Welcome...
To Hope-Inspired Stories, for anyone who'd like to discover more about books and stories that uplift and encourage.
Several years ago, while teaching high school art, I found out I was as thrilled as my students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and that promoting other people's good works was very gratifying.
So it is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace through the words of authors featured here.
Please join me to get acquainted with writers of fiction, nonfiction, and devotionals; of romance, mystery, historical and contemporary stories share their work.
For the month of July, Hope Inspired Stories will hi-light historicals, stories from the Byzantine period up to the colonial American period. My guest this week is a well-known multi-published author MaryLu Tyndall and her latest novel...
She Walks in Love, the second book in the "Protectors of the Spear"series, published by Ransom Press, a story in a three-book series of romance and adventure during the Medieval period.
Enjoy!

It's especially meaningful to me to have MaryLu as a guest this month as my giveaway prize is a hand-made lap quilt called "French Flowers"(see below) by none other than MaryLu's sister Leandra! Quilts have been made for hundreds of years, and I thought this would be a great gift for a month of wonderful historical stories.

She must protect the Spear of Destiny at all costs
He must bring the lady safely home
But the powers of darkness chasing them have other ideas
Lady Cristiana D'Clere, the new protector of the Spear, is on the run from the steward of her estate, who has kept her drugged for years. All she ever wanted was to be safe, marry well, and raise a bevy of wee ones. Instead, she is far from home, chased by men intent on killing her and stealing the Spear of Christ for its incredible powers.
Sir Jarin the Just has never forgotten the woman who stirred his heart like no other. Determined to find and restore her to her proper place as Lady of Luxley Castle, he sets out on a journey fraught with more dangers than he ever could have foreseen. The biggest danger is to his heart, for he has vowed to remain unfettered and never surrender his freedom to a woman.
Though the Spear protects the couple along their journey, Cristiana must learn to trust the One whose blood stains the relic, while Jarin must learn to rely on powers far above his own knightly skills. For the dark magic that is chasing them may take all the powers of heaven to defeat.
Reminder: The authors presented here value your insights, so don't forget to leave a comment to be included in a drawing for a signed copy of a book by the author featured during that week.
