection. Its fun to see my books get revived especially because so much effort goes into researching and writing them, regardless if its a novel or a novella.



About The Homestead Brides Collection:  Through nine historical romance adventures, readers will journey along with individuals who are ready to stake a claim and plant their dreams on a piece of the great American plains. While fighting land disputes, helping neighbors, and tackling the challenges of nature the homesteaders are placed in the path of other dreamers with whom romance sparks. And God has His hand in orchestrating each unique meeting.

My story:  Proving Up - Swedeburg, Nebraska, 1885 ~ Elsa Lindstrom applies her scientific theories to growing trees on the Nebraska plains, intruding on a handsome homesteader's hard work and experience. Will their dreams come to ruin, or will love prove their success?
 "The story kept me glued to my chair, not because of any suspense factor but because of the plot, dialogue and heart of the characters; their faith and rock solid belief that God was with them no matter what."  ~ Anne Payne, Book Reviewer
