Happy February, readers! I am now two months into my six-month social media sabbatical, and these have been two of the best, yet most confusing months as an author. Everywhere authors turn, we’re told that we have to have social media in order to be successful. If we don’t, we’ll be left behind and forgotten. This was one of my fears, too, but I’m coming to see that isn’t exactly true.

Off Social Discovery #2 – FOMO is real, y’all.

FOMO stands for the Fear of Missing Out. If we skip a day of scrolling our social media feeds or checking Messenger, we might miss the most important thing in the history of creation. If Jesus returns, how will we know?

I jest (sort of), but this is exactly what it feels like being on social media. Social media tells us that we have to keep up, keep pace, and then race forward. We have to know all the things and do all the things. If we don’t, we might miss out. Without social media, how will we know about our friends’ lives, new babies, new jobs, and every other detail? Where will we get our news? How can we keep up?

The truth is, we can’t. With over 4 billion users on Facebook alone, it is impossible to see and hear all the things. As someone who loves to know all the details, this is difficult for me. As it turns out, there are some things I don’t need to know and what I do care about, I can get another way. News sources are sent to my email, podcast list, or sourced directly. Authors and other influencers usually have free newsletters, podcasts, or blog subscriptions. Small businesses have email lists and/or apps, often with more deals than they post socially. And phone calls/text/video chat/in-person get togethers provide info about friends and family without ever scrolling through a feed. It requires me to be intentional and basically create my own “feed” without an algorithm deciding what I should find important.

Will I miss out on some things? Of course. Infinite scroll was created to be exactly that – infinite and impossible. It keeps us constantly searching for the next thing to excite our brains, whether good or bad. It won’t end, because it was designed not to. There is no way to check off the metaphorical to-do list, leaving us more scattered than ever before. In fact, Aza Raskin, the inventor of infinite scroll, and Leah Pearlman, the co-inventor of Facebook’s Like button both admitted in this article and several others that they no longer like their own inventions.

Is it possible to find balance while using social media? For some, I think it could be. It requires definitive boundaries and specific goals. Does social media works toward those goals or against them? Is it making us and, in turn, others better? Perhaps most importantly, by not missing out on social media, are we missing out on something in real life? And is real life really something we can afford to miss? These are all questions I’m asking myself during this time away.

Goin’ Sparkin’ in Sparks Fly Upward

The other day, I was listening to the musical soundtrack, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which takes place in 1850s Oregon, the same decade and general location as Larksong Legacy. If you haven’t seen the movie with Howard Keel and Jane Powell, you need to; it’s fantastic, albeit politically incorrect to modern ears. In one of the songs, they use the phrase, “goin’ sparkin'” which, of course, reminded me of the title of Sparks Fly Upward. Have you heard this phrase before? Basically, it’s another way of saying you were dating with the intention of pursuing marriage. Igniting the couple’s attraction, as it were.

(Minor spoilers below.)

In Larksong Legacy, courting and marriage are extremely complicated things, and “sparkin'” means taking on more than mere attraction. For Sarah, it includes the curse of six dead husbands. For Coraline, health complications. For Alice Ann, her dreams over everything. And for Martha, interracial romance in a time when it was both forbidden and illegal.

As Martha says in Sparks Fly Upward, “For a former plantation slave and a former plantation son, in a country fiercely divided by race, it was a situation most precarious and insensible. With as many reasons as she told herself to remain distant, another several dozen encouraged her to fall headlong into the void. He had never seemed to mind her skin’s deep copper hue. To him, their friendship had been like one of her mama’s hymns—the same melody in two separate keys. If only the entire world could sing such a song.”

Please pray for me as I move into the last 20% of this draft. My hope is to send it to beta readers by the end of April. Keep an eye out for the cover reveal in next month’s newsletter!

Larksong Legacy is coming to Audiobook!

After many auditions, much frustration, and a whole heap of prayers, I was blessed to find a wonderful narrator for the entire Larksong Legacy series, including the two books not yet published. Production of For a Noble Purpose began last week with an anticipated release date of June 2024. Dusk Shall Weep should hopefully be available in Fall 2024 and Sparks Fly Upward in either late 2024 or early 2025. Due to royalty share agreements, all audio books will only be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. eBooks and paperbacks will continue to be available worldwide.

