The Advent Bride
Melanie Douglas, a lonely school teacher and widower Henry O’Keeffe, the overworked, grieving father of her most troubled student. When Melanie challenges Henry’s negligent fathering, Henry, to avoid admitting any failing, challenges her to be a teacher and manage her school. Melanie finds a mysterious box in the cold, attic where she is boarding with a cruel old woman—the only house with an available room in the small Nebraska frontier town.
Hidden drawers give her an idea of how to wring good behavior out of Simon.
As Melanie and little Simon search the box for hidden gifts, Henry becomes involved and while searching for hidden gifts, he finds something far more important...the tender heart for his son that seemed to have died with his wife. And an awakening love for the young woman who is bringing his family back to life.
The three of them journey toward Christmas one secret at a time, learning about God, about each other and about how love can replace sadness with joy.

Congrats to Tina and Melissa! Woot Woot!!! You guys (gals) are awesome! :))
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to that blog about balancing family, friends, work and writing. I've not been doing such a great job lately. I'm under contract (YAY!) and am generally on track but I am not where I should be. At least I still have until January 1st. But in the meantime, revisions for the first book I sold will come in and I'll have to deal with those.
ReplyDeleteCalgon, take me away!
Oh, and many congratulations to all the award winners! Seekerville did well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun times!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners - happy reading! And thank you for having me as a guest again this past week. Always a great time!
~Amber
Congratulations to the Winners!
ReplyDeleteJan
I'm up in the wee smalls to work before going to the grape festival where my wedding trilogy will be set.... and so excited to see twitter and facebook plastering Tina and Melissa's names, Sara Ella and Laurie.... Oh, I'll have missed someone, but it's just crazy fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd HUGE RUTHY CONGRATS to ALL FINALISTS. Honestly to make it through the judging (especially in a non-specific category like short contemporary because it included ALL short novels, not just romance) is a huge accomplishment.
Brava to all! And to our Teeeeeena, Hooray Again To You! Vince had it right, he said "God knew way back when that I'd be praying NOW and he can make things happen."
Oh, that God!!!
Marilyn, just go day by day. Don't look down the long road except to plan the days... but go day by day with the small goals and it all adds up! You can do this!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Tina, Melissa, and all the other ACFW winners.
ReplyDeleteJeanne T, big accomplishment, so happy for you.
Safe journey home going out to all travelers.
Great job keeping the home fires burning, Ruthy.
Gosh,you guys are so nice. A person could get a large head. But fortunately we have Ruthy to kick us in the buns if that happens.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to meet, Jackie Layton, Terri Weldon, Cecelia Dowdy, Sara Ella, Candee Fick, Meghan Carver, Dana Lynn, Clari Dees, Linette Mullins in person for the first time.
Those teeny tiny Blogger photos do not do any of you lovely ladies justice!
oooooh, oooooh, Susan Ann Mason and Hallee Bridgeman too. And Kate Breslin, Mark Abel and Susan Crawford.
ReplyDeleteBrain overload onset in progress.
So, so, so happy for you all but especially Tina!! Even ManO knows Tina!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners and the finalists. You are a great bunch!
Peace, Julie.
Loved all the pictures! What a fantastic recap of a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Melissa & Tina! Woo! Hoo! I bet you are both doing the Snoopy Dance!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the pictures!
Smiles & Blessings,
Cindy W.
So where's the correction that says you were contest buzzed and missed the randomizer that says Mary also won chocolate? :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're still buzzing.
WOW TEENSTER I am soooooo excited for you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!!!!
And Congrats to all the other Seeker winners. YAY!!!!
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tina! I loved that book. SO thrilled to see you honored for your work.
Congrats to Melissa, too! What a great night!
Thanks for the photos and keeping us apprised of all the events. The week passed quickly on this end.
RUTHY, I passed the goals - got in over 12,000 words as of yesterday. That's double my typical weekly count. I will work toward keeping that up, although a lot suffered around the house while I was writing. Like some people need clean socks and such. And, oh yeah, they expect to EAT! Spoil-sports...
Oh id love to win an Amazon giftcard.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Tina and Melissa. I'm so very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd also congrats to Jeanne T. on the Frazier.
