Set in 19th Century Virginia, the Norgaard family saga is in full swing! Book 1, Sons of Blackbird Mountain releases in just 10 days!! And now, the team at Thomas Nelson and I have the joy of sharing with you the upcoming sequel, Daughters of Northern Shores. Could it be any prettier!? Not only will it continue the story of Thor, Aven, Haakon and the Norgaard family in Appalachia, but it will be venturing to all new coastlines to bring you more of the rich Norwegian heritage and a few Viking tales on the rise…
I cannot wait for you to read book 1 and if you’re hankering to pre-order, they’re both available on Amazon! If you’re on Goodreads, you can add the books to your want-to-read list here!
The cover is lovely!! <3 <3 And the title is perfect!
I’m so glad you like it, Jen! I’ve been eager to share the title with you ladies. 😉

I love that you can feel it, Francesca! And thank you so much!! I’m over-the-moon excited about you reading this one, sweet friend.. and just happened to get a little “paperwork” from Romania today that might have to do with L&L! HUGS!
So excited!!
Such a gorgeous cover! And fitting, I think. And the title is lovely! Cannot wait to learn more about the Norgaard brothers!

Beautiful cover, Joanne! I enjoyed Sons of Blackbird Mountain very much and posted my 5-Star review today on Amazon. Blessings to you with the launch of this new series!
Carrie,
I am so honored by those five stars and can’t wait to read your review. Thank you for posting it and being willing to post to Amazon, too! So thankful for you and honored that you enjoyed the story!
I mean on GoodReads…but I will add it to Amazon after release
Thank you!!
Both of these covers are stunning. I love the overlay of the map on the second book, as well as the letter on the first. They go nicely together. Thanks for giving us the Goodreads link too for Daughters of Northern Shores. Since I read Sons of Blackbird Mountain, I can hardly wait to complete the story. I know it will be well worth waiting for.
Pam, Thank you!! It means doubly much to know that you read and enjoyed Sons of Blackbird Mountain and for the Norgaard family to have a little spot in your heart!
Gorgeous, my friend! So excited for you and this series ~ loved the first book xo
Thank you, sweet, Rel! You’re a gem through and through. <3
Beautiful!!
Thank you, Susan!
Lovely cover, I can’t wait to read it!
I hope you enjoy this story, Carol! 😀
As my paternal grandparents are from Norway looking forward to reading both books.
Kim,
It makes it extra special for me to think of you reading them due to your grandparents and history. I hope the stories will spark fond memories for you.
This cover is exquisite, Joanne! It definitely makes me want to grab it and read. The two covers and titles go so well together.
Winnie,
Delighted by your sweet words on the cover! And oh…those titles. It took us the LONGEST time to choose a title and I’m so thankful for what the team at Thomas Nelson and I finally settled on. It fits the story (and book !) so well. Can’t wait for you to read it, my friend!
Sequel!! The only thing I’m sad about is that 2019 is so far!! My sweet hubby has pre-ordered my Sons of Blackbird Mountain copy. CANNOT WAIT. I told him that the other great thing about his birthday this year is that it’s happening the day before the book release. LOL! And even better…it’s getting released the day before a public holiday, meaning I can read the book in one sitting and sleep the next day. LOL! Thanks Joanne.
Ntebo,
Yes!! Big high-five to your hubby for adding that to your birthday list. Whatta guy 😀 And double-yay for free time to get to dig right into reading once it comes. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful birthday celebration! I’m so delighted that the Norgaard family gets to be part of it. <3
Gorgeous, Absoluty Gorgeous!
THRILLED that you like it, Dana!
I absolutely love this cover! I know it’s going to be a great book!
Brenda, thanks for that vote of confidence! I truly hope the inside is as lovely as the outside. 🙂
I can’t wait!
You’re the best, Melanie!
I am So very excited for Sons of Blackbird Mountain and if anyone tries to talk to me on July 3rd they will be sorely disappointed in my lack of response. And wow the cover for the next book is beautiful!!!! I can’t wait!!!!
Hahaha, Hannah! You are so cute! I read this comment to my mom because it gave me such a giggle. I can’t WAIT for you to have the book in your hands and I’ll do all I can to ward of anyone being overly chatty that day. 😉 I’m excited for you and these characters to meet!