As a reminder, I still have FREE Audible audiobook codes available for Across Oceans. Reply to this email to claim one or you can purchase the audiobook below:

Note for my Christian Fiction readers: While Across Oceans is considered clean, it is not directly written as Christian Fiction.

Welcome back to the Extra Edition newsletter! I’m excited to bring you bonus content each month with a special inside look at my novels and the history behind them.

New Year’s Resolutions, but Religious

Have you made a New Year’s Resolution? How about chosen a Patron Saint of the Year? In the Catholic Church, each saint is the patron of a particular area of life, usually based on how they lived their own life, but not always. This basically means that, when we are going through a similar situation, we ask them to pray for our needs, similar to how we ask any of our friends or family to pray for us. In this way, we honor the saints, but only pray to and worship God.

I have many patron saints in my personal life and also patron saints for each of my book characters (if my characters were real people and needed to pray for things.) The graphic below shows only a few of the many saints I love. If you’d like to learn more about any of these saints, or about the patron saints for my other series, reply to this email and let me know!

If you want to choose a personal saint for 2024, but don’t know where to start, Tiny Saints has a Saint of the Year generator on their website. Tiny Saints offers miniature versions of the saints that can be attached to a keychain, purse, backpack, etc. Sign up for Tiny Saints’ emails to receive frequent coupons. (Note: I’m not being paid to promote this company. I just love their products.)

Find your Saint of the Year.

Which saint did you get? Reply and let me know! Mine was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who encourages devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and is fitting as the Catholic Church is currently within our National Eucharistic Revival.

Lighting the Way

A few weeks ago, my son’s school visited a site where they roleplay in different careers and learn how the various areas work together. He was assigned the role of an electrical line worker, which led to some good conversations about trades.

Trades such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and bricklayers are in high demand because they are typically under-appreciated, despite their importance to society. Trades keep things going, especially electricians who are essential to lighting, computer mainframes, HVAC units, the internet, etc. Without electricity, we would literally be left in the dark. (Ask me about my favorite post-apocolyptic novels and movies. No, seriously, ask. I love those things.)

Before electricity, lamps had to be filled with oil, candles were handcrafted, and a sharp axe helped chop wood for the fire. From the 16th to mid-20th centuries, lamplighters were employed specifically to light and maintain street lamps. There are still a few places that have lamplighters, but they are rare.

I like the poem above by Robert Louis Stevenson, because it speaks of a world when society not only depended on lamplighters, but when children aspired to have such a role. My novel, Across Oceans, set in 1912, notes that, “The lamplighter emerged right on schedule. His nightly routine flickered the roads into life with dozens of glowing pools under the moon’s waning form.” After this, the lamplighter isn’t mentioned again, but this tiny detail would have been extremely important to the characters. After this quote, two of the characters have an intimate discussion that changes the course of their futures. Without the lamplighter, they wouldn’t have ventured out into the darkness, stayed home instead, and it all would have ended much differently.

Who else always shoots more than they can carry?

Does anyone else see the black screen with the bright green and get a little nostalgic for grade school computer class? I know I do. While researching For a Noble Purpose, I discovered an online version of the popular Oregon Trail computer game listed on Oregon’s Tourism site. They also have a link to purchase the card game version, which I own and recommend. This type of research may not be very “researchy,” but it sure is a fun blast from the past.

Happy January, readers! I am now one month into my six-month social media sabbatical, and I will be completely honest – I’m loving it. It’s freeing to be away from the constant bustle of what to post, when to post, and if I’m posting enough to make true connections. I never thought social media had that much of an impact on my day-to-day, but now that I’m gone, I can see how much time I was truly spending. This is in no way to say, “Quick, abandon social media right now and never look back!” There is a lot of good that can be found there, too. It’s all about finding the right balance.

This month, I also started listening to a podcast called Writing Off Social for authors looking to connect with readers without using social media. I’m only a few episodes in, but am hearing some great advice. In turn, over the next six months, I would like to share some of my own “off social” discoveries. My experiences may not apply to everyone, but I hope they give you something to consider on your own reading and/or writing journey.

Off Social Discovery #1 – I love to read.

