Book signing photos of The Bride Wore Spurs

I'm very blessed to have wonderful friends who support my books and try to attend every signing. These pictures are from late April when I signed The Bride Wore Spurs at The Bookmark on North Anthony in Fort Wayne.



Lynn, Nicolina, Lou

I've been friends with some of these ladies for years. Some I met in our first neighorborhood and our kids grew up together. Some are friends from church and ladies' Bible study. Some rubber stamp and others play golf and bridge with me. Isn't it fun to see how our lives intertwine?

Four chances to win a copy of The Bride Wore Spurs!

The cowgirl takes a husband!

To keep the Texas ranch she loves, Hannah Parrish will wed a man she doesn’t. Cowpokes won’t take orders from a young, single female. But while her exasperating neighbor Matt Walker jokes about her being a mere debutante, Hannah is a rancher to the core. Just like Matt.

“Will you marry me?” It’s a question widowed Matt never intended to ask again. Now spirited Hannah is asking him for a marriage of convenience! Yet whether she’s birthing a calf or caring for a young orphan, the tomboy next door is becoming the partner Matt always hope for. Now he must convince her the greatest strength comes in trusting your heart to another—and your future to God….

If you'd like to win a copy of The Bride Wore Spurs, LIH, April 2013, go to Seekerville and leave a comment and to Goodreads to leave a comment in the Q&A. Thanks for your interest in my book!

Blessings, Janet

Send me a photo of you with a copy of The Bride Wore Spurs and I'll put your photo on my blog

Nothing makes this author smile bigger than seeing pictures of readers holding, buying, reading my book. If you'd like to give me that smile and see yourself on this blog, send those photos to janet@janetdean.net. The most creative fun photo in my opinion will receive a ten dollar gift certificate to Amazon.

If shooting photos isn't for you, but you enjoy my books, leave a comment here and I'll put you in a drawing for a copy of The Bride Wore Spurs

Blessings, Janet

The Bride Wore Spurs

I just discovered my April 2013 release,The Bride Wore Spurs is available for pre-order on Amazon here. Can barely believe it! It's too early for a cover. I keep imagining different covers for this Texas set story but know Love Inspired Books will do a great job. I'll let you know when a cover is available. Just for the fun of it, I'm posting a couple of picture that I promise will NOT be on the cover.

I couldn't resist this huge spur photo opp in Fort Worth.

Or climbing on this longhorn bull with his 6-foot horn span. All in the name of research. :-)

 

The longhorns in my story are not such gentle beasts.
