Thanks for joining us, Cynthia! What’s Under Prairie Skies about?
~ Beyond shattered dreams lies a realm of possibilities ~
Illinois prairie ~ 1855
Unsettled by the news that her estranged cousin and uncle are returning home after a year away, Charlotte Stanton goes to ready their cabin and finds a handsome stranger has taken up residence. Convinced he’s a squatter, she throws him off the property before learning his full identity. Little does she know, their paths are destined to cross again.
Quiet and ruggedly handsome, Chad Avery’s uncanny ability to see through Charlotte’s feisty exterior and expose her inner weaknesses both infuriates and intrigues her. When a tragic accident incites her family to move east, Charlotte stays behind in hopes of becoming better acquainted with the elusive cattleman. Yet Chad’s unwillingness to divulge his hidden past, along with his vow not to love again, threatens to keep them apart forever.
I love that your hero and heroine are so opposite, and that Charlotte’s ruthless and Chad’s kindhearted! Looking forward to this story!
What is Chad most afraid of?
Chad’s biggest fear is failure. Hurts from his past have left him unable to move forward and allow himself to love again.
I’m sure many of us can relate to Chad’s fear. Why does Charlotte dislike Chad?
Well, without giving up a spoiler, let’s just say they started out on the wrong foot. Wrong assumptions on Charlotte’s part left her vulnerable. She isn’t accustomed to someone standing up to her or exposing her flaws the way Chad does.
Ooh, so much conflict! I love it! One word that describes Chad? Why?
Determined. Chad is determined not to let anything stand in the way of his dream and what’s right and fair.
I can relate to that too! One word that describes Charlotte? Why?
Strong-willed. Charlotte has a will of iron that sometimes gets her into trouble. Not until Chad enters the picture does she learn how to use her strength of will for the good of others.
A perfect match, perhaps? Can’t wait to find out! What is the significance of the cows in this story?
The cattle represent Chad’s dream, one he shared with his wife. In a sense, they are his way of holding onto what he’s lost.
Oh, I feel so bad for him already. What do you expect readers to look forward to when reading this story?
The key verse is Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” It’s my prayer that in reading Under Prairie Skies, readers will get a sense of how the Lord uses people to spur each other on and encourage each other to become more like Christ.
Thanks for sharing your characters with us, Cynthia! Looking forward to this book! Where can readers purchase Under Prairie Skies?

Hi Wendy! Thanks for your effort to enter the contest for Under Prairie Skies! So glad you stopped by! I hope you’ll have the opportunity to read it along with Book 1: Under This Same Sky. God bless!

Fishingjan, Oooh, what a tasty combination! Thanks for stopping by and chatting with us!
Chocolate is good with anything!! LOL! Thanks for entering, Jan!
I usually read on the evening, so a cup of hot tea to relax, or just a glass of water.
Patty, that’s a perfect combination with a book!
Evening is my favorite time to read as well, Patty! Thanks for stopping by.
I like to read and relax with a glass of wine..
That will keep you going! Thanks for commenting!
Hi, Tonya! Great to see you here! Thanks for dropping by and entering!!
Coffee is my drink most anytime, so I definitely have a cup nearby when I read. If I snack it’s usually salty and crunchy.
Joyce, I’m right there with you! Perfect combo.
Hi Joyce! I’m not a coffee drinker, but salty and crunchy sound great! Thanks for entering!
My favorite evening reading snack is a mint chip blizzard from Dairy Queen. i know this will sound crazy, but I buy it and put it in the freezer usually mid to late afternoon, then bring it out to eat late in the evening when I settle down to read. I eat very small bites until it starts to get melty, then put it back in the freezer. One lg blizzard lasts me anywhere from 4 to 6 days.
