“Why did this have to happen now? I knew I should’ve waited until next week to come to town for supplies.” Catherine set her fists on her hips and kicked a clod of dirt rather than the separated wagon wheel she longed to vent her frustrations on. No sense in making a bad situation worse.


“Mama, someone’s comin’.”


Her hands dropped from her

Quotes by Janice Thompson  (?)

“I had to wonder if the Lord above had flashed a heavenly spotlight over my head and whispered, "Preach this sermon just for her. She's not going to get the message otherwise.”
Janice Thompson, Fools Rush In

“It's easy to write upcoming scenes in books and television shows. Trusting God to write them in real life is a lot harder. But it's worth it. And you have to admit, it's an adventure.”
Janice Thompson, Stars Collide

“He flashed the warmest smile I'd ever seen, and my heart felt comforted. Maybe D.J. saw my insecurities, my fears. Maybe he knew God still had a lot of work to do in my life before I'd be good girlfriend material.
Or maybe, just maybe, he saw beyond all that and simply wanted to flirt with the wedding coordinator instead of rehearse for the big night.
I did my best to relax...and let him.”
Janice Thompson, Fools Rush In

Ashley, thank you so much! I'm so grateful for your comment! You'll love this news. . .I'm about to write a story about a Greek family! It's true! I can't give you the title because it's subject to change, but it's going to be the second book in my second series for Revell. The first book in that series (Stars Collide) comes out in December. Stayed tuned for more chaos!

Ashley Mrs. Thompson,
I just finished Fool's Rush In and I have to say.......I LOVED it!! I've never felt more Italian in my life. LOL Considering I'm greek. Can't wait to get my hand on a copy of Swing On A Star and It Had To Be You. I know I'll be sad when this series end, though.:~)

Janice Thompson Awesome! Glad to see you here.
