Jack's Jewel
I am pleased to announce the release of my fourth story in the Time-Told Tales series. This one rewrites "Jack and the Beanstalk," taking out the make-believe and magic and making it an inspirational romance. Jack's Jewel is a Kindle ebook (and also on KU), but I will soon combine it with Patricia's Prison to make the paperback, Time-Told Tales, Volume Two for my readers who prefer a print book. It should be out toward the end of the month.
In Jack's Jewel, Jack's mother sends him to sell their cow, but he can find no one who wants to buy her. Just before the town market closes for the day, he trades the animal for some remarkable beans. His mother is not pleased, however, and demands that Jack leave. He heads south, hoping to find a home. In Fairleigh, the earl agrees to let him plant the beans in one of his fields, but Jack cannot help but notice the earl's beautiful daughter. However, he will have to use all his wits if the earl allows him to court Pearl.
Pearl is the youngest daughter of the Earl of Fairview and the only one not married. After he regretted that he'd secretly imprisoned Patricia in a remote tower because she refused to wed the duke he chose for her, Father promised Pearl he would not force her to marry a man she didn't want. However, that doesn't mean he will approve the man she does. Thankfully, her brother, Keynan, married a commoner by tricking Father into thinking she really did spin straw into gold and is willing to help Pearl. But is her interest in Jack for naught, or will love prevail once again?