Congratulations to all the winners! Excited for all of you.
ReplyDeletethank you for all the pictures! I have loved looking at them. Hope everyone gets rested after the busy week
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Tina and all the winners this weekend.
ReplyDeleteTina was stunning in her new Pashmina.
Everybody who visits Seekerville is a winner because of all the great things you ladies do for us. Thanks!
TEENA SAID: "What a great hotel. I want to burst into song at odd moments. IS THAT WRONG??"
ReplyDeleteLOL ... and THIS before you even won your Carol Award!!! I bet the singing didn't stop after that, not even in the shower!!
SOOOO thrilled for you and ALL the winners!! YAY, JEANNE T, too -- you guys ROCK!!!
I didn't attend the conference, but I did hang out in Starbucks and with the Seekers after nine, so I had a BLAST!! Miss all the Seekers SOOO much and especially the Seekers holding down the fort at home -- wish you had been here!!
I was going to say, "now back to normal," but that isn't true because BIRTHDAY MONTH is upon us -- nothing normal about that!!! :)
Hugs!!
Julie
Congratulations to Tina, Jeanne and Melissa!
ReplyDeleteLyndee, darling, no woman's tombstone should EVER SAY "She kept a great house"....
ReplyDeleteGAG.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!! HAPPY DANCING!
This at-home Seeker had a lot of fun here.... My four-year-olds are learning fire safety and I finished a delightful proposal.... and 10K in my cowboy book, so that one will wrap up in the next two weeks and >breathe< I'll have my FIRST WATERBROOK NOVEL UNDER MY BELT.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how happy I am to be doing this!
So the stay-at-homes might go another time.... I'm thinking Nashville might be Ruthy-Hangs-In-The-Lobby when she's not checking out country singers!!!! I love Nashville.
“That's the end!”
ReplyDeleteNOT!
It’s just the beginning!
Now that the winners and finalists have learned how to do it and have seen their success tickets validated, you’ll see a burst of creative energy unseen up to now! Just look at Ruth’s production since her Carol nomination! Ruth is still picking up speed!!! (It’s getting scary!)
I’m so happy for Tina because it just makes it seem like all’s right with the world. Tina has fine tuned her craft with countless writing posts and endless how-to WE links. In “Mending the Doctor’s Heart”, Tina has written what she knows. The medical realism in that story gave it an extra dimension of delight!
The Seekers are also Finders!
Also trusted guides!
Also an inspiration in inspiration!
There seems to be no better time for a Birthday celebration!
Just think how much better writers we all can become in the coming year.
Thanks all.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!

Gorgeous dress and YOU, and pashmina too - WTG ladies - you did good. :)
(Very late commenting - but wanted to!)
Ruthy, YES, Nashville!!! That's the one I'm waiting for cause it's in August.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Tina, on your award. Congratulations to Melissa as well. I also saw on Tina's twitter feed that a fellow member of my local chapter won an award, so I'd like to give a shout out to Kristi Ann Hunter as well.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone had a fabulous time in St. Louis and is now pumped up for some great writing.
YAAAAAAY, TINA!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGot home earlier today, but crashed before getting caught up on computer stuff.
Had a great time. Seeing Tina and Melissa up there getting their awards rounded out a wonderful weekend.
Congrats to Tina and Melissa....so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the pics shared of ACFW.....enjoyed them!
Great WE, and to all the Seekers and Villagers I saw at ACFW---it was WONDERFUL seeing you all. And to those who couldn't attend this year, you were missed.
ReplyDeleteSOOOO EXCITED about TINA!!! I told her this morning that I think she should now be called: Tina Carol ;)
Also EXCITED about Melissa Jagears and HER Carol Award!! And I got to see her precious baby boy this morning in the hotel--such a cutie!
Congrats to both Tina and Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI look a little scary in that picture with Mary, was that after the people were soooooo not going to let me in because I didn't have the right card?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the congrats everyone, SOOO glad Tina and I got some fun bookshelf bling together!
Awesome pics, links, info!!! It's always such a warm pleasure to see the Seeker ladies and other Seeker friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated and congrats to all the winners!!!
