Ten Fabulous Years…

Well… it’s official… I’ve passed a milestone. This year, I celebrated ten years being published. 

It’s been over twenty years since I started writing seriously (off and on, of course! lol) and almost twelve years since my first contract. But TEN years ago, my first two books released into the world. Now there’s 20+.

I have to say, my friends: God has been so good. It’s been a LOT of hard work. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears. A lot of life. A lot of adventure. 

This year has been an amazing year of celebrating. I’ve had three novels release: Under the Midnight Sun, The Golden Bride, and The Express Bride. (See the books tab here on my site.) And I’ve got a really fun novella coming out in the Sew in Love collection in December. 

 

On top of that – Out of the Ashes finaled in Western Writers of America’s Spur Awards, The Patriot Bride WON the Reader’s Choice Award, and my novella MissTaken Identity WON the Carol Award. It’s a joy to be able to share The JOY of Story with all of you. 

So thank you. 

Thank you for reading all these years. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and prayers. Thank you for BUYING books. I always joke and say, “Buy a book, save an author” – and I can’t tell you how true that is. I wouldn’t be able to do this without you. 

To help me celebrate ten wonderful years published, I’m going to do a giveaway. 

To enter – all you have to do is comment with how many of my books you have read (list the titles) or how many of my books you own (again, list the titles). I’ll choose a winner next week!

The Prize? A t-shirt of your choice from All Things Bookish Tees! AND two of my books of your choice (from my personal inventory here) USA shipping only.

Thank you for celebrating with me! Here’s to ten more years!

  13. I don’t think I’ve read of yours yet–so sorry! I just heard about you when I read the preview of the Patriot Bride, I think. I thought I had a MissAdventures book on my Kindle, but I can’t find it, so maybe I don’t after all. Congrats on 10 years!

  24. I really enjoy your books & was surprised to discover that I’ve only read THE MAYFLOWER BRIDE & THE PATRIOT BRIDE! I would have sworn I’d read more of them. 🙁 I’d better get busy! Thank you.

  25. Runs excitedly to bookshelves to look. Find no Kimberley Woodhouse book. *crickets*. But wait, surely I have at least one on my huge TBR pile! Runs to rummage through pile. *more crickets*. What?! How is this even possible? How could I do this to a fellow Kimberly?*embarrassed*. 🤦‍♀️ New mission: get a Kimberley Woodhouse book, or two, or more… 😊
