New Release

Just released yesterday, December 28th, my newest sweet contemporary for Sweet Promise Press.

Vivyane Scott dreams of being on the silver screen. Unfortunately, life seems to have other plans. The death of her beloved grandfather brings her back home, where she learns he has purchased the Lone Star Movie Theater for her. The theater, like her dreams, is in tatters.

Bo Walker loves to renovate aging buildings from Sweet Grove’s past. He agrees to look at a building for his brother and a group of investors, when a chance meeting turns his hopes around leading to something more wonderful than he could ever image. It pays never hide your light under a bushel basket. Who knows, maybe, Vivyane's passion for the arts will be big enough for both of them. All he has to do is hold on to his Lucky Star.

I just love the cover. I hope you'll enjoy the story. You can find the book at these locations:

Two new releases!

Wowzers! What a fantastic month. I'm please to announce two new releases.

Rebel's Crossroad's series has a new short out in print and ebook called Random Acts of Kindness.



Dan Rodgers, the local handyman, seems lost without a wife. When Reverend Finlay preaches a sermon on random acts of kindness, Miss Muriel Lowe sets out to find him one. Her intentions focus on Jocelyn Lankford, Rebel's Crossroads librarian. A little maneuvering after service and before long Dan and Jocelyn are an item.

Well suited for one another, Jocelyn is content to allow romance to enter her life until little Charlie West comes clean about Miss Muriel's payment and how he was instructed to run into her in order for her and Dan to meet. Humiliated, Jocelyn has a few choice words for the local busy body, but she doubts Dan really loves her.

Can Dan convince her that his love is real, or will Miss Muriel's matchmaking ruin their budding romance?

And the third book in the Indigo Series from Fire Star Press, To Lasso Her Heart is being released on February 29th... a leap day release.

Troy Malone runs the family's dude ranch in Indigo Springs, where visitors get to experience the thrill of the old west. When Troy goes in search of a publicity company, he gets far more than he bargained for. Seeing Amanda Perry, an old flame from the past, makes him curious—learning that she will be the publicity company’s representative intrigues him even more. When Amanda left town years ago, she broke his heart. Can he take a chance on her turning his world upside down again? Will she make or break his dreams this time around?

Amanda Perry thought she'd put the past behind her when she’d left Indigo Springs on the run. Now, she has pressure from her boss to put together a promotional campaign for Troy Malone—the man she’s tried for years to forget. Can she battle her own feelings and keep her relationship with Troy all business? The secret she carries could destroy him. But keeping a Malone at arm’s length is next to impossible when one look is all it takes TO LASSO HER HEART.

So bring on spring and those lazy Saturdays spent reading beneath the shade of a tree. Nothing goes better together than a good book and a cold glass of ice tea. 

Happy Reading!

 

 

Meet new author: Cara Preston!

I have had the pleasure these past few months working with several ladies on a collection of books for love the second time around with Red Rose Publishing. Today, I'd like to introduce to you the lovely and talented Cara Preston.

All about Cara Preston.

I enjoy writing and acting. I've been writing for years, doing photojournalism and poetry first, then concentrating on short stories and novels. Under my real name, Phyllis Johnson, I have had three poetry books published. I also conduct writing workshops and host open mic nights. I also write a weekly newspaper column and do restaurant reviews.

How long have you been writing?

I've been writing for twenty years.

What made you decide you wanted to be a writer?

When I was a young girl, I was given a toy typewriter and that instilled a love for writing at an early age.

How did you come up with the idea of Another Place and Time ?

I was staying at a writing retreat with my friend and I was inspired to write the story there. Actually, the story includes mention of the bed and breakfast in it. In some strange ways, the story became precognitive of something that later took place in my life.

What do you see happening in your writing future?

I see series of books in my future, of different genre. I also see myself as a motivational speaker on a book tour.

Blurb:

Is there such thing as a soul mate? Trina's divorce has left her shaken and wondering. Then someone comes along who totally blows her away. Ben is different. It's as though he's from another era, but is he? Paranormal events lead her to believe that he is from another time zone. Will she take a chance on him and find love again?

Excerpt

Leave it to Trina to have memories usually rooted in food. It never failed. Those dreams about a blue car were no doubt triggered at some point by a blueberry muffin before going to bed. And that black patent leather purse she bragged about was undoubtedly inspired by some strand of black licorice, known to be an aphrodisiac. That's it… food and sex. The two had an intertwining with a fine line of division. Talk about a Better than Sex Cake often had Trina scratching her head. Better than sex? She had her doubts.
