Possible New Book. Any ideas??

I have a new book that I'm pondering, centered around New York in the time where the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Co. Fire happened in 1911. This book will be about a woman named Savannah Walker, who with her best friend Beth, immigrants from England, went to the United States to work. Savannah is taking care of her nephew Johnny, whose mother passed away a year and a half before. 
Savannah is going to be the first main character, but the secondary one will be the man she meets and falls in love with, Jacob Collins, a waiter at a restaurant. 
Let me know what you think.

New Story???

Okay, I think I have an idea for a blog???
Let me know what you think:

Book: "Opposites Attract", by JMG:
Characters:
Jake Collins-28-producer of the ad agency, relies on his secretary for errands & stuff, such as getting his coffee and doughnuts, etc.
Tessa Martin-26-secretary of the ad agency, very sarcastic, and is dating Jake's colleague, whom he's jealous of.
This story will be about a secretary and her boss who like to argue and fight a lot, although they hardly notice that they seem to spend too much time together in the small town of Lincoln, Montana. But Tessa's new boyfriend does, and brings them together. 
Let me know... JMG. :)

Any Ideas??

I'm trying to figure out some new topics for books, but the more I think of ideas, the more they do not appeal to me for some odd reason. So if anybody has any ideas, I would be happy to try them out. So just let me know!!
Here are the topics I have come up with so far:
-book about a shy ballet girl who falls in love with a guy who's obese and has loved her for a few years, ever since she's moved there. the story will center around how it's important to not look on the outside of a person, but on the inside, and that love can happen to anyone.
-book about an Olympics basketball player who falls for a small-town girl who had been one of his biggest fans.
-book about a handicapped girl who falls in love with a tough guy at the high school, and he learns to not be such a bully.

Well, there they are. If you like one of them or want to know more about the idea of one of them becoming a book, please let me know!! Thanks!! :)

On to a new book?

I am in the process of trying to decide whether I should write this new book, dated back in the 17th century. I am very interested in English history, particularly during the Tudor era.
Well anyways, I might like some input on whether or not I should write the story. It's going to be called "Queen Beth", about a woman named Beth who falls into an arranged marriage to a count, by her parents. She's the youngest of four children, and has three older, protective and wonderful brothers. But when she marries this George guy, she ends up hating him and they argue a lot. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow for one another. They end up having a daughter, but by this time Beth is beginning to be sort of obsessed with this idea to become England's King George III's queen, despite him already having one. The determination Beth has to make her family, both the one she's married with and the one she was raised with, more powerfully happier and wealthier. But her decision just might cost her everything she's ever known.
There is going to be a bit of violence in the book, but the main focus will be of Beth and her husband George following God's will and becoming close with one another.
So do you think I should do this one? I'm still not sure yet myself, but I hope and pray it is God's will that He wants me to do it....
In the mean time, I'm saving all my other books in my email for future refrence. Only God knows when I'll actually have a good printer to print everything.

As always, precious blessings!

New LI Series

Currently I am working on a Love Inspired series of books. It'll be about 12 people total, six books, six different men and women. The women and men have all become friends in some way, and I am going to save the best for last. Here are the names of the characters:
*Tracy & Taylor Rudd
*Jack & Whitney Anders
*Mike & Joyce Jenson
*Katherine & Nolan Townsend
*Ava & Chris Schulman
*Justin & Jessie Kramer

Taylor & Tracy's story is about a doctor and a kindergarten teacher. Tracy Johnson can't trust a man again after her sister married her high school boyfriend six years before, although hadn't seen or spoken to her sister in 10 years. Taylor is determined to make things right again for Tracy, but would he end up regretting his decision?

Jack & Whitney's story is about a carpenter and an RN. Whitney Williams lost her ex-husband to a divorce after they lost their infant son to stillbirth. And now she realizes she's falling for the carpenter hired to redo her shed after a tornado. But can she be able to tell Jack the truth when they begin to grow closer than she'd ever imagined?

Mike & Joyce's story is about a fun-loving chef & a carpenter. When Joyce Martin comes to help him redo his house roof, Mike finds himself in a position where he's never been. The red-haired spitfire of a woman is annying but sentimental, and Mike has never been one to get serious about something. Would it different this time?

Nolan & Katherine's story is about a quiet farmer who falls in love with Katherine Rockwell, a woman who with her three-month old daughter has been running from her abusive ex-husband. The last thing Nolan wants is another nuisance, but he himself is running from his past. He soon finds himself wanting to make a home for both the woman and her baby.

Chris & Ava's story is about a policeman and a Spanish artist. After seeking solace with her good friend, Ava finds herself rooming in Chris's garage apartment. But she's feared men for years, and takes solace with painting canvases. Chris has had too many failed relationships. But can he prove to the woman he's falling for that he could never even hurt a fly?

Justin & Jessie's story is about a chef & a secretary, and the last one of the series. Jessie is running from her past, and keeps her mind off of it by her faith in God, her dog, and helping her friends. But now that her friends are all married and seem to have her own lives, maybe it's time for Justin, the man who's always adored her, to change HER life.

Precious Blessings,