I love to read. For most of you, this may not (or rather should not) seem like a discovery. “You’re an author, Kelsey. Of course, you love to read.” Yes, that’s true. I have always enjoyed reading and I read a lot. But I didn’t realize that somewhere along the way, I lost the true joy of reading just for the sake of reading. Of getting lost in a story without thinking about how I would describe it in a post or what graphics to use. Of choosing anything off the shelf at any time without considering if I had a good balance of historical fiction that month. Sometimes you just feel like reading ten contemporaries or a bunch of dystopian in a row. Sometimes you just can’t take another WWII novel, even though all the popular books are set in 1944. Maybe you just want to read a slew of backlist books rather than anything new. And that’s ok. Read what you love and love what you read.

In a typical month, I do not finish at least 2-3 books, not because they’re poorly written, but because they don’t hold my interest. In the last month, however, I have finished and enjoyed every single book I’ve started, read more than my monthly average, and finished a range of genres (historical, dystopian, and contemporary). Will the trend continue? I suppose we’ll see.

How about you? Do you struggle to find stories that are truly engaging or have you found the perfect balance? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Sparks Fly Upward Update

Yes, that is a Storm Trooper. No, my next book doesn’t suddenly involve the Galactic Empire. Like this photo, however, Sparks Fly Upward does take place in San Francisco, and I couldn’t resist including it. As a historical fiction author, I have few reasons to share my love of Star Wars, so thank you to John Moeses Bauan on Unsplash for making this mashup happen.

Drafting for Sparks Fly Upward is right on track. This month has seen the addition of more unexpected scenes (because why not?), the removal/combination of a couple others, and everything in this perfect disaster of a novel is (more or less) falling together nicely.

Across Oceans Now Available in Audio

Audiobook listeners, rejoice! In addition to paperback and eBook, Across Oceans (Over the Atlantic Book 1) is now available on Audible and iTunes. As someone who rarely listens to audiobooks, I expected my review of the production files to be long and painful. Imagine my surprise when I loved listening to all 11 hours. Holly James does a fantastic job with the narration, making the characters come to life. I laughed and cried and truly enjoyed every minute. Yes, I’m biased, but I think you will enjoy it, too.

Get your copy of Across Oceans.

If you would be interested in listening to a complementary audiobook in exchange for an honest review, please reply to this email. I have a limited number of Audible codes, first come, first served. Production for Book 2, Twisted River, will begin soon and be available for purchase by early May. Audiobook release dates for my other novels are TBD.

Note for my Christian Fiction readers: While Across Oceans is considered clean, it is not directly written as Christian fiction.

Behind the Design – All Now Mysterious

In October, I shared my cover design on Instagram for Jennifer Q. Hunt’s upcoming 1920s Christian historical, All Now Mysterious, which releases on January 26. This was one of my favorite designs so far as we were able to include so much of the story’s deep emotions. I had fun sneaking little pieces of the characters into the overall design. If you’ve read the first book, Through Thorny Ways, you may be able to spot them:

1. Authentic 1920s stained glass window taken from one of the Vanderbilts’ houses (photo from The Metropolitan Museum of Art)
2. Pilot Davis Rutledge’s plane (photo from Unsplash)
3. Journalist Margaret Rose Woodhouse’s typewriter and Arilee Rutledge’s books (photos from Unsplash)

As with all of Jennifer’s books, I love this series. It’ll makes you think about life and faith a little differently. Historical Fiction Author, Heather Wood’s review perfectly sums up this series: “The stuff of legends. Ten stars. Everything Christian fiction should be.”

Releasing in January

Need another read? Here are the new releases I’m excited about:

1. All Now Mysterious by Jennifer Q. Hunt – the second book in her 1920s Wisteria House series surrounding family secrets, the KKK, and the Scopes Monkey trial.
2. Of Love and Treason by Jamie Ogle – a fictional account of St. Valentine, Christian persecution, and faith during the Roman empire
3. A Season of Harvest by Lauraine Snelling – the fourth book in the Nielson family saga set along the 1800s westward trail
4. The Seamstress of Acadia by Laura Frantz – 1750s historical romance set on Canada’s Acadian shore and Colonial America at the beginning of the French and Indian War
5. Calling on the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund – arranged marriage set during the 1849 St. Louis cholera epidemic

Welcome to the first edition of my Extra Edition newsletter! I’m excited to bring you bonus content each month with a special inside look at my novels and the history behind them.

