Elk Lake Publishing will release Every Window Filled with Light on April 2, 2021. The Amazon page will go up soon and my knees are knocking.
From the Back Cover:
Welcome to Weldon, Kentucky, where the only things the locals love more than fried pies are gossip and match-making.
Librarian Emma Baker, a young and childless widow, believes her dream to build a family is over. It’s been two years since a student accidentally stabbed Emma’s husband to death, and her grief has stifled any interest in romance—until she meets Pastor Luke Davis. But when Emma learns Luke is counseling her husband’s killer fresh out of jail, her temper gets in the way.
Meanwhile, Emma discovers twelve-year-old Harley, abandoned by her drug-addict mother, hiding in the library, and takes the girl in as her foster mom. Then a young mother is made homeless by an apartment fire, and Emma opens her home again. One person and one prayer at a time, Emma begins to discover hope.

If you’ve read my novellas, A Sassy Creek Christmas, Weldon’s Secret Santa, and A Fork in the Road, you’ve already visited Weldon, Kentucky.
I’m looking for a few Weldon fans to be influencers to help promote Every Window Filled with Light. To be in the Weldon Fan Club, members agree to: buy Every Window Filled with Light, review the book on Amazon (even if it’s a bad review), and share a few memes of author endorsements such as Ann H. Gabhart’s endorsement below on your social media accounts. I’ll create the memes and email them to the fan club members. Word of mouth is the best way to sell books, and I cringe at the thought of asking people to buy my book. I hope you love Weldon enough to forgive me for asking.
Ann H. Gabhart, best-selling author of An Appalachian Summer said, “Every Window Filled with Light by Shelia Stovall is a warm and delightful story of forgiveness and hope. Stovall skillfully paints a great word picture of her fictional little town of Weldon and peoples it with characters you will be glad to meet as you follow their stories. You’ll love the generous heart of Emma and admire her resilience as she faces the challenges of life and love. If you like feel good stories then Every Window Filled with Light is a book you won’t want to miss.”
For those who join the Weldon Fan Club, you’ll be added to a closed Facebook Group and get insider information such as the inspiration for Emma’s home, scenes cut from the story (after you post your review), and I’ll share an alternate ending. I don’t want to spoil the story for you by sending it too soon. Fan club members will also have the opportunity to win prizes and help me determine which story to write next. Should it feature Seth Walters and Lila, or Dr. Sparky and Carson Williams, or will you want to see Luke and Emma’s story continue? The second book in the Weldon series is already finished. It features Casey as the heroine.
I hope you’ll send an email to shelia@sheliastovall.com and join the Weldon Fan Club. Be sure to put Weldon Fan Club in the subject line. Space is limited to fifty subscribers. (Notice my name is spelled a bit different).
If you’ve not downloaded the three free novellas introducing Weldon and Sassy Creek, be sure to do so soon, as they are going to disappear. Just click on the book jackets below to download these free ebooks.
Thank you for being a subscriber to my newsletter/blog. Please ask God to send my stories to those who need an uplifting story of hope. I consider writing a ministry. Please let me know how I can pray for you. You are the reason I write.
Warm regards,
Shelia
Just the way I imagined it! The cover is beautiful. Blessings!
Hi Kelly,
It took a while to get there, but it finally came together. Who knew choosing a font could be so difficult. Check your email for a little surprise.
Hugs and prayers,
Shelia
