Why?

I wrote my book, The Price of Trust, primarily for my children. Our teenage daughter had read pretty much everything of worth in our public library, and I knew that she was going to start wanting to read *gasp* romance novels. As my heart began to flutter with trepidation and horror, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I wrote a book. A Christian romance book.



Is there such a thing as a Christian romance novel? Can Christians have romance? I've been scoffed at, laughed at, ridiculed, and basically mistreated because quite a few people don't understand what Christian romance is. Let's make this easy to understand.



A Christian romance novel is a fictitious account of love between a man and woman with Godly principles. Without all the objectionable material. A Christian romance novel should be a book that you wouldn't be embarrassed about and have to hide if your preacher came unexpectedly to your front door.



Did I write this because I think I'm better than others? Of course not! Don't be silly! Do I have regrets? Did I make mistakes? Of course I did ~ and still do. But see, that's my point. I don't want my children making the same mistakes I did. I want to shield them from heartaches ~ because that's what parents do. I wrote this book as a love note to my children.



So, this is what happened. After I had completed my novel, I was excited and I told my dear hubby. He proudly smiled, and without missing a beat, asked me to try to have it published. And, now you know the rest of the story. Hopefully, this will help those of you who don't really understand what a Christian romance novel is.



Have a marvelous week! And, if you'd like to order more than one book, please message me, and I'll give you a discount!

Toni Nelson I normally don't read romance novels... don't get me wrong, I love romance... I would just rather read something else. Well, I am currently reading, The Price of Trust and I have to admit, so far its a keeper!