Christmas seems like the perfect time of year to start as its all about happy endings and new beginnings. There’s something so magical about that time of year, and ultimately inspiring as we celebrate the birth of Christ. And while I love watching those cheesy Christmas romances all year long, there are only a few that make it onto my annual holiday list (Check out Second Chance Christmas and The Spirit of Christmas for two of my favorites.) Logically, it also makes sense that all my books, except one, include a scene from the Christmas season. Keep reading for some of my characters’ favorite Christmas moments.

Sparks Fly Over Christmas

The following letter comes from the draft of my current work in progress, Sparks Fly Upward. It’s written from Martha to Garrett during December of 1854, about two years after they’ve parted ways on the westward trail. These letters will form the foundation for their friendship during the six years Martha is in Larksong and Garrett is in San Francisco. It is during this Christmas that Martha discovers how beautiful service can be when done out of love. (Note: Final text may change by publication.)

Dear Mr. Lark,

I haven’t received your last letter yet—mail seems to take longer in the winter, or maybe it’s that I look forward to it more—but I had to send Christmas blessings. Although, when you receive this, it will probably be March and you’ll think of spring. I used to hate spring because it meant summer was coming and heat, especially when my family lived in Carolina. Remember the mosquitos? But we also had peach trees Papa loved to lift me up to pick from. He called me his sweet peach. I do miss him.

I’ve enclosed a sprig of spruce bough from above our front door. I doubt it will retain its aroma, but I aim to try. We’ve decorated the lodges this year and everything is beautiful. I still struggle to believe I celebrate Christmas in my own home, or rather Jamison and Coraline’s home, but I think of it as mine. This year I serve them because I choose to, not because I am forced to. I decorate the home alongside them rather than being watched as I do so. It fills me with such joy that I do not need the fire to warm me. There is a true beauty in a life of service to those we love.

I’ve been praying for you, Garrett, and for Josiah, that the Lord is with you in California. Coraline tells me of the stories she heard on the trail and Mr. Reed always has something to tell of his times there. They aren’t tales of a positive sort. Jamison says that you’re struggling and do not know when you’ll be home. I think of that one verse: “Do not be led astray; bad company corrupts good morals.” I pray God favors you and you can return to us soon. We all miss you.

God go with you,

Martha Louis

Pick Your Party Dress

One of the early scenes in my first novel, Across Oceans, takes place at a Christmas Eve party at the prominent Winchester family estate in Hampshire, England. All the most affluent would have attended and even some of the less affluent (what we would call upper middle class today.) Like most events of the British elite, it was essential to wear the latest fashions, so as not to make a social blunder. This was especially important for young ladies, such as sisters Maggie and Tena, who were within their season (aka debutante year) and expected to catch a husband.

The gowns below are some typical ladies evening attire of the early 1910s. None of these are quite right for the sisters’ dresses in Across Oceans (hello, copyright restrictions), but I do imagine that #1 or #3 would be a good fit for Maggie, while Tena would choose #4 or #6. Which dress would you pick to wear to the party? I love all of these, but my first choice is in the caption below.

As American As Apple Pie

In our house, one of our favorite desserts is my husband’s apple crumble pie. It is absolutely delicious, having graced many a holiday meal. In fact, it will be present again this year at Christmas.

In Broken Lines, our two main characters share an apple pie during their “getting to know you” conversation at a New Years Eve Party (not technically Christmas, but still the Christmas season). Their pie was inspired by my husband’s recipe, which can be found below. I invite you to make our tradition part of your tradition this year.

Olden Time Christmas Playlist

Looking to switch up your Christmas music this year? How about adding some carols recorded in the 1910s? These would have been the same songs my characters listened to in the Over the Atlantic and War Across Waters series, complete with the authentic crackles of pre-modern-era recording equipment.

Listen and Enjoy!

Recommended Christmas Reads

And finally, a few recommended Christmas reads to help us prepare for the birth of Christ:

• Santa and the Christ Child by Nicholas Bakewell is one of my childhood favorites, blending religious and secular traditions as Santa goes on a journey to Bethlehem to meet the Christ Child.
• Joy to the World: How Christ’s Coming Changed Everything (And Still Does) is nonfiction by Catholic convert, Scott Hahn, encouraging readers to dig a little deeper into how Christ’s birth changed the world.
• If you haven’t listened to the Biblical Christmas story in awhile, the Hallow app has wonderful narration by Jonathan Roumie (plays Jesus in The Chosen) of all four gospels.

