I'm thrilled to announce that Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington has officially released. I
was blessed to write this novel with my dear friend Ocieanna Fleiss. We
had the greatest time doing research, including interviewing some of the
"Rosies" who worked in Seattle during World War II. This story is about
working on the homefriend, friendships, and finding true love when you
least expect it!
And if you'd like to find out more about my co-author Ocieanna, go {HERE}.
The war has stolen Rosalie's fiancé, Vic, from her forever. But rather than wallow, Rosalie distracts herself by cramming her days full of activity-mainly by shooting rivets into the B-17 bombers that will destroy the enemy. When a reporter dubs her "Seattle's Own Rosie the Riveter," even more responsibility piles up. Her strong arms bear all this, but when intense feelings surface for Kenny, the handsome, kind-hearted, and spiritually unwavering reporter, the fear of losing another love propels Rosalie to leave. It's only when Rosalie realizes that God has brought her to this place-and this person-for a reason, the sparkling grace of God compels her to let go of her own strength and lean on His, as well as open her heart to love.

Hello friends!
Greetings from Arkansas where I'm learning what summer, heat and humidity are all about! Thankfully there is an invention called "air conditioning" that is keeping this Northern girl cool. There has been a lot to celebrate in the last few months. First, at the end of June John, Nathan, Alyssa and I traveled to St. Louis to attend the International Christian Retail Show. Alyssa was thrilled with the book show!  | The trip started out by attending The Christy Awards where The Swiss Courier was a nominee for the historical fiction. Here is what one of the judges said about The Swiss Courier: "... A nail biter. I have read much about this time period and ...For me, this is a winner!"I also did three booksignings and I loved meeting fans as I signed Songbird Under a German Moon, Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington, and T he Swiss Courier. Mike and I at a book signing at ICRS  | My co-author Mike Yorkey and I at The Christy Awards  | Unfortunately, The Swiss Courier didn't win ... the award went to the amazing Lynn Austin for her novel Though Waters Roar. Congratulations Lynn! Here is a complete list of winners. Awards and book releases are great, but nothing is more wonderful than a new addition to our family! Our oldest son Cory married a wonderful young woman named Katie. Katie is bubbly, fun, adorable, and she loves Jesus with all her heart. What could be better than that? We flew to Montana for the wedding and God gave us a perfect day. Here are a few photos. The Goyer Family  | Cory and the groomsmen  | Cory and Katie  | My new daughter-in-law Katie!  |
Sincerely, Tricia Goyer

What God is Doing ...
Life, In Spite of Me hit the shelves in May and Kristen  had been overwhelmed with emails of people who've dedicated their lives to Jesus and whose lives have been changed because of this book. Here is an interview of Kristen on Life Today with James and Betty Robison.
Kristen also came to Little Rock to tape an interview on FamilyLife Today with Dennis Rainey and Bob  Lepine, which will air this fall! When she wasn't taping we explored the Little Rock and Hot Springs, AR. What a bonus!

When Marianna's family moves from Indiana to Montana she discovers life and faith will never be the same. As she builds an easy friendship with local guy, Ben Stone, Ben not only draws her heart, he also gets her thinking about what loving God and living in community is all about.

 Confessions of a Prayer Slacker by Diane Moody
Let's face it. Most of us are clueless at praying. Why is that? And how come we've never done anything about it? In Confessions of a Prayer Slacker, author Diane Moody traces her own personal prayer journey with a touch of humor and a healthy dose of transparency. ''I want my readers to stop the merry-go-round of prayerlessness, quit acting like a bunch of spiritual babies, and get serious about this thing called prayer. Without it, we'll never experience the warm, one-on-one relationship God desires to have with each one of us.''
My thoughts: "I have to admit once I started reading Prayer Slacker, I couldn't read more than a few pages at a time. Why? My heart was so pricked I had to put down the book and PRAY!" - Tricia Goyer, author of twenty-four books, including Blue Like Play Dough: The Shape of Motherhood in the Grip of God.
