He Leadeth Me

I am loving writing for the multiple-author series, Hymns to Stir the Heartstrings. There are so many possibilities, and the story ideas just keep coming. It's exciting to be part of something that blends beloved hymns with heartfelt, faith-centered fiction.

Each book title in the series is drawn from a traditional hymn. My first one, He Leadeth Me, just released. In it, widower Joseph McBride has resisted long enough. His little girl needs a mother, and the congregation expected their pastor to have a wife. Reluctantly, he writes to his aunt for help. A few weeks later, Christine Hanna steps off the train—lovelier than he imagined, but beauty alone won’t ease the burden of life in a parsonage. Could she withstand the constant scrutiny, the endless duties, the weight of being a pastor’s wife? As Joseph and Christine navigate faith, family, and the expectations of a small-town church, they discover that tests include facing the unpredictable, whether she can fill the role, and if their hearts can find a home in each other.

I just ordered the cover for my next book in the series, I Am Thine, O Lord. This story follows Alana Foster, a young woman who has spent years performing in her father's medicine show and warming up the crowd so they will buy his elixirs. It will come out in February, and I can't wait to share more about it as we get closer to its release.

He Leadeth Me is now available in print, Kindle, KU, and Audible, and I hope Joseph and Christine's story blesses you as much as it did me to write it. More hymn-inspired tales are on the way, and I'm thrilled to share them, one song, one story, and one heartfelt moment at a time.
