For My Daughter

I think about my daughter now. She is sweet and innocent. She loves her daddy. I am the man in her life.

Then I think about ten years from now (fifteen, if I get my way). She will most likely have a new man in her life. She will be thinking about romance and marriage.

That's what was on my mind as I wrote the latest volume of my Amish Journey. I will admit that I had to move away from the keyboard for a while. I couldn't see what I was typing through the tears. So, I got a little emotional. I hope you can share some of that with me.

Set Free: An Amish Journey

Volume 7 - Love in Bloom

His last chance was their only hope.

In this new, best-selling, periodical short story series from Trestle Press, a man on the brink of self-destruction is given the opportunity to start over.

Part 7 of 10.

With spring in full swing, Allan learns to start working his farm. He has chickens in the barn and weeds in his field. His good friend Ben Abrim is there to lend a hand and share a helpful word.

The only thing that throws him off is Alice. She decides to make her intentions known regarding Sam Menlach.

Things end with a startling event at the schoolhouse.

Set Free: An Amish Journey - Volume 7: Love in Bloom is available now from Trestle Press. You can get it here - http://goo.gl/uhIar

Something a little different

I have been blessed with so many readers of Set Free: An Amish Journey. I had the chance to try something different and I hope you'll like it.

Mark Miller (http://www.amazon.com/Mark-Miller/e/B002BOE0WC) is a talented writer who I've come to know through my new journey as an author. He has a monthly series called Mark Miller's One. It is a catchy idea about how we are all connected on one planet. The stories are about faith and spirituality, but not solely Christianity. That idea fascinates me and I could not say no when he invited me to be a part of it. (http://www.facebook.com/MarkMillersOne)

I took the opportunity to share some parts of my life. I hope you can see that reflected in my Amish Journey stories.

Another wonderful element is that starting with my story, I am going to donate 100% of my proceeds from the One series to a charity. Mr. Miller showed me this link to a group down in Florida called Give Kids the World. That is who he is donating to, so it sounded like a grand plan to me.

My story is called Snake in the Water and it is Story Six in the series. You can get it from Amazon for a penny less than a dollar. (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AWTM7S) Thanks for reading!
