Free This SATURDAY!!!

I have an exciting announcement, and because you are my most devoted readers, I want you to know about it first. Many of my books have recently become available as e-books on amazon.com---even some of the old out-of-print titles.

Now I'm thrilled to announce that my self-published series, "The Buchanan Saga," is now available on Kindle as well. This is exciting for me, since volumes three and four of that series have been out of print and impossible to get for a long time, and now I can once again share them with my readers.

For those of you who missed this series, it begins during the Revolutionary War, and it's packed with all the things I love to write about: drama, mystery, irony, suspense, intense emotion, and of course, romance!

AND . . . this coming Saturday, May 26th, you can download Volume One, "The Captain of Her Heart" absolutely free!!! Here is the link . . .


Go look it up, but if you wait until Saturday to buy the book, you can get it free! So mark that in your planner or put a reminder on your phone! Feel free to forward this email and spread the word. I'm glad to give away a gazillion free copies this weekend!

ALSO . . . For those of you wishing to kick the summer off with a heart-racing contemporary romantic suspense novel, my dear friend and best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes is also offering her novel, A Bid For Love as a free Kindle download this Saturday May 26th.

"The Captain of Her Heart" AND "A Bid For Love" —both for free! What a great way to start the summer.


Hope you are all doing well and that you're ready for school to be out. Make sure you've got enough reading material to keep you sane through the summer months!

Thanks for all your devoted support, and for your prayers!

A Remarkable Representation of History

100 years ago, the Titanic was sailing carelessly across the Atlantic toward New York City, its crew and passengers oblivious to what was coming. It left Southampton, England on April 10, 1912 at noon, and it hit the iceberg on the night of April 14th at approximately 11:40 p.m. It took about two hours and forty minutes for it to sink.

Not a very pleasant thing to honor, all in all, but there is much I learned in researching and writing about it for my book "Passage on the Titanic," (which I hope you've all read by now) and I've realized there is much we can all learn from this significant historical event that can make us better people. If you didn't already see it, here's a link to an article I did that has just one particular insight. I hope you might pause to consider other aspects, as well.


Click HERE or the picture above to read my article in the Deseret News titled "What 9/11 taught me about the Titanic tragedy".

I also wanted to tell you about the DVD that was recently released, which was kind of a sister project to my book. My dear friend Gary Cook (the writer and director of "Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration," and "Emma Smith, My Story,") is the brains behind this beautiful documentary. I would strongly encourage you to buy it and to pass the word. Many talents, much a work, and a great deal of production costs went in to making this remarkable representation of history and its ties into faith and its Mormon connections. Click HERE for more information on the DVD.

Allow me to put in a plug for this kind of thing. If we want to continue to be able to have quality LDS products, like this DVD, available to us, we need to support the businesses that produce and sell them. If you genuinely can't afford it, that's completely understandable. But if you can afford it, I would ask that you support all the great effort and talent behind such excellent products. Thanks!

As always, I appreciate all of your support in buying and reading my bedtime stories for big people. You're the greatest! Have a great week! And when you have tough moments, just think, "At least I'm not on the Titanic."

Article: What 9/11 taught me about the Titanic tragedy

As I read and studied and watched everything I could find on the Titanic, I was overcome with a feeling that was eerily familiar. Eventually I was able to identify that feeling; it had assaulted me on Sept. 11, 2001.

An Update From Anita...

The last several weeks have gone by in kind of a blur for me, and finally today I came up for air enough to think that it would be a good idea to let you all know what's been going on.

Since I posted several weeks ago that I was going to write a book and "tweet" each day about my progress and word counts, life took one of those unexpected turns and this project has taken a completely different turn than any project ever has in my life.  As many of you know, I had six surgeries in a year, following many years of poor health, and I've been looking forward to recovering and feeling better after getting all of that behind me. Alas, I was hit with an infection that has apparently been brewing inside of me for quite some time, but it hit the surface hard during the holidays and has been very menacing since then.  I don't tell you all of that to get your pity or sympathy, but only as an explanation for the fact that my grand idea of sharing a writing journey with all of you didn't go as planned. I am doing everything I possibly can---balancing both medical and natural remedies---to combat this infection, and I feel confident that with time I will be fine.  No worries there. The infection, combined with everything else that preceded it, however, have really set me back physically, and my ability to write hard and fast just isn't with me at the moment. Some of my symptoms are extreme fatigue and a foggy brain. Not compatible with creativity. The book that was due the end of February is not even half done, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish it. When I do, I'll let you know.

In the meantime, life goes on, my editors are very kind and compassionate, I feel very blessed and I'm able to do the things that HAVE to be done. Emotionally and spiritually I'm doing great, and I have so much to be grateful for.

Anyway, that's the news from my house. Hope you are all doing well!

A Book Signing!

Dear Friends & Fans,
Tomorrow is the first day of spring and there's more snow on the ground at my house than we had through the majority of winter. It's all a matter of perspective, right?

The big news right now is that I will actually be venturing out to do a BOOK SIGNING. I don't do them very often any more, mostly due to my health challenges, but they talked me into it. So, for those of you who live close enough to make it, I'd love to see you.

The signing is...

For those of you who have been following me on Twitter, you know that the writing of my current project is not coming along very smoothly. I've been struggling with more silly health issues, but I'm sure it will all work out. I appreciate the love, support, and prayers from my readers. You're the best!
