Please welcome author Jodie Wolfe to the blog this week. I’m so happy to have her here as we’ve gotten to know each other on Facebook. Here’s a little bit about her new release, Love in the Seams.

Mae Stafford longs for the companionship and unconditional love her sister has found in her new husband. But after years of refusing potential suitors because of a pact they made as children, Mae no longer has any choices left once their agreement is broken. She’s given up hope that God will give her what she desires most, a family of her own. Instead of dwelling on what she doesn’t have, she throws herself into her work as the recent sole owner of the local dress shop. As a promise made to his late wife, Johannes Mueller agrees to travel west to be a school teacher in Calder Springs, Texas, away from the bigotry associated with being an immigrant in New York City. He hopes to improve his life and forget his loss. Johannes isn’t counting on his five-year-old daughter’s search for a new mother when they arrive. His little LillyAnn finds ways to bring the seamstress and him together…often. Can he learn to embrace his German heritage and unlock his heart to love again?

Welcome, Jodie!

Thank you for the chance to be on your lovely blog today, Liz.

Love in the Seams is book two in my Twins & Needles Series. Both books take place in the fictional town of Calder Springs, Texas. I loosely based the town from Blanco, Texas where my husband has family.

The series is about twin sisters who made a pact to never marry. I wanted to see what it would take for each of them to find a happily-ever-after of their own. I’ve always had a fascination with twins, especially identical ones. And no, there aren’t any twins in my family that I’m aware of. 🙂 I did have the pleasure of working with twin sisters who were my beta readers to make sure I got the interaction between the twins correctly though.

In my new saga, the hero, Johannes Mueller is a new schoolteacher in Calder Springs. I loosely based some of his job interaction with my experience when I student taught. Readers have told me how they have fallen in love with his precocious six-year-old daughter, LillyAnn. She has a tendency to say things that aren’t expected. I had a son who also had the ability to keep me on my toes because you never knew what would come out of his mouth when he spoke to people, particularly strangers.

Mae Stafford is an accomplished seamstress. While I taught myself to sew and have made quite a number of things through the years, I wouldn’t call myself an expert. Mae has given up believing that God will give her what she desires most but LillyAnn has other ideas in store for the two adults in her life.
