I just read your books “The Loving Husband Trilogy and I was wondering when “Down Salem Way,” will be available to buy. I truly enjoyed all three of these books.
Hi Wendy. Thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the Loving Husband Trilogy. I can see that when I answered Christine’s question in November I had said Summer 2015. I can see now that that was a bit optimistic. I’m hoping now for a later 2015 release. Between teaching, going to school, and writing books, I’m afraid time is getting away from me a bit. But I promise to let everyone know as soon as the story is done. Thanks for asking!
I read The Loving Husband Trilogy and they were awesome! In your notes at the end you mentioned Down Salem Way…when is this due out, I am doing to read this!!! I sure hope you continue this series!
Thank you, Christine! That’s so nice of you to say. I am definitely working on a new James and Sarah story and right now I expect it to be out Summer 2015. I’ll let everyone know when it has been released. Thank you again for your nice words. You made my day!
Hi Merideth. I am reading “Curse” right now. Counting down the days for book 3!!!!! Thank you so much for replying. I love book 2 just as much. Again, I almost feel like the story is real and not fiction. Will let my friends know for sure! Pat
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait for next month. Just in time for my birthday, too! This trilogy has reignited to desire in me to read. I literally couldn’t put either one down until I was finished. Thank you so much for such a wonderful story.
Thank you, James! I’m so glad the books helped you loved to read again. That is very nice of you to say. The release date, 4/19, is my James’s (Wentworth) birthday, so the date seemed appropriate. I hope you like the third book as well.
I just finished Her Dear and Loving Husband. Loved it!!!! Just bought Book #2 and can’t wait till the 3rd comes out in a few weeks. I really want to go to Salem Mass. and check out all of the sights there. I have always been intrigued by witchcraft. Loved how you made everything so real. I feel like I may run into James and Sarah if I went there. Thank you for such great books.
Hi Pat! I’m so glad you loved the book. When I was in Salem I did expect to see James and Sarah there. I’m so glad I got to visit because it helped me bring the town to life. If you ever get a chance to visit Salem you should. It’s a small town and you can cover it in a day or two, but it has so much American history there. I hope you like the second and third books too.
I love your Loving Husband series. I have been patiently waiting for the third. The books kept me riveted.
Thank you, Kimberly! You only need to be patient about two more months and then Book 3 will be ready. I’m so glad you love the books. Thank you for letting me know.
I will confess that I was not an avid reader. I started off with the twilight series. First book I actually read for enjoyment since the 4th grade. After that I started looking on Amazon for free books, just in case I lost interest I wouldn’t be losing anything. Books 1 and 2 of the Loving Husband Trilogy was available. I was so captivated by the first book I would wake up in the wee hours in the morning to read because I couldn’t wait until the next day. Book 2 was just as addicting if not more. However, that was Spring of last year and I have been anxiously awaiting the debut of book 3.
I was sorry to read about your mother in the hospital and I hope that she continues to recuperate. I wish you well also, caring for a loved one can weigh heavy on the mind as well as the heart. The delay will give me a chance to read the books over again so that everything will be fresh by the time the 3rd book is released. Thank you for your talent and patience in writing this beautiful series. I look forward to reading more of your books. Natalie
Wow, Natalie. What a lovely message to see here. Rest assured, Book Three is coming along nicely, and I think you’ll find it a fitting ending to the James and Sarah stories. I have to admit I’m getting a little verklempt with the realization that my journey with James and Sarah is nearly through. They have been my constant companions for nearly four years. I know it’s been a long wait for the conclusion. Thank you for your patience as well.
You’re welcome… and thanks for responding. It means a lot to know that you’e willing to take time to acknowledge your readers’ comments.
I’m lucky enough to have readers who take the time to write to me. 🙂
I haven’t read all of the comments here and so maybe this has been addressed but I didn’t even know there was a second book after “Her Dear and Loving Husband” until I searched for more books by you! I don’t know if there’ s away to market these books as a series. All I know is on my Nook (barnes & Noble) … I was CLUELESS! I just bought book 2 – and it sucks that I won’t be getting any sleep tonight 🙂
Thanks for letting me know, Kristi. On Amazon it does say that the books are part of the same series, and I’m not sure why it doesn’t say that on BN. I’m glad you did find the second book, and the third book will be out in about two months. I hope you like book two as well. Let me know!
