Hear My Whisper, the first book in my Morgan’s Landing historical fiction novel series is available for pre-order now.

Physical books are available in both paperback and hardback editions here: Hear My Whisper | Ozark Hollow Press 

Note: I have noticed that if you order extras for family and friends, the publisher will give you FREE SHIPPING. Any combination such as two hardcovers, a hardcover and a paperback, or three paperbacks (or, of course, more) will qualify for free shipping.

Upon release, physical books will also be available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

You can pre-order the ebook also –

From the Amazon Kindle Store here: 

Amazon.com: Hear My Whisper (The Morgan’s Landing Series Book 1) eBook : Thoma, B.L.: Kindle Store

From Barnes & Noble here: Hear My Whisper by B.L. Thoma | eBook | Barnes & Noble® 

NOTE: If you do plan to order an ebook, I would strongly encourage you to do so on Amazon. This helps build numbers for my book that might give me one of those “bestselling” banners upon release.  That, my dear readers, would be nice!  

My publisher has set the “official” publication date as November 18th. However, that is to allow for any unexpected “stuff that happens”. I am expecting to have physical books available in early to mid-October. 

Book signings will be scheduled soon, and will be announced here at Midwest Storyteller as well as on the Midwest Storyteller Facebook page and the Midwest Storyteller Instagram page.

The act of kindness that would mean the most to me is for you to post your review of Hear My Whisper to platforms like Goodreads.com, Amazon.com (or whatever platform for book reviews you prefer).  This will help give the book a strong base to have staying power in the long term.

Here’s a bit from the back of the book:

“And you can be certain of one thing, Abigail. I’m no angel.”

Julia Lansing stumbles into an embarrassing scandal when she’s discovered in a compromising position with a U. S. senator!

Though she’s innocent and it was all a misunderstanding, the shame burns. Matters are made worse later at dinner, when she seeks to hold her mother’s hand for moral support and finds herself holding a strange man’s hand by mistake! With mishaps abounding, how on earth is she meant to survive her trip to Savannah? Returning to her predictable life back home would be ideal—if it weren’t for the handsome Adam Cole. What is she meant to do about him?

Meanwhile, Beatrice Lansing, Julia’s mother, is expanding her business ventures in dress-making. With only a short amount of time to stay in Savannah, she’s striving to showcase her designs and build the network of employees and customers she came to create. Can she make her dreams come true, or will she return to Missouri empty-handed? And why is she receiving telegrams from her husband about explosions and replacing curtains?

Set against the backdrop of Savannah, Georgia and the small town of Morgan’s Landing, Missouri in 1904, Hear My Whisper, book one in the Morgan’s Landing series, invites you to follow Julia Lansing as she navigates the mores of a different city, state, social class, and the newfound interests of a young man (or two or three). Can she make the choice that’s best for her own happiness? Can her family succeed in the pursuit of their dreams? Or will it all come crashing down?
