Hope Filled Fiction, Historical Fun Facts, & Hooray for Freebies!

Newsletter cover with pink text and hearts. "The Timeless Love Newsletter, April 2026." Promises fiction, fun facts, freebies by Sandy Kay Slawson.

This month in the Timeless Love newsletter, I have two Christian fiction authors to introduce, an interesting historical find to share, and as promised, Love on a Half Shell, my newest short story is here! Hope Filled Fiction, Historical Fun Facts, & Hooray for Freebies!



Hope Filled Fiction is storytelling that reveals God's redemptive work in the midst of the struggles of life. When life (fictional or not) is full of chaos, fear, and uncertainty, the Lord is there with hope, love, and truth.


“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” — Romans 15:13 (ESV)

Book cover of "Teacher's Star" by Marisa Masterson. Text: "FREE with BookFunnel! Rustlers, treasure map, missing child. Why does nothing make sense to this smart school teacher?" Set against a blurred nature background.

The marshal shoved the envelope and the badge at her. With a quick scrawl of her name below the printed oath, Delia became a marshal…


Delia Perkins keeps that badge a secret and goes on with her life as a teacher in the small town of Belle, Wyoming. After all, she's only a courier.


While waiting for her contact, she's drawn to the man she's sure is a part of a gang of rustlers. She’s a good girl, but he’s an almost irresistible man!


Roland Anderson juggles raising both horses and his daughter. The bad thing is that the horses are better behaved than his little girl. He has another job to do also, but the gorgeous new teacher is on his thoughts much too often. Will Delia Perkins give his secret away before he can find and arrest the leader of the gang of thieves? Hope Filled Fiction, Historical Fun Facts, & Hooray for Freebies!


When circumstances force the two into a sudden marriage, will Roland be able to catch the thieves without losing either his wife or his daughter?
