My Books

I am excited to share information about my books & writings with you on this page. The Novels section takes you to the fiction series I’m currently working on. Compilations include my first published articles within a compilation book (which there were two of them).

Novels

My first Historical Romance Series is titled Best-laid Plans and the first novel is set in 1869 Sacramento, California.

Three young women arrive in Sacramento, California to teach in one-room schoolhouses in the surrounding rural communities. Their original plans change when God’s plans unfold in ways they never could imagine. Some of which include learning a thing or two about friendship, dependance on God, and the most wonderful gift of all—love. 
Not at all what they are looking for, but everything they need.

Compilations

I was able to be published in two different compilations of this short and sweet series. All the books in the entire series offer fun gift-giving ideas for the word lover in your life.

The Short and Sweet of It: When the right word is a short word is a compilation of poems and short stories all written in one-word syllables (with a few exceptions). My poem “When God Calls” is on page 77, and is based on the Bible verse Matthew 11:28-30 —Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Denise M. Colby writings include the Poem Titled, "When God Calls", on page 77 In this book, The Short and Sweet of It
