Happy March, readers! First, I have one quick favor to ask. On February 1, several email providers initiated new rules for receiving bulk emails, such as author newsletters. I won’t get into the technical specifics, but basically, I had to update some code behind-the-scenes to try to keep my emails out of my readers’ spam/junk folders. To determine if it worked, I would appreciate if you could reply to this email and let me know where you received this newsletter – either in your inbox, in a promotional tab, or in your spam/junk folder. Thank you in advance!

Off Social Discovery #3 – I have friends.

I am now three months into my six-month social media sabbatical, and learning new things every day. On the heels of last month’s FOMO discovery, here’s what I’ve discovered this month: By feeling like we have to be friends with everybody, we inadvertently feel like we’re friends with nobody (or very few). Who else can relate?

Despite the connections I’ve made on social media, which are wonderful and amazing, it’s been a long time since I felt like I had many real friends. I have three or four close friends and that’s it. Since leaving social media, however, I realized I have more friends than I ever believed. I don’t mean those friends you spill your guts over – that’s still reserved for the select few – but I’m talking about the people you share parenting stories with, who send you fun memes, or laugh with you at the church women’s night. Those you enjoy hanging out with, who ask how you’re doing after you’ve been sick, or send a random text while watching a show you both enjoy. Whether we realize it or not, we all have friends like these, and it’s easy to overlook their blessings in our lives. We expect friendships to be instant, to be as easy as likes, comments, and shares online. Following takes mere seconds, while friendship takes time.

I am following over 300 people on Instagram and 600 on Facebook (I think, I’m not logging in to find out). It would be unrealistic to form close friendships with that many, yet so often we’re told to connect with all our followers on a personal level. That is unrealistic and unhealthy. It is expecting something from ourselves and others that we can never achieve, and both sides will be left disappointed. There are, of course, instances where social media followers become real friends; I have a few authors who I now speak with regularly over text, email, and/or video chat, and I treasure those conversations. For the majority of followers, however, its good to understand those experiences for what they are – an enjoyable yet surface level connection over mutual interests – and never allow them to replace real friendship.

If you’re also trying to determine where your real friendships lie, I suggest starting with a prayer over your friends/followers list. Ask God to help you determine which are life-giving and God-honoring. Then consider all the ways you can connect with them. Is social media the best way? For me, your personal emails are 10 times more rewarding than any like or comment on a post. Is that true for you as well?

If you’re a woman searching for God-honoring friendships, I also recommend joining your local Walking with Purpose Bible study. My church’s group is a beautiful community where I’ve made many Christ-centered friendships.

Sparks Fly Upward Cover Reveal

So, what do you think? I personally love it! This is the sixth version I’ve created over the past year. I discovered that by trying to bring accuracy to one of the story’s key locations, the design had lost the overall feel of the story. So, I ditched the original background and thankfully, finally found the right balance. Martha’s dress is perfectly suited to her character and is worn during a key scene, the background colors and sparks emphasize the characters’ search for hope, and the red valances add a hint of theatricality.

As with past books, I am offering an exclusive pre-order discount of $2.99 on eBooks through my online store or available for $4.99 at other retail outlets. Signed paperback pre-orders are also available through my online store only, and unsigned copies will be available for purchase elsewhere on release day.

Pre-Order Sparks Fly Upward

Have you fallen down a rabbit hole lately?

I have a confession – I tend to not close my internet browser tabs. On my desktop, where I do most of my writing, I always have my email open, the etymology dictionary and the regular dictionary, and at least one or two other tabs related to my current research. At the time of writing this, it was nautical and railroad maps.

On my phone, the number of tabs is much, much higher. Let’s not even give a number. What amused me most was the range of topics. I always tell people that I write (and frankly live) in organized chaos. I’ll let you decide. Here’s some of what stuck around:

Those last two questions were from a book I recently beta read and were too funny not to include. Do you leave your browsers open? What is the weirdest topic you’ve recently searched for?

Releasing in March

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

1. Set in Stone by Kimberley Woodhouse – the second book in her digging-up-dinosaur-bones historical romance series
2. When the Flames Ravaged by Rhonda Droagomir – Circus fires blaze in 1944 Hartford, Connecticut
3. A Royal Arrangement by Amanda Schimmoeller – an arranged marriage royal romance as a widowed king tries to provide for his daughter
4. A Noble Scheme by Roseanna M. White – romance, danger, and family secrets set among Edwardian high society
5. Crossfire at the Precipice by Hannah Hood Lucero – the third book in the Sons of Vigilance series, Christian romantic suspense set in the South. The first two books are amazing and highly recommended.