It’s been a while since I’ve not been able to put a book down and now it’s 4 am and James and Sarah are all I can think about!! Just purchased book two and also bought victory gardens!!! Can’t wait for book three!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you, Jordan. I hope you like Book Two just as much, and I can say Book Three is finally taking shape in a way that I’m happy with. I hope you like Victory Garden as well. It’s a very different kind of book than the James and Sarah stories. No vampires in that one!
I’m sure I will love it!! Thank you for taking time to answer!! That makes a special connection for me!!
You’re welcome, Jordan. It always means so much to me when readers take the time to contact me.
I really enjoy the series! I am looking forward to the final book. I hope that this series becomes as wildly successful as “A Discovery of Witches”! I found it to be just as good if not better!
What a lovely thing to say, Cristina. I certainly wouldn’t mind the Loving Husband Trilogy becoming as successful as A Discovery of Witches! I’ve been genuinely blessed with the reception James and Sarah have received among readers, and I hope when the third book is released later this year it will help to bring even more readers their way. Happy new year, and thank you.
Hi Meredith, hope all is well with your mom. I can hard wait for book 3 Her Dear and Loving Husband. No chance of find out the name?
Thank you so much, Colleen. My mom is doing better now. Please be patient just a little while longer for the title of Book Three. I’ll be doing a cover reveal early 2013 so everyone can see it (and the title!). Thanks for asking.
Meredith,
I’m in love with the story of James & Elizabeth-Sarah. Reading through to the ending of book two left me in angry tears as I could almost feel the pain Sarah is suffered by.
I hope the vampires pull through, although I’m doubtful that all of them will because of the similarity between the “Trail of Tears” & “Vampire Dawn.” I caught the sentences comparing the Raven hair to Raven eyes… Very poetic in describing such an ignorant, unjust and disgustingly disgraceful instances in time that devide creatures up based on the basics of supply and demand, xenophobic nature and ignorance.
I’m feeling ansy about how the Vampires will feed, how Sarah with cope with her nightmares if they come back again and I’m so sad that Grace will lose precious time with her father. I wished they had fled and hid… I wish the Vampires changed all the guards or killed them… Ahhhh! I will be relieved in spring when I get to read your third book in this Trilogy.
Thank you!!!
Hi Cristine:
Thank you for your lovely message. After sitting with my mother in the hospital this morning, coming home and reading your words made me smile. Thank you!
I’m glad you caught the comparison between the Cherokee and the vampires. I’m always happy when people see the method behind my madness. I’ll be doing a cover reveal early 2013 so everyone can see the new cover and the title–which I’ve been getting a lot of questions about! 🙂 I know the wait is hard. It’s hard for me too, and I already know the ending. Hang in there!
Awww I’m super sad your mom is in the hospital. 🙁 I pray her body heals. I have a chronic illness and I know some people can’t be near their dear one’s during times of illness or injury because of their own personal dilemmas, your mom is incredibly lucky to have a daughter like you. ❤ Make sure that you remember to give yourself extra love and care during this time as well. And if you need to vent, I’m here for you, sweetie!
How sweet, Cristine. I appreciate all of your kind words. Thank you!
Any idea when the final book will be finished? Im dying to find out if james & sarah will be happy together finally
Hi Lynne! I’m working hard on Book Three now, and I’m expecting an early 2013 release, probably around March. Thanks for asking!
Awesome i cant wait
Great!!! I can’t wait til book #3 comes out. I feel as I know James & Sarah so well. They have a true love-unbreakable bond! Great job!!! Thank you so much.
Thank you, Linda! I agree…James and Sarah have a bond that even time and distance can’t break. James and Sarah are like my friends, and I’m so glad to hear that others feel the same way.
I imagine so. 🙂
I really look forward to reading the rest.
Hey Meredith! I just finished reading the second book last night and it was amazing. I really can not wait until he third one comes out. I’m dying to see what happens. You have done an amazing job writing and the story line is awesome. They are, by far, the best supernatural books I’ve ever read. I just so happened to stumble across Her Dear And Loving Husband for free on iBooks and I’m thankful I did. Please write like crazy! Lol. You left off at a perfect spot to leave your readers wanting more.