Until next month, happy reading!

Happy December, readers! In last month’s newsletter, I announced my decision to take a six month sabbatical from social media, starting December 1, exchanging those posts for a new bonus content newsletter beginning December 18 (for those who opted in.) Your support of this decision was overwhelming and definitely affirmed my decision. Many of you included stories of your own social media breaks and how rewarding you found the experience. Several authors noted that, while on break, they maintained rewarding connections with their readers. I genuinely hope that will be the case for me and you over the next six months.

If you missed last month’s newsletter, there’s still time to sign up for the monthly bonus content. Simply, complete the form at the link below to get all the inside info.

Meet the Author

With so many new subscribers (Welcome, friends!), it seemed like the perfect time for a “Meet the Author” refresh. I’ve included an infographic below with fun details on me and my books. Do we have anything in common? Was there anything that surprised you? Reply to this email and let me know!

Fictional Characters, Real Settings

With the holidays coming up, festivity is to be expected. When it came to festivity in the 1910s – at least for the rebellious youth – dance halls often came to mind. Featured in my novel, Twisted River, St. Louis’s Cave Hall was one of the premier dance halls of the time and for many decades after under the name Castle Ballroom. Located above a row of Olive Street shops, Cave Hall’s wood-planked dance floor and extended ceiling encompassed most of the building’s top two floors. From the raised stage at its farthest end, a mixed band led hundreds of couples to the rhythms of a fresh ragtime beat. Up above, a narrow balcony allowed space to observe the dancing or spend more intimate time in its dark corners. But it was on the hall’s edges that the boisterous gaiety was at its most extreme. Trussed up ladies and their beaus shuffled together in merry conversation, often discussing nothing of more consequence than the latest twenty-minute nickelodeon film. They were out on the town; talk of employment and politics were serious topics for parlors and dining tables, not rebellious dance halls.

Built in 1908 by Cornelius Ahern and Herman Albers, the hall was completely non-alcoholic, allowing it to thrive even throughout Prohibition. According to records, the infamous Morality Squad only visited one night in December 1911, hoping to enforce laws against inappropriate dancing. Supposedly forgetting that the hall was closed on Monday, they simply left. Otherwise, they may have witnessed the dances performed by Twister River‘s characters: the Grizzly Bear, Turkey Trot, and Lame Duck, amongst others. After many years in disrepair, Castle Ballroom was demolished in 2012.

What I Read in 2023

As the year comes to a close, here are my recommended reads from 2023, listed by genre then by time period for historicals. Have you read any of these? Which books should I add to my must-read list in 2024?

1690s Scotland: Royal and Ancient by Amanda Lauer; Post-Revolutionary War: Adrift by Rhonda Ortiz; Pre-Civil War/Antebellum: 12 Days of Courting Miss Thomas by Dani Renee (only available to her newsletter subscribers); Civil War: A River Between Us by Jocelyn Green; 1920s: Meet Me at the Clock by Tanya E. Williams, In Spotlight and Shadow by Rachel Scott McDaniel, The Metropolitan Affair by Jocelyn Green, and Through Thorny Ways by Jennifer Q. Hunt; Great Depression: In a Far-Off Land by Stephanie Landsem; World War II Germany: Cradles of the Reich by Jennifer Coburn. Note: Due to the nature of the story, Cradles of the Reich is not a clean read, but I found it to be thought-provoking.

Firetender and Enkindle in Me by Erin Lewis; Anyone But Him by Theresa Linden; Cathey’s Creek Road and Already in the Kudzu by Hannah Hood Lucero; The One She Can’t Forget and The One Who Promised Forever by Tara Grace Ericson; Much Ado About a Latte, Sold on Love, and Two to Tango by Kathleen Fuller.

Kingdom of Lies* and City of Secrets by Megan Lynn Rose (Romantasy); The Divided Kingdom by Allison Ramirez (Dystopian); Azure Blaze by Elizabeth Natalia (Superhero); The Desolate World, The Rejected King*, and The Promised Prince* by Kortney Keisel. (*=Re-read and even better the second time around)
