John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:16-17, NKJV).

Two of my books are in this promotion.

Know You More is Book 1 in my Savannah Sweethearts series of coastal city and beach town Christian romance. In this book, Pastor Diego Flores is growing his church, Riverside Chapel, while falling in love with his best friend’s sister, Heidi Wei. Look for the moonlight walk on the beaches of Tybee Island.

Smile for Me is Book 1 in my Vacation Sweethearts series of travel romances. We go to sunny Bahamas in this novel featuring Byron Moss and Tina MacFarland, as they balance love and duty at a summer camp in Nassau. Look for island summer and white sandy beaches. And hammocks under coconut trees.

Happy reading!

Here is a partial excerpt of my introduction:

INTRODUCTION: JAN THOMPSON

Hello readers! I write Christian beach romance, romantic suspense, and technothrillers. I’ve also published one devotional (which took me years to write LOL). Somewhere in the past, I also wrote Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell parodies, but I haven’t returned to those in years. These days, I primarily focus on beach romances, travel romances, romantic suspense, and clean near-future thrillers.
I’m excited about our SAVE THE DATE boxed set, and I want to give you a preview of my novella book cover. Her Love So Sure is the first of four books in my new Hometown Weddings Christian Romance collection.
Three things you might not know about me:
  1. Jan is my real first name. Would you have thought that it’s the short form of a longer name? Comment to let me know whether you think Jan is short for something. It sort of is, and yet it isn’t. My mother invented my middle name, Edttii, a combination of Edith and Eddie.
  2. I spent my teenage years on a tropical island surrounded by lovely ocean (I wasn’t there when the tsunami hit, though). I love beach towns and that is why I write a lot of beach romances. I can hear and see the ocean when I write, and I feel nostalgia every time I am on the beach. Do you like the beach or the mountains? I like both, actually. I love the mountains in the fall. So lovely!
  3. My favorite verse is John 3:16. I put it in every book I write. I think it’s important to remind myself that God saved me. I want my readers to know that God is always good all the time.
What kind of books do you like to read? Do you like beach romance no matter what the weather is outside your house? Or do you like to read more seasonally i.e. if it’s fall/autumn, you read a fall/autumn romance, and if it’s spring, you read a spring romance?
