Pendants
Look what I found!
One of you encouraged me to have a look at the Baker Family pendants from a long while back, and lo and behold, there are a few that remain! I thought I’d let you know about them in case you, too, have wondered if/when they’d be available

July 2019 Updates
It’s been a while since my last post on here; I’m sorry for my absence! With my greater activity on Instagram and Facebook, I sometimes forget that many of you are not on those platforms.
I’ve been doing all sorts of interesting things, like:
Hammocking for the first time
Building a stool in the woods from a dead-standing sycamore (with lots of help!)
Tending a fruit/vegetable garden
Meeting a Baker Family series reader and eating ice-cream, and punting in Oxford
Admiring Scarlet Pimpernels in the garden– last year I pulled most of them up as weeds before checking online what they were! They are technically weeds, but pretty enough for me to let them stay.

Studying for a Philosophy exam for my degree (very time-consuming and not pictured – but not as scenic as everything else!)
Now that studies are out of the way for a while, I can focus on finishing Baker 8!
Your prayers would be appreciated as I seek the Lord for continued ideas and flow that will make this adventure worth your wait.
Question: Sometimes the title of a book is one of the hardest things to nail down. Do you have alliterative title ideas for Baker 8?

Day in Oxford: John J. Horn & Douglas Bond
Reader Friends,
Look who I saw again in Oxford — authors John J. Horn and Douglas Bond!
[image error]
This was like a mini reunion of the 2016 Oxford Creative Writing Masterclass, led by Mr. Bond, where we invested in learning more about the craft of writing and soaking up the history in this part of England. John and I had our books published when we were in our teens, and had been inspired in our reading and writing journey by Mr. Bond’s excellent historical fiction, so it was great to attend a tour led by him.
After climbing up St. Michael’s Tower, where Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley were held prisoner before being burned at the stake, Mr. Bond and I discussed writing and being a young Christian writer in today’s world. You can watch the interview on Youtube:
Check out John and Mr. Bond’s new releases — The Mountain Fortress: Escape to the Outback and The Resistance — for exciting, adrenaline-filled adventure!

What a review! :)

“The tee-shirt that Miss Hedgcock has put together is extremely comfortable and durable, plus they’re the perfect way for a Baker fan to show their fandom. I ordered mine a size large, because I enjoy rather large clothes, and it fits exactly as I wanted it to. I was slightly afraid that the embellishment would wear off after a few washes, but it has held up admirably. I highly recommend this as a part of your wardrobe, or a gift for a Baker fan.” ~ Amie W.
I’m thrilled that you like it, Amie!

A very happy 2019 to all of you! I hope you had a marvellous break and that 2019 is off to a good start. We were out in the countryside, enjoying the scenery of Ireland.

Odelia from Little Apples of Gold interviewed me recently about horses, the most important thing when writing a book, and advice for young writers. You can check it out here: http://odelia.littleapplesofgold.com/author-no-6-c-r-hedgcock/

T-Shirts!
Tees are finally here! It’s taken quite a bit of time, trial, and error to get t-shirts that look and feel right — but I’m really enjoying the opportunity to share each new item of merch with you as it becomes available.
Made from 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, these tees are super comfy and soft, and feature a quote from the books that you helped me choose as a reflection of the Baker Family series.
You can find the tees here, and the handy sizing guide will help you pick the option that fits best.
Be sure to order before 4th December if you need it by the 25th.
UK readers — I plan to put an order together for you soon!
