“Answer My Call”, Book 2 of the Morgan’s Landing series, is here and that means that I’ll have the opportunity to meet you at book signing events. This Saturday, I’m excited to be at the BRAND NEW public library in Boonvlle, Missouri. If you haven’t had a tour of this new facility in a newly restored building which was originally a part of the historic Kemper Military School campus, you need to come – not only to get your signed copy of my book, but to see this beautiful library.
The new library encompasses three floors. I’ll be there to meet you on the main level. Signage is not complete at this point, so be aware that you can park on Third Street and in the State Fair Community College parking area in front of the library. Alternately, you can go around and park in the rear and enter that way. Both ways are wheelchair accessible.
I’d love to see you Saturday and sign your copy if you like. It would be great to have you stop by just to “talk books”. So, if you are within driving distance, grab some friends and join me.
That’s this Saturday, October 3rd at Boonslick Regional Library (Boonville Branch), 707 Third Street in Boonville, Missouri from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM. The event is found on the library’s website and Facebook pages as well, so you can invite friends from there.

As you probably know, “Answer My Call”, Book 2 of the Morgan’s Landing series, released a week ago today. I’m happy to announce my first book signing event in connection with this new release.
From the feedback I’ve received so far, those of you who pre-ordered received your books last week. If you haven’t gotten your copies, let me know and I’ll try to do some checking for you to see if there’s an issue.

I heard a shuffling on my porch today and my first thought was, Could it be? Then, since it had been raining, I ran to the rescue. Yes, it was the first shipment of the paperback version of “Answer My Call”!
Those of you who pre-ordered might get your copies early as well, so be on the lookout for them.
I do know that my paperback versions are coming in three separate shipments and that the hardcovers will most likely arrive last. If you ordered the hardcover version, you might not receive yours as soon as someone who ordered paperbacks. They are on the way, though, so don’t be discouraged.
I can’t wait to see you at upcoming book signing events, and I’ll be posting those here at Midwest Storyteller soon.
I’m looking forward to hearing from all my readers as you let me know how you like “Answer My Call”, so leave your comments here as well as on my Midwest Storyteller Facebook page.
If you don’t live close enough to get your copy from me personally or attend a signing event, you can always order online. Just click on the banner at the top of this post and it will take you to all the info on all the books in the Morgan’s Landing series and provide the links you need.
Be sure to share this with all your family and friends. You are the primary way I have of getting the word out about my books. And, leave a review on Amazon, Ozark Hollow Press or any of the other book review websites. That really helps Morgan’s Landing get noticed.
We are now exactly one week away from the release of “Answer My Call”, Book 2 in my “Morgan’s Landing” historical romance series! I am so excited! I’m looking forward to seeing those boxes land (gently, I hope) on my front porch so that I can have my copies ready for upcoming book signings. If you pre-ordered, I hope you’re looking forward to your books arriving, too. I believe they are going to do so in a more timely manner than we experienced with Book 1. Feel free to bring your pre-ordered books and stop by at one of the book signings and I’ll be happy to sign it for you.
You can still pre-order! Just click on the banner above and all the links for that will be right there for you.
When you share this post with friends and family, this banner will appear and will give them a convenient way to find out what Morgan’s Landing is all about.
In “Answer My Call”, you’ll return to Morgan’s Landing and reunite with Julia, Beatrice, and Roderick Lansing. Unexpected newcomers bring shocking revelations, success invites complications, and heroes arrive in the unlikeliest of forms.
Click on the photo below to watch the trailer now.
Now, here’s a bit of what you’ll find inside!
“I was hoping you might work your way around to telling me which tree it was and what it did to offend you. If it made you cry like this, I’d be happy to chop it down for you.”
Julia Lansing struggles to build a new normal after the events of Hear My Whisper. The drama that plagued her in Savannah and followed her to Morgan’s Landing has calmed, work at the bakery is good, and her blossoming courtship offers a promising future. She has everything she had hoped for – so why does she feel so unsettled? Amalda Baysinger, Julia’s childhood bully, is concocting new schemes. Rance Morgan, an unwanted admirer, is proving unpleasantly persistent. And now a new neighbor, his wife, and his ailing children are moving into town, bringing with them terrible revelations, questions, and secrets.
Meanwhile, Beatrice and Roderick Lansing must contend with the changes their successes have brought their way. Demands for new and exciting creations and ever multiplying clients and partnerships split their attentions, stretching their time and energies ever thinner. Meanwhile, the summer’s biggest celebration is on the horizon, bringing with it a familiar game they find cruel and distasteful. With the help of the minister, can they finally succeed in bringing an end to this dark practice?
Answer My Call, book two in the Morgan’s Landing series, invites you back to the small town of Morgan’s Landing, Missouri in 1905. Reunite with Julia Lansing as she meets new people and encounters familiar faces in new contexts. Will all of these changes be for the better? Can Julia trust the happiness she has built for herself? Can Morgan’s Landing handle the secrets that, if exposed, threaten the town’s most prominent citizens?
Only one more week till we find out! Is there anything you’re looking forward to in this sequel? Leave a comment and let me know.

“Hear My Whisper” – Book 1 of the “Morgan’s Landing” Series
Watch the trailer for “Hear My Whisper” by clicking on the photo below.
Here’s more about it –
“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?
