My guest today is my very dear friend Author Roxanne Rustand. She has a Thanksgiving book out this month. Here’s Roxanne:<\/span><\/p>\n

“This book is part of the Rocky Mountain Heirs series, from Harlequin Love Inspired. I was so delighted to have a chance to work with the wonderful authors who wrote the other five books in the series: Linda Goodnight, Arlene James, Lenora Worth, Carolyne Aarsen, and Kathryn Springer. I also loved the Colorado setting, as many of my books are contemporaries set in the West.<\/p>\n

But beyond that, The Loner’s Thanksgiving Wish <\/strong>involved a heroine who had been adopted at a young age. I was adopted when I was nearly four, after spending my earlier years in foster care, so exploring Mei’s emotional journey touched my own heart. I was luckier than Mei, though, as I was blessed with a set of wonderfully warm and loving parents!”–Roxanne<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing, Roxanne. I knew Roxanne’s adoptive mother and she was a sweet and loving woman. God chose her to raise a talented and loving mom. \ud83d\ude42 BTW, Roxanne has been honored by Romantic Times Magazine by being nominated twice this year for two of her Love Inspired romances. Way to go, Rox!
