​Hi all!

It seems that spring is FINALLY upon us! Yay! I hope that wherever you are, it's nice and warm and sunny. Do you feel newly inspired during spring? To me, it always feels fresh, like a season for new beginnings.... 

Speaking of fresh starts, I had my final x-rays and visit with the surgeon recently, and I got the ALL CLEAR! While I'm not going to be running a marathon any time soon, the swelling in my foot has gone down and I'm getting out and about...in good, supportive shoes.

My buddy, author Michelle Bennington, and I, were part of an awesome book event in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, in April. Held at the Forest Edge Winery, we joined a great group of authors and talked books with some wonderful readers.

NOTEWORTHY SHADY GULLY NEWS

Before my surgery last November, I was determined to complete the 1st draft of book 5 in the series. I just couldn't stand the thought of having to stop midway or break the flow of the story, especially to go....well, under the knife. Through the grace of God, I did, and I'm happy to say that after completing some other writing assignments, such as my All God's Creatures devotions for Guideposts, I've now returned to Shady Gully.

I wasn't going to announce this yet but decided to share some big news with you, my newsletter subscribers and my most loyal readers.

It is a fact of life that beginnings are always followed by endings, and Book 5 will be the last book in the series. While I love hanging out in Shady Gully with these people, I feel like most of the character arcs have evolved in a way that makes it possible to say goodbye or at least send them off into the proverbial sunset that shines over The Creek and the Cozy Corner. 

GULP. Just writing that makes me emotional. I ADORE these characters, and I hope you have as well. Anyway, I'll keep y'all up to date on my progress. I don't have an official release date yet, so stay tuned.

The good news is, this gives you time to catch up if you aren't up to date in the series. Trust me, you'll want to be current for the finale :) 

Also, if you've read my books, please take a minute to rate/review them on Amazon and/or Goodreads. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a sentence even, but it really, really, really helps me. Thanks!

Lastly, congrats to Valerie Smith from Kansas, a new FRIEND of HALLIE subscriber, who won a FREE audiobook of The Shepherds.

Speaking of the audiobook, I just started listening to Kathy Fox Vancil's narration of The Shepherds, and wow, she's something special. Top notch talented!

Check out a snippet of the prologue HERE.

And because it's spring and the Prologue in THE SHEPHERDS really fired me up, I'd like to give away 3 FREE COPIES of The Shepherds audiobook!! Interested? Email me HERE!

Until next time, stay fearless and faithful!

​Hallie
