I'm interrupting our regular <em>Make Me Think Monday </em>blog for some personal news. I promise I'm not turning View from the Front Porch into a promo blog--it's just I'm so excited about my new inspirational series debuting today.

<em>When Love Blooms </em>is now available for purchase for your Kindle. Nook and paperback versions will soon be ready too.

<a href="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/jp1600-2400.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4852" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/jp1600-2400.jpg?w=200" alt="JP1600.2400" width="200" height="300" /></a>After a hit-and-run accident leaves her mother confined to a special care facility, Darcy Clark abandons her dream of an art career. Instead, she focuses on helping her father run the struggling family landscape business. She has no time or interest in romance.

When at-risk students from her old high school become her labor force on a city park project, their teacher Andy Fitzpatrick shows up to help and keep an eye on his kids. The chemistry between Darcy and Andy is instant.

Darcy dares to daydream about the possibility of a happily-ever-after until a dark secret connecting Andy to her mother’s accident comes to light. But will the secret kill their attraction before romance can blossom?

If you've been around church long then you know the term <em>PK</em> (preacher's kid), <em>When Love Blooms</em> is the first in the Fitzpatrick family series of novellas about the siblings of Pastor Colin Fitzpatrick and his wife Patricia, who live in a small town in central Texas.

The idea for this new series came from my many years of service in church ministry.

The fact I also happen to be the wife of a PK and the mother of a PhD theologian/preacher means I've got lots of good stuff planned for the other seven siblings of the Fitzpatrick family.

I hope you'll enjoy reading <em>When Love Blooms</em> as much as I loved writing about Andy and Darcy's love story.
