MEET THE WEAVERS! They’re loud, they’re boisterous, totally
unpredictable and, they’re looking for wives. Now all your favorite Weaver
books and stories from the Holiday Mail-Order Bride series are together in one
volume! Read about Arlan, Benjamin and Calvin Weaver as they traverse life and
love on the Weaver farm along with a few added surprises. It’s one big happy
family in one big fun-filled book! If you’ve never met the Weaver’s, then
here’s a little glimpse:
ARLAN:
Arlan had often thought of getting himself a mail order bride, but now that he
had, he wasn’t sure the pretty little thing The Ridgley Mail-Order Bride
Service sent him was tough enough to handle farm life, let alone his brothers.
But Arlan soon found his new little wife was chock full of surprises. In more
ways than one.
Samantha
Carter never considered becoming a mail order bride. She was to marry as soon
as she turned eighteen and be out of her uncle’s hair not to mention his house.
But her uncle had other plans, and wanted Samantha for himself. Discovering his
intentions, she ran to the only mail-order bride service she knew of, and
begged Mrs. Ridgley to send her somewhere, ANYWHERE that would get her away
from her lecherous relative. And so, Mrs. Ridgley sent her to Nowhere.
BENJAMIN:
The Weaver clan was growing. Not only was Arlan, Ma Weaver’s oldest son and his
wife about to have a baby, but Benjamin, one of her identical twins, was about
to get his very own mail-order bride! Ma Weaver couldn’t be happier! Sure,
Benjamin and his brothers had been sheltered in the small valley where they
lived most of their lives, and maybe they didn’t live as fancy as some folks.
But they lived well, and Ma Weaver was determined her sons would marry well
too.
Charity
Cross discovers just that when she becomes Benjamin’s mail-order bride. But
Charity has a secret, something with the power to tear them apart if she isn’t
careful. The problem is, she has no idea how or what “careful” looks like. Not
after what she’s been through …
CALVIN:
First Arlan, the oldest, got himself a mail-order bride, followed by his
younger brother Benjamin, one of identical twins. Now it was Calvin’s turn. But
Calvin’s mail-order bride was different, really different. For one, she was
Italian, an immigrant who spoke broken English. She was also the most beautiful
woman Calvin had ever seen. But this vision of loveliness had a not so lovely
secret. Can Calvin and his new bride make a go of it while other secrets
threaten the family’s peaceful existence? Find out in this hilarious romp with
the Weavers!
Excerpt
Music could be heard coming from inside the town’s meeting hall along
with laughter and a cacophony of voices, many of them female. Calvin and
Benjamin quickly finger-combed their reddish brown hair and straightened their
jackets. Arlan caught the action and shook his head. “I dunno why ya two
bother. What woman in her right mind’s gonna take a shine to the likes of you?”
“Us?”
Benjamin said, affronted. “What about you? Yer ‘bout as agreeable as a
rattler.”
“And
bossy too,” Calvin tossed in.
“Arlan’s
right,” their mother said. “You two had better mind your manners. Remember what
happened last time we came to town!”
The twins
looked at each other and burst out laughing. “Sure ‘nough do, Ma!” Calvin said.
“Yeah,
that was one of the best!” added Benjamin.
“Best of
what?” Arlan asked. “Embarrassin’ the family?”
“Yer a
fine one to talk!” Benjamin said. “After all, wasn’t me or Calvin that got in a
fight with Spencer Riley over that Lily Pembrook a few years back.”
“This has
nothin’ to do with that,” Arlan said. “I’m talkin’ ‘bout the time ya two made
that scarecrow or whatever it was and tossed it at the front window of the
meetin’ hall.”
The twins
glanced at each other, smiles on their faces. “Oh yeah, we plumb forgot ‘bout
that!” Calvin said with glee.
Benjamin
smacked him on the back. “Nellie Davis thought it was a real person!”
“You
broke the window,” their mother reminded them sourly.
“Yeah,
Ma,” Calvin agreed. “But the look on Nellie Davis’ face was worth it!”
“Was it
worth it to see me have to pay for it?”
That did
the trick. The twins sobered and hung their heads. “Oh, forgot about that,”
Benjamin mumbled.
“Don’t
worry, Ma.” Calvin put an arm around her. “We’ll make sure nothin’ happens
tonight. We ain’t ten years old, ya know.”
“Ain’t
ya?” Arlan asked sardonically. He plucked a huge basket from the back of the
wagon, glared at his brothers once more, then offered his mother his arm.
“Why,
thank you Arlan,” she said. She looked at her other sons. “See boys, this is
how it’s done.”
As soon
as she and Arlan started for the meeting hall, Calvin offered Benjamin his arm.
“Shall we?”
“But of
course,” Benjamin said in a high-pitched voice.
Daniel
rolled his eyes and shoved past. “Don’t embarrass us!”
The twins
stopped short. “Since when’s he worried about that?” Calvin asked.
“Yeah, he
don’t usually side with Ma and Arlan,” Benjamin agreed.
“‘Less
he’s got somethin’ up his sleeve,” Calvin suggested.
Benjamin
sighed. “Looks like we better make sure l’il Daniel ain’t the one that does the
embarrassin’ this evening.”
“Yeah,
best keep an eye on him,” Calvin slapped his brother on the back. “Let’s have
some fun.” They set off at a trot to catch up.

What’s your favorite kind
of story to get lost in?
Action/adventure/romance
with a fairy tale flair. Yeah, I know, how many books are there like that? Not
many, which is why I write them!
Do you write while
listening to music? If so what kind?
Most
of the time, yes! Classical and
movie soundtracks.
Which of your characters
would you most/least to invite to dinner, and why?
Most? The Cooke Brothers. Who wouldn’t
want to dine with those three gorgeous Englishmen, Duncan, Colin and
Harrison? Least to invite to dinner?
Thaddeus Slade. Let’s face it, those of you who’ve read my books, he’s a devil.
What sound or noise do you
love?
There’s a bird
that is the last to return every spring in Oregon. Once he’s back, we know
summer is coming. His birdsong is a simple, long whistle. That’s it. But in
Oregon, that sound says that warm weather is finally coming!
Which
already filmed movie represents your writing style?
The Princess Bride
What story are you working on next, and what inspired it?
Mail-Order
Bride Ink: Dear Mr. Vander. Book 4 of
the Mail-Order Bride Ink series. This will be the story of Garrett Vander’s son
and should be a hoot. He’s much more introverted and quiet than his father and
especially his grandfather, Horace Vander, who’s determined his grandson should
be groomed to be the next mayor of their little town. Love would only
complicate things.
What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more
people COULD know?
Ah,
here’s the kicker. That Kit Morgan, is, in fact, a fictional character from
Geralyn Beauchamp’s Time Master Series. Kitty Morgan. All those westerns are
hers …
