This is why I write. (A letter from a reader.)

I received the following letter from a reader. It blessed my heart and reminded me why I write. And that is... to touch reader's lives.

With his permission, I want to share it with  you.

Here it is:

Dear Mrs Ullrick
Thank you very much for writing The Unlikely Wife. I was really touched by it and I very much enjoyed that the references to the Bible weren't just there to make it more realistic for the timeframe, like in other Harlequin Historical/Love Inspired Historical books I've read so far. It's a really beautiful story, and, especially towards the end, I quite started to envy Michael a bit. I pray the Lord will one day give me a wife that's as good for me as Selina was for Michael, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for me. I pray the Lord will make me worthier each day, but I'm longing for it to happen as soon as possible. On the other hand I wouldn't want to risk having someone else instead of Him in the centre, when I'm already struggling at that as it is.
Again, I really thank you for this beautiful work. It is rare for any literature touching an avid reader like me so deeply. I will most likely read through many of your other books over time now. I'd certainly rather buy something like this than to buy just some Harlequin book by a random writer as I've done so far.
Kind Greetings from Switzerland
Joel

The Bride Wore Coveralls

Available now in e-book!!


Can bitter rivals come to love each other? Fighting deep prejudice against her femininity, her choice of vehicle, and even her heritage, Camara Cole is determined to win the mud-bog racing championship this year. Her biggest competition seems also to be her worst enemy. Chase Lamar has been racing mud-boggers as long as Camara, and he grudgingly admits she's the best driver-mechanic he knows. Their rivalry has been long and bitter. But Chase is a new Christian. As he begins to change, he finds his relationship with Camara changing, too. When Camara's vehicle is sabatoged, she naturally blames Chase, despite a growing attraction. Chase must prove his innocence, but evidence points his way. When the smoke clears and the truth is known, will each be able to extend forgiveness, maybe even love?

Groom Wanted - Check out my upcoming release!

 

GROOM WANTED, COMING AUGUST 2012

 

If you've read, The Unexpected Bride and The Unlikely Wife, then you will want to read Groom Wanted.

 

It's a perfect plan-best friends Leah Bowen and Jake Lure  will each advertise for mail-order spouses in the papers,  and then Jake will help select Leah's future husband, while Leah picks Jake's bride-to-be! Surely the ads will find them what they seek: a wife who'll appreciate Jake's shy charm  and a groom who'll take Leah away from the Idaho Territory she detests. When the responses to the postings pour in, it seems all Leah's and Jake's dreams will soon come true.  But the closer they each get to the altar, the less appealing marrying a stranger becomes. Is it too late to turn back- or to turn around and find the happiness they truly seek together, at last?

 

Groom Wanted is available for pre-order at Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble, Christianbooks.com and many other places.

 

Thank you for stopping by.

 

Until next time...

 

See ya ~ ~ ~

The Unlikely Wife is here!

Greetings, Salutations and all that good stuff.

Yippee skippy! My latest release The Unlikely Wife is now available in either paperback or e-book.

Back Cover Blurb:

The arrival of Michael Bowen’s bride, married sight unseen

by proxy, sends the rancher reeling. With her trousers,

cowboy hat and rifle, she looks like a female outlaw—not

the genteel lady he corresponded with for months. He’s

been hoodwinked into marriage with the wrong woman!

Selina Farleigh Bowen loved Michael’s letters, even if she

couldn’t read them herself. A friend read them to her,

and wrote her replies—but apparently that “friend” left

things out, like Michael’s dream of a wife who was nothing

like her. Selina won’t change who she is, not even for the

man she loves. Yet time might show Michael the true

value of his unlikely wife.

If' you'd like a chance to win a free copy then go to http://www.seekerville.blogspot.com/on Friday, January 13th and post a comment. I will be giving away three copies.