HER Dear & Loving Husband***
I ha to correct that. 🙂
Thank you so much, Ashley! You’re right…I left off where I did on purpose. I am definitely writing like crazy. I’m trying to get the third book done as soon as I can.
As an American Lit teacher for over twenty years, I really enjoyed the incorporation of the two infamous historical periods into your novel. I taught about the witchcraft trials and read “The Crucible” with my students every year. I have both a personal and professional interest in “The Trail of Tears.” I found your work mostly accurate from a historical perspective and highly entertaining from a personal perspective. I do have one tiny criticism. The victims of the witchcraft trials were not hung; they were hanged:). Pictures are hung, but people are hanged when they are executed. As I am typing my response to you from a program without spell or grammar check, I am hoping that I haven’t made any errors. 🙂
You also gave your readers marvelous and accurate descriptions of Salem. Your book was certainly a worthwhile and entertaining read. I look forward to reading the final book in the trilogy.
Thank you for your comments, Lauri. I’m so glad you liked the books.
I love your trilogy and look forward to seeing what happens next in book three of “Her Dear and Loving Husband”. These books are very well written and interesting. I look forward to reading it when released in 2013!
I’m so glad you liked the books, Dawn. And I’m glad you liked the writing. I work hard to make sure the sentences flow well. Thank you!
Meredith, you brought together my favorite genres with this trilogy and I can’t wait for the finale. You bring your Characters to life (no pun intended). Hope to read more of your work soon. Your new fan, Michele
Thank you so much, Michele. You just made my day! I’m so glad you liked the stories. Rest assured, I’m working on Book Three right now. I hope you like that one too!
I just read the Dear and loving husband & Loving Husband curse. I was in tears. Looking forward to # 3. Wonderful writing. Thank you. Hugs, Dottiemaye
Hi Dottiemaye! Thank you so much for your comment. To tell the truth, I shed a lot of tears myself writing Book Two. I’m so glad you liked the writing. Hugs right back to you!
I am not big on history books and was hesitant to get these two books. I love the fact that Amazon has free books because I would have never read your book. I tend to stock to those I know. You have definitely been added to my list. These books are breath taking. I laughed, cried, felt angry, happy and sad all at once. You have an amazing way of allowing the reader to really feel what the characters are feeling. No matter how big or small their part is. I cannot wait for book three. I was so sad to know its not here yet. I’m glad to know its coming
Thank you, Amy! I think the fact that the books aren’t entirely about history helps those like yourself enjoy the story a little more. I do try to bring the reader inside the character’s head so they can see where the character is coming from. I’m fascinated by how people think and why they make the choices they do. I’m working on book three right now!
Spoiler Alert!
Wow! Both books are terrific! Book 1 was marvelous–the romance, the tension, the growth of your characters.
Book 2’s introduction of society’s awareness of differences and its relationship to our history… Thank you for keeping it ‘local’ by using the Trail of Tears. It would have been easy (maybe even easier?) to use Jewish history instead, and I’m glad you didn’t. I learned more about our own history while being drawn into your story. You did a great job with making the history real through the story telling. That was very (VERY) well done in both books.
Like others, I was hopeful that book 3 would be awaiting @ Amazon and was a little disappointed that it wasn’t there yet. I am glad to hear you’re writing it now! Write Meredith, write!
Thank you, Toni! I’m so glad you liked the history since that’s one of my favorite aspects of the story. I’ve been fascinated by all history, especially American history for years, and writing historical-based fiction is my way to explore it in more detail. I am definitely working hard on Book Three. I’m writing! 🙂
Hi there Meredith!I have to say, I picked up the first book of the Loving Husband Trilogy free on amazon. (I like to have at least 5 free books on my kindle at all times as I read about 6-8 books a week, mostly indie writers. The free books also help me step out of my box and try new genres and authors.) I hope this doesn’t come across rude to say I was SURPRISED! Not that I thought it wouldn’t be good, I was just hoping for acceptable. Yours was a treasure!! I was really excited about discovering you after I finished book one, I have now moved onto book two (I’m at the part where we meet Grace 🙂 ) I came here because I can’t wait for book three even though I haven’t yet finished book two. I just couldn’t keep it to myself, sorry to make this so long. Keep it up!
