After much writing, re-writing, and reading I've learned the best way to tell a story is from the heart and then let the mind edit it so others can read it.

CBA and ECPA best-selling Christian author, Diana Lesire Brandmeyer, writes historical and contemporary romances. She writes fiction about women choosing to challenge their fears to become the strong women God intended them to be.

Author of: Mind of Her Own, The Frontier Legacy Bride series, Small Town Series, and the Silverton Romance Series.

I will say yes, to this one. Travis does raise horses and keeps on being a doctor.

As for his old friend and Mary, it's hard to say if they ever saw each other again. It's possible. :)

And yes, you've given me a lot to think about for the next book! Thank you!(less)

Thanks so much for asking Arial.
A Bride's Dilemma started off with Barbour Publishing and I had hoped they would buy the next two books in the series. They didn't. I had to wait to get my rights back before publishing it on my own.

Annabell and Jake are going to get their own books in the next few years. For now, I'm working on a different series that I started while waiting to get Bride's Dilemma back. I love all of your questions! And I'm not going to answer them. :) If I did I wouldn't need to write the books and I so much want to write them. (less)

A Quiet Adventure: Traveling to Warsaw, Missouri

Sometimes you just need a road trip. After the house‑full holidays—three family birthdays, a visiting dog, and what felt like 700 cookie crumbs later—my husband Ed and I decided we needed open‑road therapy. So we pointed the car south toward Warsaw, Missouri—a charming little town I’d spotted in a YouTube video. As a Missouri native...

“Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”
Diana Lesire Brandmeyer, A Bride's Dilemma in Friendship, Tennessee

“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.”
Jonathan Swift

“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?”
George Eliot

“One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away.”
Stephen Hawking

“She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.”
Louisa May Alcott, Work: A Story of Experience
