Waiting for Gilbert with Tasha Hackett

December 5, 2024 By Karen Witemeyer

When Tasha Hackett reached out to me about her new Christmas book, Waiting for Gilbert, I was eager to help her get the word out. I grew up with the Anne of Green Gables books, and I loved that they served as inspiration for Tasha's story. So I invited her here to share about it with you. Take it away, Tasha . . .

Wanted: Women with Gumption (plus a giveaway)

October 18, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

On Tuesday, Tammy shared about the limited time release of Petticoat Gumption and how its title came about. I thought I would share how the collection came to be. Awhile back, she and I were chatting about something, and she told me that she was getting ready to re-release three of her earlier historical romances. In an off-hand comment, I said, “We should get together with some other Christian … [Read more...]