Hi Stacy! Make your comment as long as you like! Thank you, thank you for coming here and sharing your thoughts. I’m so glad you were pleasantly surprised. It isn’t rude at all to say you were surprised. As an avid reader myself, I’m well aware that you never know what you’re going to get when you pick up a book by an author you haven’t read before. By the way, the part where we meet Grace in Book Two is one of my favorite parts of the book! It really does mean a lot to me when people let me know that they like my books. Your comments are genuinely appreciated.
I love the firs two books, I can not wait for the third one.
Thank you, Colleen! I’m working hard on book three now, and I’ll be sure to let everyone know when it’s ready!
you have a very good way of putting real history into a book like this. Can’t wait to read the second book.
Hi, Lia. I’m so glad you liked the history in the story. I love learning about different periods of history, which is probably why I love to write historical fiction. I hope you like the second book too. Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely Loved both of these books. I read them back to back over the weekend because I couldn’t put them down! I can’t wait for book 3 to find out what happens! It’s gonna be a long wait, I want to know now!
I’m not giving away any hints, Donna! 🙂 I will say be ready because Book Three is going to be an emotional roller coaster ride for James and Sarah. Thank you for stopping by, and I’m so glad you loved the books!
I really enjoyed the first two books! I went on amazon.com to buy the 3rd not realizing it wasn’t out yet. I can’t wait to read book 3!
Thank you, Damarys. I’m thinking I need to get a move on finishing book three since so many people are eager to read it! Thank you so much for stopping by.
im 1/2 way through your first book and its AWESOME! i cant wait to get to the second and then the third! your a very talented writer! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much, Steph! I’m so glad you like the writing. I do work hard on the language, and I’m always happy when people enjoy it when they read it. I hope you like the second one too!
I have been looking for new vampire books to read and found these two. I LOVE your book; I just finished book one and will be starting book two tomarrow. Can’t wait for book three. 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m always happy when people who love vampire books enjoy the stories since James isn’t your traditional kind of vampire (being a college professor and all). Let me know what you think of Book Two!
Almost done with book 2 and I don’t want it to end! Congratulations on two really wonderful books. You’ve made a fan 🙂
Thank you so much, Cetta! I’ve been really lucky with the response to the first two books of the Loving Husband Trilogy. I’m so glad you enjoyed them. I’ll let you know when book three is ready to go!
Absolutely loved books 1 and 2. So upset that I have to wait for book 3! I am really hoping for a happy ending.
Yay, Sabrina! I’m so glad you loved the books! I’m working hard on book three now, but I don’t write as fast as some other writers so it takes me a little longer to finish a book. I won’t give away any spoilers for book three, but I will say Olivia plays a very important role in the story. We’ll have to see if it’s a happy ending…
Halfway through the first one and loving it! Just got the second one and came to see when the third came out but you already answered my question. Can’t wait!
Hi Patty! Thank you so much for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re loving the book. I hope you love the second one as well. If you like the first two books, I think you’ll like book three too. There are some interesting things in store for James and Sarah…
When will the third be out……loved the first two.
Thank you, Janie! Book Three is due later in 2012–around the end of the year or early 2013. I’m working on it now, as in literally right now. I’m just taking a brain break before my words stop making sense. Thank you again!
I just read your books “The Loving Husband Trilogy and I was wondering when “Down Salem Way,” will be available to buy. I truly enjoyed all three of these books.

Hi Merideth. I am reading “Curse” right now. Counting down the days for book 3!!!!! Thank you so much for replying. I love book 2 just as much. Again, I almost feel like the story is real and not fiction. Will let my friends know for sure! Pat
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait for next month. Just in time for my birthday, too! This trilogy has reignited to desire in me to read. I literally couldn’t put either one down until I was finished. Thank you so much for such a wonderful story.

Book 2’s introduction of society’s awareness of differences and its relationship to our history… Thank you for keeping it ‘local’ by using the Trail of Tears. It would have been easy (maybe even easier?) to use Jewish history instead, and I’m glad you didn’t. I learned more about our own history while being drawn into your story. You did a great job with making the history real through the story telling. That was very (VERY) well done in both books.
Like others, I was hopeful that book 3 would be awaiting @ Amazon and was a little disappointed that it wasn’t there yet. I am glad to hear you’re writing it now! Write Meredith, write!
