Favorite Book Friday

Disconnect (Saint Squad series Book 13) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. The newest Saint Squad installment that will be released in June. How am I reading it now? I attended a book signing for the author's book Jim and Katherine. We were allowed to purchase Disconnect. A brief guest appearance from several characters from other books, including from the Royals series. What a nail biter! The next can't come soon enough.

Favorite Book Friday

The Deep End (Book 3) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. The 20th Anniversary edition appears shorter, until you realize the font is slightly smaller. Other minor changes don't change the story, more cleaning it up a little bit. Of course, once I've started I can't stop so I'm reading next book and the next and the next...

Good Friday

A horrific day. Jesus endured suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, an unjust trial, beating, flogging, a crown of thorns, a grueling walk carrying the cross, and then crucifixion. He died for each and every person who ever lived or ever would live. The choice is ours to accept the gift. He was laid in a tomb. The world descends into and is shrouded in darkness. If Jesus had stayed dead, it would have been bad. 

Sunday is coming.

Easter is coming

Celebrate with a story.

The Blessing Basket

The thirteenth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Cici, Candy Crothers, lies to everyone, except her Holiday Diner boss, only because he informed her if she lied to him he'd fire her. She ran away from an ugly past and still worries it might catch up to her. Sharing her nightmares is nowhere on her list of things to do, ever.

Trace Brown left the Army honorably but not unscathed. Anger controls his life, holding him back from pretty much everything, including becoming a chef at Holiday Diner. The diner's head hostess intrigues him, but not enough to risk sharing his day-to-day battle with PTSD.

Nothing can drive God away. His hand is stretched out still. He is always there, waiting...

Tough Luck

The fourth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Holiday's playboy, Brent Kelly, returns home a changed man, if only everyone would believe him. The First Annual Tough Luck Run offers him the opportunity to prove he turned over a new leaf.

Cindy Garvey has worked hard her whole life, and now she is preparing to move from employee to business owner with her best friend. The last thing she needs is one more surprise in her life.

God provides the way to Happily Ever After, no matter how far astray His children wander...

If you prefer paperback, Holiday, USA Anthology 2014

All four novellas published in 2014 are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Favorite Book Friday

Undercurrents (Book 1) by Traci Hunter Abramson suspense romance. This is the 20th Anniversary edition, with updated covers and minor editorial changes. Yes, I had both books side by side, checking. Good changes, tightening and improving points of view. It meant more to me as I work on improving my own books. By the way, the changes are in the paperback edition only.
