Due to the special sales week for LOVE YOU ALWAYS, I have decided to put KNOW YOU MORE (Savannah Sweethearts Book 1) at $0.99 also for a limited time only. Get it before the price goes back to $3.99.
If you haven't read any of my Savannah Sweethearts series, then KNOW YOU MORE would be the first book to read, as it kicks off the entire story of how the Riverside Chapel church ended up on a riverboat.
Ooh, and a little bit of extra news for Savannah Sweethearts super fans... Yes, there is going to be a prequel, after all. Stay tuned! I can't believe there will be 11 books in this series...
Happy reading!

Seaside Chapel Book News

Here we go! After two years, STEP WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 2) is finally released. That���s a record, actually, considering that SHARE WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 1) took me 10 years to write.
I have a surprise announcement. There will be a prequel, after all. SAIL WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 0) will be out at some point, either before or after SING WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 3), which is Skye���s story. You don���t want to miss her story. She���s cooking up a storm!
Meanwhile, STEP WITH ME is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, which means it���s Amazon-exclusive. If you read Nook ebooks, don���t worry. This is only for a limited time. When all the books in the Seaside Chapel series are done, the series will go wide and will be available on all the top bookstores I sell my books in.

Of Good Report

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things��� (Philippians 4:8).
It���s so easy to get carried away by what one reads. Do you find that true?��
For authors trying to make a living, it���s also easy to focus on entertainment more than edification, on fun more than faith, and on the temporal more than the eternal.
As for me and my books, I pray over my novels and novellas. I pray that they will ultimately give God the glory. It takes time to write books. I would want to use my time wisely.
Happy reading!
Joyfully,
Jan
Coming Soon!

Tell you what! This is going to be a very busy year at Georgia Press. I���m slated to complete three series, and will start three new ones, if the Lord wills it.
Book series to be completed in 2017:
Book series to begin in 2017 or 2018:
I can���t wait to tell you about my Seaside Cottages series. It���s a spin-off of my Seaside Chapel series. I had created a number of characters in SHARE WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 1), each with his or her own story in mind. Some of them have moved to Savannah, so I put them in the Savannah Sweethearts series. However, most of them stayed in town, and as soon as I finish writing Seaside Chapel, I���ll work on Seaside Cottages. I have already started to write the first few chapters of STROLL WITH ME (Seaside Cottages Book 1) and STAY WITH ME (Seaside Cottages Book 2), but I won���t be able to finsih writing them until SING WITH ME (Seaside Chapel Book 3) is done.
Stay tuned!
Joyfully,
Jan
