Good morning!

Cooler temperatures than we’ve had, but still very humid. I’m anxiously waiting for those crisp autumn days. You know the ones I’m talking about. A whiff of cool air, minus the wet blanket. Leaves drifting to the ground with a breeze, and if you’re really lucky a hint of smoke from a fireplace.

While you pine for sweater days, I have three giveaways for you!

Yes, three!

And what’s even better?

They are free!

I don’t know if that’s great marketing. I could be crazy! I know my children and grandchildren would agree.

I’m so excited to be on this next journey of life! I’m thrilled to be back in my writing chair after moving to another state, and all that entails. (You’ve all been there. I’ll write about all the gruesome details later.) To jumpstart my enthusiasm and to get this long-awaited series into my reader’s hands, I’m making it as easy as possible for you. I want you to become acquainted and fall in love with this family as you read Elisabeth and Jonathan’s story in Sweet Hope, book one. And then continue on with Katie and Mike’s story in Sweet Belief, book two. These first two books in the series are available here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Deborah-Ann-Dykeman/author/B01B2BYPK6?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1787674527&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=bc67f6ac-f1c4-4eda-98f2-2bf775f18946

Book one, Sweet Hope will be available for a free e-book beginning August 26th and will be available for five days. Book two, Sweet Belief will be available for a free e-book beginning September 1st and will be available for five days as well.

Writing has always been a love of mine. Except for school reports! I didn't cherish those moments. I began with poems in grade school, and short little stories that I illustrated. I created something for each family celebration and probably wore my family out. But I graduated to a longer 'book' by the time I was 18. Following traditional romance novel writing, I pounded out a pretty cheesy story on a Royal typewriter I had found at a garage sale. You didn't worry about your nails when using one of those! When four of our five children were still young, I wrote my first full-length book back in 1998. I followed it with three more in that series. Those are my current WIP, needing many updates and editing. I'm happy to say as of this writing, the fourth in the Love Defined series is written and waiting for edits! I can't wait to get this final book in the series into my reader's hands! Currently, I have published twelve books, creating the covers on most of them. The cover work is something I really enjoy! Stay tuned for more on that. My husband and I have been married for forty-one years, and we have five children and nine grandchildren. I've been a homeschooling mom, Sunday school teacher, AWANA director and a pastor's wife. I've worked as a CNA and an Activity Director. When I'm not busy writing...which I love, BTW, I'm working on home projects, marketing and attending events, where I love to meet you...my readers!