Thank you, Toni! I’m so glad you liked the history since that’s one of my favorite aspects of the story. I’ve been fascinated by all history, especially American history for years, and writing historical-based fiction is my way to explore it in more detail. I am definitely working hard on Book Three. I’m writing! 🙂
Hi there Meredith!I have to say, I picked up the first book of the Loving Husband Trilogy free on amazon. (I like to have at least 5 free books on my kindle at all times as I read about 6-8 books a week, mostly indie writers. The free books also help me step out of my box and try new genres and authors.) I hope this doesn’t come across rude to say I was SURPRISED! Not that I thought it wouldn’t be good, I was just hoping for acceptable. Yours was a treasure!! I was really excited about discovering you after I finished book one, I have now moved onto book two (I’m at the part where we meet Grace 🙂 ) I came here because I can’t wait for book three even though I haven’t yet finished book two. I just couldn’t keep it to myself, sorry to make this so long. Keep it up!
Hi Stacy! Make your comment as long as you like! Thank you, thank you for coming here and sharing your thoughts. I’m so glad you were pleasantly surprised. It isn’t rude at all to say you were surprised. As an avid reader myself, I’m well aware that you never know what you’re going to get when you pick up a book by an author you haven’t read before. By the way, the part where we meet Grace in Book Two is one of my favorite parts of the book! It really does mean a lot to me when people let me know that they like my books. Your comments are genuinely appreciated.
I love the firs two books, I can not wait for the third one.
Thank you, Colleen! I’m working hard on book three now, and I’ll be sure to let everyone know when it’s ready!
you have a very good way of putting real history into a book like this. Can’t wait to read the second book.
Hi, Lia. I’m so glad you liked the history in the story. I love learning about different periods of history, which is probably why I love to write historical fiction. I hope you like the second book too. Thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely Loved both of these books. I read them back to back over the weekend because I couldn’t put them down! I can’t wait for book 3 to find out what happens! It’s gonna be a long wait, I want to know now!
I’m not giving away any hints, Donna! 🙂 I will say be ready because Book Three is going to be an emotional roller coaster ride for James and Sarah. Thank you for stopping by, and I’m so glad you loved the books!
I really enjoyed the first two books! I went on amazon.com to buy the 3rd not realizing it wasn’t out yet. I can’t wait to read book 3!
Thank you, Damarys. I’m thinking I need to get a move on finishing book three since so many people are eager to read it! Thank you so much for stopping by.
im 1/2 way through your first book and its AWESOME! i cant wait to get to the second and then the third! your a very talented writer! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much, Steph! I’m so glad you like the writing. I do work hard on the language, and I’m always happy when people enjoy it when they read it. I hope you like the second one too!
I have been looking for new vampire books to read and found these two. I LOVE your book; I just finished book one and will be starting book two tomarrow. Can’t wait for book three. 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m always happy when people who love vampire books enjoy the stories since James isn’t your traditional kind of vampire (being a college professor and all). Let me know what you think of Book Two!
Almost done with book 2 and I don’t want it to end! Congratulations on two really wonderful books. You’ve made a fan 🙂
Thank you so much, Cetta! I’ve been really lucky with the response to the first two books of the Loving Husband Trilogy. I’m so glad you enjoyed them. I’ll let you know when book three is ready to go!
Absolutely loved books 1 and 2. So upset that I have to wait for book 3! I am really hoping for a happy ending.
Yay, Sabrina! I’m so glad you loved the books! I’m working hard on book three now, but I don’t write as fast as some other writers so it takes me a little longer to finish a book. I won’t give away any spoilers for book three, but I will say Olivia plays a very important role in the story. We’ll have to see if it’s a happy ending…
Halfway through the first one and loving it! Just got the second one and came to see when the third came out but you already answered my question. Can’t wait!
Hi Patty! Thank you so much for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re loving the book. I hope you love the second one as well. If you like the first two books, I think you’ll like book three too. There are some interesting things in store for James and Sarah…
When will the third be out……loved the first two.
Thank you, Janie! Book Three is due later in 2012–around the end of the year or early 2013. I’m working on it now, as in literally right now. I’m just taking a brain break before my words stop making sense. Thank you again!
