Review/Endorsement by Author Rita Gerlach, Dusk to Dawn Inspirational Fiction, :
The Steeple Chase (Forget Me Not Romances) by Carrie Fancett Pagels is a heartwarming story that takes readers on a 19th century ride through 1810 Virginia. The characters are examples of the Virginians of their day, with one adventurous heroine--- the brave and determined Martha Osborne. Martha disguises herself as a man in order to 'race to the steeple' in hopes of winning so she can to bring her young brother Johnny back to her. Who doesn't love a heroine willing to put everything on the line for another? The romance and plot twists, the fleshed out characters, horses and races, will truly satisfy readers.

DeleteThis sounds great! Thanks Rita for sharing this review with us of Carrie's new story!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for all of your wonderful reviews. I used to not read novellas, because I love big, detailed books. Yet, I have been reading some amazing novellas lately that have helped change my biased attitude. That, reviews and glowing endorsements like these have play a big factor in it, as well.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I enjoy historical fiction, as I think about it, I haven't read any that take place in Virginia during the 1800's.
Carrie, I thought I was already subscribed to your newsletter, but apparently I wasn't. I am now officially a "newsy." tlhcoupon(at)Hotmail(dot)com
