Author Abigail Harris reviewed all three of the Tales of Faith books AND has a giveaway for all three eBooks on her blog! This is the first ever giveaway for “Protecting the Poor” — and there are many more to come! 😀
Visit her blog (and enter the giveaway!) HERE.
“Protecting the Poor” is all about the villagers in Abtshire. Every individual was occupied in some way or another. This not only fits the history, it fits the turmoil of Abtshire very well.
To find out a little more about the occupations I feature in Abtshire and the history behind them, visit Wildflower Acres blog.
What medieval occupation do you know about? Have you ever read a book where it was featured?
With being on vacation, I’m falling behind in sharing my 3-month tour bloggers! But the last two July posts were pretty unique.
First, the historical post about WHY “The Secret Slipper” HAD to be historical. Have you ever considered why a certain idea HAS to be in a certain era? It’s really fascinating to think about!! I’d love to hear your spin-offs of why _______ story had to be told in ________ era.
You can read the full article HERE.
Another belated July 3-month-tour post. One of the things I love including in my books is friendship. Strong friends. Godly friends. Those that encourage ME to be a better friend. As I got to thinking about the friendships I portrayed in my books, I realized that the reason I can portray them is because I’ve experienced them. I’ve had some friends stick with me through some pretty tough situations–friends who have encouraged me in my walk with God, uplifted me, rebuked me, prayed for me, and unconditionally loved me. If you have a friend like that, thank them today for being a godly friend!

These blogs will all have another special post this month–this time, featuring the book we’ve all been waiting for! So be sure to keep up on my blog or just sign up for their blogs to see what comes up! I’ll be giving sneak-peeks, sharing historical tidbits (which will probably have some sneak-peeks as well) and host several giveaways!
Have you added “Protecting the Poor” to your Goodreads’ list yet?
What are you looking forward to this month?
In “The Secret Slipper,” the biggest lesson I learned was about upping the stakes—intensifying the angst. I want my readers to feel it with my characters. But I usually fall flat in my first attempt (courtesy of my personal lack of emotion) and have to edit to add it. For me, it’s an ever-learning process of upping angst.
Join me today over at Faith’s blog for my thoughts on adding angst to your story.
Today I’m over at We’ve Got Pockets with a very fun and different interview! What details do I slip into my books that no one really knows about but me? What honor would I choose for my book? Which book am I most proud of? Find my answers for these and more over at Esther’s blog here.
Lia buried her hands in the folds of Geva’s gown, the soft linen not calming her at all. She made sure her steps were slow and even, making her appear the careful lass Bioti claimed her to be. Had she not spent the last hour transitioning from filthy rags to this pale green gown, she would have doubted that she was the same lass mucking the stalls this morn. She lifted her eyes, taking in every embroidered flower that decorated the deep gray silk of Lady Yzebel’s gown. The beauty of elegance stopped as she looked at the lady’s face.
