About Tempered Joy: Book 4, Tempered Series
All around rodeo cowboy and heir to the Rockin’ H Ranch, Ace Harris is determined not to fall in love. Lexie Morgan thinks rodeo cowboys have rocks for brains and a death wish for a soul. Can two young people who clash from the onset learn to trust in the healing power of God and find love and happiness amidst tragedy and grief?
When did you write Tempered Joy?
The entire series was written between 1996 and 2000 and the first two books published by Writers Exchange Epublishing Company in 2000 & 2001. However when I signed with ComStar Media in 2005 they contracted all four books and Tempered Joy was released in 2008. The reprints are currently published under my Indy imprint, Temperance Publishing.
What was the spark that gave you the story idea?
Tempered Joy was actually like a surprise pregnancy, LOL! I’m writing along in Tempered Fire when Ace (Craig and Tamera’s son) shows up asking when I’ll write his story. As I mentioned, I had absolutely no idea there would even be a third much less a 4th book! Nor did I realize what the book would entail and that one of my beloved characters would die, until I started writing (one of the disadvantages of being a SOTP writer).
Why do readers buy Tempered Joy?
I’m sure most people initially purchase the book since it is part of the series, however, based on Psalms 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Filled with moments of poignant sadness interspersed with touching humor, Tempered Joy deals with emotional healing from tragedy and grief.
