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 was as thrilled as my students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and that encouraging other people's good works was very gratifying. 

So it is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace as I was, through the words of authors featured here. Please join me in welcoming writers of fiction, nonfiction, and devotionals; of romance, mystery, historical and contemporary stories as they share their work. 

For the final week of August and this month of historical romances, I'd like to present Carrie Fancett Pagel's  new release, "Dogwood Plantation"...

Publisher : Hearts Overcoming Press (August 31, 2020)

When a deadly yellow fever outbreak draws Cornelia Gill back home, her new independent 

life must be abandoned. Injured veteran, Carter Williams, likewise must return to Dogwood 

Plantation when he suffers grievous family losses. Both become caretakers to younger family members. As the War of 1812 heats up, two wounded hearts begin to heal. But can they manage all that life has handed them?
