Fall into Romance

It’s that time of year, when I love to curl up beneath a blanket and read a really good book. What am I reading right now? The Heir’s Beloved, by Rhonda Dragomir. I highly recommend this book, which releases today. My full review of the book is coming soon. But for now, let me just say if you love action, adventure, and strong characters you will love this story. Rhonda Dragomir has a gift for infusing bleak situations with hope. Light penetrates the darkest moments.

Congratulations, Rhonda!

For twenty years, the wrong man has ruled Ravenwood. Now its rightful heir has come home.

Spirited across the English border as a child, Liam believes he is a true son of Scotland. But his birthright tells a different story. He is the Duke of Ravenwood, whose father’s steward murdered Liam’s family and stole his inheritance.

Now Liam has returned to England in disguise, determined to reclaim Ravenwood and avenge his family.

Ella is devoted to rescuing a ragged band of orphaned children. Believing their future is worth more than her own, she agrees to a marriage of convenience with the steward despite his vile reputation. If they wed, the steward’s hold on Ravenwood could become unbreakable.

Liam cannot reclaim his inheritance without confronting the man who destroyed his family. But rescuing Ella may cost him everything he came home to recover.

Only when Liam and Ella surrender their futures to God can He mend wounds that neither revenge nor sacrifice can heal.

Will rescuing Ella cost Liam the inheritance he vowed to reclaim—or will God redeem far more than Ravenwood?


Rhonda Dragomir is a multimedia creative who treasures her fairy-tale life in Central Kentucky, and she insists her home is her castle, even if her prince refuses to dig a moat. She has published works in several anthologies and periodicals, and her debut novel, “When the Flames Ravaged,” was released by Barbour Publishing in March of 2024. In 2026, “The Heir’s Beloved,” her second novel, was published under her own imprint, Dragomir Group Publishing.

Rhonda has garnered numerous writing awards for both fiction and nonfiction, including her selection as 2019 Writer of the Year by Serious Writer, Inc. In 2020 and 2022, she was also a finalist in ACFW’s Genesis Contest in the historical romance category.

In all her writing, Rhonda answers the question most of us ask at one time or another: “Does God really love me?” Circumstances of life sometimes make us doubt His love or power. When her characters are forced into the crucible of decision, Rhonda allows them to wrestle with questions everyone asks in a crisis. Her ultimate goal—and joy—is to help readers strengthen their faith that God will never leave or forsake them.

Two Reviews and an Update

I love positive reviews. Writers thrive on those. When a new book releases, we hold our breath until someone sends through a message or posts a review. Will they like it OR Will it flop?

Thank you, Joyce and Diana!

An update on my writing journey: I recently completed a cozy mystery novella to be released as part of a series of novellas, beginning in early 2023. There are seven stories in the series. One of them will be released every month from February until August. This is my first cozy mystery. I enjoyed creating the characters and developing the story.

Watch my newsletter and/or social media posts for more information and updates on this exciting series.

I am writing furiously to complete book 2 of the Home Found Suspense series. I can’t wait to share more with you about this project.

A Winning Partnership

The demise of another local Christian bookstore. The dwindling number of books in the Inspirational/Christian section of other bookstores…

Hello, Thursday Morning readers! I’m so happy you stopped by. On Saturday, Sept. 21, I’ll be signing Annabelle’s Joy at our local Barnes & Noble. Throughout the month, I’ve received their online newsletter and it’s exciting to see my name listed in the Upcoming Events.

This morning, I’m thinking about that. It’s an opportunity, one that I’m thankful for and I’m not going to take it for granted. This type of opportunity is not only priceless, it could disappear tomorrow.

If you’re a writer, take advantage of the opportunities offered. Visit your local B&N and see what you need to do to either get books on their shelves, or be hosted for a book signing. When they host you, they do a great deal of marketing on your behalf. Your name and book may be on a poster in their front window. And, you’ll be listed in their online newsletter, on their Facebook page, and other venues.

Yes, I’m a member of B&N. I paid a small sum for a card that gets me on their newsletter list and saves me money when I make purchases at their store. I shop there whenever I can, because they’re local, because I have friends who are on staff. And they’re offering me a wonderful opportunity, to get myself out there. To be seen, and to be heard of, if only for a few moments.

I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity, not only as writers, but as readers.

Click-to-Tweet: When you hear that an Inspirational/Christian writer will be in the area signing books, give them a moment of your time. Stop in to meet them. Don’t let this opportunity pass.

I’m supporting local business and they’re supporting me. Seems like a win-win. 🙂

Support Local Business and Me! I’d love to see you.
