What’s New in 2022

With as busy as I am, sometimes I know I’m confusing my readers with everything I have going on! (I honestly confuse myself sometimes too!) So in an effort to give the bigger picture, I thought I’d take today’s post to outline what to expect from me over the coming year.
As you know, in this month of JANUARY, my second Waters of Time book, NEVER LEAVE ME, hit shelves. If you haven’t yet gotten your copy, then take advantage of this special with Baker Book House!

In FEBRUARY, I’ll be in full swing with my new adventure with Sunrise Publishing as their Season 7 author. Aspiring historical romance authors who are interested in publication can submit an audition (due Feb. 28). Three authors will be chosen to carry on my popular Bride Ship Series while being mentored by me. Take a moment to read more about publishing through Sunrise to see if this might be a good fit for you: https://sunrisepublishing.com/current-seasons-2/

In MAY my third Colorado Cowboy book releases, TO TAME A COWBOY. This book carries on the McQuaid family saga with Brody’s long-awaited story! Be on the lookout for sign-ups for my launch team in March (available to those who are a part of my Facebook Reader Room).

In JUNE, ENSNARED releases! This is the third book in my Knights of Brethren story and continues the adventures the special group of knights that serve with King Ansgar (from Entwined Book 2). This newest installment gives dashing and daring Gunnar his happily ever after and involves a quest for a sacred chalice rumored to bring healing. Here’s the cover that was just revealed this week!

In JULY, ENRICHED hits shelves. The fourth book in the series, it tells the story of Torvald and his journey toward true love as he works with Gunnar to locate the holy chalice in time to save the queen. And here’s the cover of this beauty (with many thanks to Roseanna White Designs for her stunning covers!).

In SEPTEMBER, I’ll be heading to Cincinnati where I’ll be participating in ACFW’s Storyfest for Readers! If you haven’t registered yet for Storyfest, you are welcome to use my code (jodhedlund) for a discount. I hope to see you there! And while at ACFW, I’ll also be teaching a Continuing Education class for historical writers.

In OCTOBER, book four in my Colorado Cowboy Series releases, FALLING FOR THE COWGIRL. The cover is currently being developed, so I can’t show all of it to you just yet. But I can tell you that this story is about Ivy McQuaid, the youngest and only girl in the McQuaid family. Her story was a TON of fun to write, and I hope you’ll thoroughly enjoy reading it!

While I don’t have firm dates, I am hoping to add into the mix a third book in my Waters of Time Series. AND Books 5 & 6 in my Knights of Brethren series are heading into editing and cover development, so they also may be available this year!
Whew! There you have it! And on a personal note, I’m also excited that one of my twin daughters will be having her wedding in July!