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.

Valentines and Ashes

My husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. We never have. We’ve always said that giving a gift on a random day means much more than a day we’re forced to love each other. It’s unlikely that you’ll find many (if any) Valentine’s Day scenes in my books, but I do enjoy the story behind the holiday. Did you know that this year Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday (the start of Lent) fall on the same day? These two days may seem to clash, but they actually have more in common than you might think.

In the Catholic Church, there are three people attributed to being St. Valentine, all of whom were martyred. The one most commonly thought of, however, was a Roman priest who lived in the 3rd Century A.D. He was arrested and executed for performing Christian marriages which were denied by Roman law. Legend has it that, while in prison, he healed the jailor’s daughter from blindness, giving her a note that read, “From Your Valentine.” Hence, the origin of the modern exchange of Valentine’s cards.

How can we relate this to Ash Wednesday? In Biblical times, ashes were placed upon one’s body as a sign of repentance, grief, and sacrifice, and were often accompanied by fasting and the wearing of a rough material called sackcloth. In the Christian Church, ashes then became the symbol of penance in preparation for Christ’s coming death and resurrection, the most spectacular love story ever told. In a way, we can view Christ’s Passion as God’s Valentine, extending his arms and saying, “See how much I love you. No sacrifice is too great.”

No need to blush. It’s just good clean romance.

I may not officially celebrate Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love to read a really good romance. It’s why all my books have at least one central romance surrounded by one or two non-romantic plotlines. If you’re looking for good clean romance without all the ick, here are a few of my favorite historical romance couples:

• Jo and Professor Bhaer from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – I know most people are on Team Laurie for Jo, but after recently reading the novel, I understand why the professor is a perfect match for Jo’s intelligence and personality. The book also gives more insight into why Laurie and Amy are actually better suited.
• Gabi and Marcello from The River of Time series by Lisa T. Bergren – 21st century time traveler meets 14th century Italian knight and somehow they make it work. There is never a dull moment in this five-book series.
• Katie and Russell from Great Waters by Jennifer Q. Hunt – You can give me Second Chance Romance, Married Romance, and Redemption tropes all day long and this has all three. I love all Jennifer’s couples, but Katie and Russell (so far) take the cake.
• Cora and Ethan from A River Between Us by Jocelyn Green – He thinks he won’t live through the war. She’s doing all she can to survive. North meets South in this Civil War romance that was easily one of my favorites of 2023.
• Marty and Clark from Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke – This marriage of convenience story is a lovely beginning to a sweet faith-filled family saga. The movies, while rather different, are also some of my favorites. One Goodreads reviewer compared my Larksong Legacy series to this one, which I consider a huge honor.
• Any of the couples I’ve written – While my novels do have grit and tough topics, they never contain explicit scenes or open door romance. The most you’ll see is kissing and fade to black. I honestly love all of my main character couples, so it’s difficult to choose just one favorite.

Who are some of your favorite romantic couples?

San Francisco Kiss Cam

I have a little surprise just for you, my Extra Edition Adventurers. For this Valentine’s Day issue, I’m sharing the never-before-seen first kiss from Sparks Fly Upward. I’m including this scene via my website as it contains massive spoilers for those who haven’t read the first two books or those who don’t like to read anything before publication. Please do not share this text and be aware that it has not undergone final edits.

Read the Romance.

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.

Releasing in February

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

1. Hey, Jude Carpenter by Storm Shultz – The Beatles, Shakespeare, and dairy farms come together in this modern day Romeo and Juliet retelling.
2. The Rhythm of Fractured Grace by Amanda Wen – A violin, shared between the past and present, brings love, hope, and healing to two fractured faiths.
3. While the City Sleeps by Elizabeth Camden – A dentist and a police officer join forces to overcome criminal conspiracy in 1913 New York.
4. All My Secrets by Lynn Austin – Set in Gilded Age New York, three generations of women must confront the past in order to make a better future for their family.
5. The Irish Matchmaker by Jennifer Deibel – The matchmaker’s daughter has her toughest match yet – to find a widower a wife without falling for him herself.

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
