Snow Poem

Day 25--

Snow

Soft as a feather

Sharp as a knife

Silent as time flying

It'll take your life.

Wrap you in ice blankets

Chill you to death

Breathtakingly beautiful

Steals your breath.

HEART OF THE ENEMY

As Evangeline Holcomb watches her family’s mansion go up in flames, she vows to end the centuries-old feud between the Holcombs and their closest neighbors, the Skerrits. The abrasive Viscount and his money perish in the fire, leaving his wife and daughter destitute, while Eve’s brother is off fighting Napoleon on the high seas. Eve disguises herself and takes a position as a maid in the Skerrit household, spending her days among the people her father referred to as gamblers and thieves.

Eve finds her mentor murdered in the woods near the estate. She also discovers a member of the Skerrit family is slowly being poisoned. She makes it her responsibility to find the culprit. In the end, Eve must rely either on Thomas Pierce, the handsome young man who wishes to marry her, or on Harold Skerrit’s oldest son and heir, the fiery-tempered Luke. Eve must choose well, or fall prey to the dark secrets of the Skerrit legacy

The Heart of Fire text

Viscount Sir Edward Marchmont's new wife, Bernadette, is spending his money like water. Unbeknown to her, he takes the family gem, a huge ruby called Heart of Fire, to pay for his gambling debts. On the way to his creditor, however, Edward loses the jewel. In a fit of despair, he throws himself from Blackfriars Bridge, plunging his family into poverty of the rankest sort.

With a heart harder than any ruby, Bernadette abandons her stepchildren to a life on the streets of London. Sarah and Josiah are forced to make their living by dragging flotsam from the banks of the Thames to sell for food. Sarah cares for several street urchins, while her young brother goes to work for a gang, cleaning chimneys and acting as a paid mourner-both covers for a theft ring.

Handsome law clerk Andrew Witherwood seems to be Sarah's champion, despite the fact that Bernadette has retained his services. When rumors of the ruby resurface, greedy treasure hunters will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Kidnapping, theft, betrayal, and murder are all on the table. Sarah must find someone she can trust before it's too late.

Summerhouse text

A summerhouse isn’t usually the place to pick up cute girls. Jack Harris, curator of the Pennington Estate for England’s National Trust, not only meets a girl where he works, but she is the famous Pennington heiress, missing for two hundred years. Somehow their lives collide in the gazebo after dark. Jack soon finds he can’t get Charlotte and the mystery surrounding her life out of his head and heart.
Charlotte knows she can’t marry her parents’ choice—the man is doltish. She must tell them she wishes instead to marry an incorporeal man with the words “Do not disturb: I’m disturbed enough already” written on what appears to be his undershirt.
Jack can’t impress Charlotte’s unbending parents without scaring them witless, as they think he is a ghost. Jack pursues her across Europe, racing time itself and hoping to catch her when she falls.
But time can be unpredictable.

Sunrise

When champion barrel racer Tamsin Tucker is seriously injured at a rodeo, her whole world crashes around her. She is abandoned in a tiny Utah town, where her leg is amputated to save her life. Tamsin's horse is gone, she has no family, and she feels God has forsaken her. Prospects are bleak.

Through what she later realizes is divine intervention, Tamsin finds friendship with her nurse, Sarah, and Travis Mayfield, the handsome doctor who saves her life. Sarah has her own problems, but a faith that Tamsin can't deny. Travis has ghosts of his own and must learn to trust in God as well.

Getting on her feet isn't going to be easy for Tamsin. But with a newfound purpose, the help of friends, a man who adores her, and the matchless love of her Heavenly Father, she will forge a new life.

"I have to tell you how much I enjoyed Small Deceptions. I hunkered down with it for two days and devoured it. I would like a Daniel Stirling, please?" Jeri Crews

"Heidi...as you know, Lori Taylor gave a copy of your novel, Small Deceptions, to Liam McCurry for Christmas. I finally got it away from him...and want you to know how much I enjoyed it. To be truthful, I have never been a great Jane Austen fan and found the "non-crazy world" setting and language difficult...for at least the first 5 pages! Then I really got into the story and loved it. Thanks for your writing skills, lady! Keep 'em coming!" Margie McCurry
