I’ve talked before about my Lavender Vale Farm series. I have a few updates on it that I wanted to share today.
One of the reasons I enjoyed writing this series was imagining the beautiful Texas hill country. Especially in the spring and summer when the wildflowers are blooming and everything is a deep green. I also loved the characters, the three siblings, Faye, Melanie, and Ben who each find faith and healing at the lavender farm.
For me, there’s something about being outside and close to nature that helps me feel closer to the Lord. I see His handiwork everywhere and can see so many spiritual lessons unfolding right before my eyes. The faith of a seed. How birds and other animals have everything they need, and so can we. The parables about weeds and good soil. The list can go on and on.
The series has been bundled into a collection that is available in ebook and print. And, if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read the whole series for free.
One other thing I’m about to get started is putting the complete series on audio. That will get started in March.
If you’ve not read the Lavender Vale Farm series yet, buying the complete series is cheaper than buying them separately.
Visit the beautiful Lavender Farm where a family of three siblings finds hope, healing, and love in the Texas Hill Country.
It starts with a man on his deathbed.
An estranged daughter.
A young man who belongs to no one.
And the mercy they find in a loving God who brings them all together….
Because of the Lord’s great mercy, Faye and Chase decide to turn the little farm they’ve inherited from Heath into a Lavender Farm for tourists to enjoy, deep in the heart of the Texas hill country. What they didn’t expect was for this simple farm to become a place of healing and restoration. When Faye’s siblings—Melanie, soon to be followed by her wayward brother—Benjamin, show up on their doorstep, needing help, love, and acceptance, their vision for the farm becomes something neither of them anticipated.
In the midst of beauty, there might be thorns.
In the thorns, there might be pain.
But in the beautiful places, where the Lord’s light shines brightest, there one finds healing and restoration.
Read all three novellas in one complete collection and lose yourself at the Lavender Vale Farm.
Happy Reading,
Jackie Castle

I like the sound of the series.
I love lavender! I need to check these out, thank you!
Sounds like a wonderful series!
Hi Jackie! As a Michigander so looking forward to spring, which is in the air. While the sun is warmer, will be another month before we have spring flowers. Michigan has several lavender farms. One has a labyrith. I enjoyed reading the Lavender Vale series. Best wishes.
Oh! A lavender labyrinth sounds wonderful! All we have is corn mazes, LOL!
Jackie, I’m curious as to how you go about choosing someone to narrate the audio books. Do you have a publisher who handles that or are you doing that directly?
Ooh, this series sounds awesome! Lavender is one of my favorite scents and I have a screensaver of lavender fields on my computer! And I also LOVE series about siblings! 🙂
*Runs to Amazon*
These sound great! I have allergic reactions to lavendar, but I love reading about lavendar farms!
Sounds like a great series Thank you I love to smell the outdoors !
Thanks.
I do it directly using ACX. I put up a book and narrators audition for it. I pick someone who has a voice that feels like it fits my story.
Ha ha! Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you.
Oh man! Well, that’s the beauty of books. We can read about places we can’t go. Right?
I love gardening and the outdoors. Lavender is so beautiful. Would love to read.
Yes, and enjoy things we might not be able to, otherwise! Plus, visit places we may never get to go!
I just added this to my wishlist!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve never heard of a lavender farm. It sounds nice ill have to check these books.
Lavender make me think of my mom (she loves lavender and purple). Your book makes me think about learning to love your family.
a lavender farm sounds like a lovely place for a love to bloom
Beautiful covers Jackie!
I love nature-particularly ocean-so magnificent-reminder of Crestor!
Good idea. It should let you know when I put ot on sale. *hint hint… Probably zometime in March rigjt around the first day of Spring.
I agree with you so much. I love being outdoors and feel the closest to God when I’m surrounded by the beautiful outdoors He has created. I wanted an outdoor wedding but my mom insisted on a church wedding. 😅 your book series sounds lovely.
I bet a lavender farm like this one smells delightful in full bloom. These stories sound interesting and very inspirational.
I love traveling Texas when all the flowers are in bloom especially the Bluebonnets. Thankfully I live in Texas and am able to see them every year!
This sounds like a beautiful, heart-felt series! And I love lavender!
Sounds like a great series! I love the beautiful colors!
