Today’s post is from Donna Schlachter, the author of A Prickly Affair, included in A Bouquet of Brides.
When I decided on the takeaway value for my Bouquet of Brides story, “A Prickly Affair”, I wanted the message to be buried beneath the romance story. I write stories of second—and third—and fourth chances from a God who is bigger than our mistakes, so that message is in this story. I also wanted to have a character demonstrate the agape love of God, which I managed to include.
To celebrate the release of A Bouquet of Brides collection and my story, A Prickly Affair, I’m giving away a free print copy (US only) of the book. To enter, subscribe to my newsletter. I’ll be drawing for the book at the end of January. If you’re already subscribed, follow my blog .

Donna lives in Denver with husband Patrick, her first-line editor and biggest fan. She writes historical suspense under her own name, and contemporary suspense under her alter ego of Leeann Betts. She is a hybrid author who has published a number of books under her pen name and under her own name. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Sisters In Crime; facilitates a local critique group, and teaches writing classes and courses.

Amen! We serve a God who is bigger than our mistakes, and I am so very thankful for more than just 2nd chances, but 3rd, 4th,… chances. I’m looking forward to your character demonstrating the agape love.
I think you’ll enjoy Donna’s story. I did! And I’m with you. If I had to have it all together to hang out with Jesus, that would be a very sad thing.
