GOD’S DAUGHTER Quotes Pin Series

We still have some Lazy Days of Summer book reviews coming down the pike, but I couldn’t wait to launch this next blog series.

I wanted to share little bits of my Viking novel, God’s Daughter, with you, so I decided to go the PicMonkey route and give you pinnable quotes and pictures. I will freely admit it took me a full two hours to get one of these ready to go…not as simple as it looks, at least for me!

These pins will give you a hint at Gudrid’s voice in the novel, and hopefully make you salivate a little to read the book, releasing Novemeber first!

Today, I’m going to give you a quote from the Prologue. This is the only part of the novel that’s written in third person…and Gudrid is just a young girl. It’s quite sad, but it gives you a hint of what Gudrid is repressing and dealing with all her life.

Oh, and please pin these babies to your Pinterest boards! I’d like to drum up excitement for these Viking travelers/warriors/families early in the game!

Thank you all. Hope you enjoy this series. Here we go with the first pin!:

    Excellent point, Voni. And I have an idea this will be a theme in this novel…the pagan gods' desires versus the Christian God's….

    Wow, it looks beautiful! I have exactly zero photoshop skills, so I'm very impressed. 🙂

    Thank you, Faith! Like I said, it took me a LOOONG while to get the hang of it. I can still spend way too much time on PicMonkey! I found free photos at morguefile.com. And I really hope that has nothing to do with real morgues.

    Thank you, Gwen! It's a bit of a downer, but just wanted to ease into Gudrid's life a bit.

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
It’s been a long week with continuing sickness ( It’s been a long week with continuing sickness (colds), but I still got to enjoy some delights of the #Appalachianspring that is trying to make its way across these mountains. Things that have made me happy this week were an amazing sunset, my #tulips I had to bring in before a frost, coffee ☕️, my Mary Higgins Clark book from the library, and my favorite mountain as the spring green starts moving across it 💚🌳 What things have made you happy this week? #authorofinstagram #authorpreneur #authorlife #wvauthor #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvwriter #southernwv #flowerstagram #maryhigginsclarkbooks
