Thankful for Readers OH MY

Posted on November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

It’s so wonderful to wake up and discover the book you have listed for a free prom has done well. A group of Christian authors who love their fans decided to give back this holiday.

We put many of our books at free and 99 cents. And you all have blessed us with picking them up.

Here is the link to find out what is available. CLICK HERE

Fall Reading

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

The calendar has flipped and it’s fall even though it doesn’t feel anything like that where I live. But I know the cooler weather is coming and soon that will fade and winter will be here.

I’ve partnered with other authors for a sale on books to fill your e-readers for such a time. Reading, hot drinks and comfy blankets are my favorite way to spend my evenings. I’m thinking you might feel the same?

You can find two of my books in this sale A Time to Bake and A Bride’s Dilemma. https://books.bookfunnel.com/fallforfiction/70cjhc109f Head on over and see what grabs your interest.

It’s no longer mine

Posted on August 8, 2019August 8, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

It’s true once I see a book published it no longer belongs to me or rather my mind. It belongs to the reader.

Maybe that’s the true meaning of release day, not just that a book is for sale but that it is out there ready to be discovered by a reader.

Maybe that reader is already reading the series and can’t wait to get into the next book. Or maybe it’s a new reader just discovering my work.

Either way, it’s no longer mine. Today A Time to Heal belongs to you the reader.

Do you like cats or dogs?

Posted on August 1, 2019August 1, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

Today A Time to Dance is on a Kindle Countdown! Starting at 99 cents!

But what does that have to do with liking a cat or a dog?

This book has both! A cat and a chocolate lab! Add that to romance and a bit of mystery.

I have a cat, we used to have four. Here’s a photo of Oliver. He rules the house.

And my son has a dog so I get my dog fix since we don’t have one right now. His name is Patton.

The book is done

Posted on July 18, 2019July 18, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

It’s not out yet, not until Aug. 8th. But it is available for preorder on Amazon.

This was a fun book to write. Lori and Lucy were in the other A Time for Love books and they needed to tell their stories. In a Time to Heal they got their chance.

Tidying Up? Cozy Minimalist?

Posted on March 14, 2019March 15, 2019 by Diana Brandmeyer

It’s spring weather sort of…rainy, gloomy and partly sunny.

Over the winter I’ve watched some of the Netflix series Tidying Up and read the Cozy Minimalist. I’ve been inspired to remove some of the things in my home.

But…

The idea of piling all my clothes on the bed and donating the ones that don’t bring me joy sounds like a bad idea. I’m tired of wearing my winter clothes and it’s not warm enough to switch over for the next season. If I followed Marie Kondo’s advice next winter, I’d have to shop for an entire new wardrobe. Sounds like fun.

But…

My bank account has been following the minimalist life style too long for me to purchase much of anything new.

Then there are the books. So many books in my house and I’ve donated a lot of those already. I’m going to say the ones that remain all bring me joy or like the ones my laptop sits on earn their keep.

Collections to pair down? I had to think about that one. I don’t seem to have those either unless you count the millions of files and photos on computer. I suppose I could take the next ten years and tidy those up. Nah. Can’t see those so they can’t possible count as clutter, right?

There is one room in my house that could use some tidying.

The sewing room. 

Shudder. That room is a scary mess. So many things were piled in there when my son and his wife and my grandkids moved in while their house was being built. Sure they took their stuff out but the room is ‘out of sorts’ in a major way.

This is where following these plans becomes tricky. It seems to be the area that I’m not ready to let go of that causes me and maybe others to hold back from letting go.

That room will take a long time to go through and I’ll have to evaluate if I want to keep sewing. I think I do but honestly, I haven’t sewn anything in five years. But I want too, I think. I don’t have time until summer to tackle this issue, but it is weighing on me. And that’s when the tidying up and minimalist people say it’s time to get to work and find out what’s important enough to stay.

I’m giving going to set a deadline for next September to have that room back together or packed to donate. Pray for me!

What about you? Have you hopped on this crazy train of living like a minimalist?

A Time to Bake

Posted on January 27, 2018May 31, 2025 by Diana Brandmeyer

Book 2 is here!

Don’t forget you can grab book 0 for free All in Good Time for free if you don’t already have it. If you get the newsletter then you should have it on your ebook device– if you downloaded it.

What a fun book to write. I was so hungry for cupcakes after writing the farmer’s market scene. Seriously thinking I should attempt to create of few of them in real life, but I’m not great at baking and I’m gluten-free which makes changing a basic recipe a challenge.

So what’s this book about? Glad you asked!

She’s an impulsive risk-taker. He’s got trust issues and a secret past. Can they be the perfect combination or a recipe for disaster?

Alison Dahl works as a pharmaceutical rep for a struggling company. Not wanting to see if she’s next to be laid off, her entrepreneurial spirit kicks in. With a leap of faith, she quits her job and heads to the lake town she loves to open a cupcake shop.

Chad Hastings, a widowed dad known for his loyalty and dependability, has his hands full with a son and a few overzealous matchmaking friends.

When Chad is hired as the general contractor for the cupcake shop remodel, his friends see him and Alison as the perfect recipe for a sweet ending.

Chad’s secret could melt away any hope of a sweet ending.

Can she look beyond his past mistakes?

Can he look past her impulsive risk-taking?

 

Get it in paperback or Ebook!
