Linda Clare & The Fence My Father Built

Ronie Abingdon Press, Jane Kirkpatrick, Linda Clare 4 Comments

Hey, y’all! Today, I want to introduce you to a really awesome lady–LINDA CLARE–and her Abingdon Fiction title, THE FENCE MY FATHER BUILT. Through Abingdon, I’ve gotten to know Linda, and I have to tell you she’s one of the sweetest, most encouraging ladies I’ve met. I’m so honored to feature her book and share with you a gem! THE FENCE MY FATHER BUILT When legally separated Muri Pond, a librarian, hauls her kids, teenager Nova and eleven year-old Truman, out to the tiny town of Murkee, Oregon, where her father, Joe Pond lived and died, she’s confronted by a neighbor’s harassment over water rights and Joe’s legacy: a fence made from old oven doors. The fence and accompanying house …

Mission: Julia

Hey, y’all. Okay, I didn’t figure Shiloh would give you a full explanation. She rarely does. Reece is even worse. (If you haven’t visited NovelJourney, then click on over there and find out what all the hub-bub is about–it’s life or death!) Here’s the rundown: Reece’s older sister is missing. Something I mentioned in my book must’ve exposed her (which is interesting–do you know what her career is *supposed* do to be?). Anyway. We have to find her. Since time’s of the essence, let me give you some help in finding the clues. Use the blogs below–they’re proven to be safe havens for characters, so I believe that’s where we’ll find the path that leads to Julia. Ane Mulligan Southern-Fried …

FIVE DAYS!!

Ronie Abingdon Press, Barbara Scott, Dead Reckoning, Steve Laube 2 Comments

Can you believe it? I can’t. There are only five days left before the release of my debut title, DEAD RECKONING!! It’s been a long, crazy ride to this point. Above, you can see the print sample Abingdon Fed-Exed to me this week. What a thrill sliding this copy out of the envelope. ZOWIE! Nothing like that. It also made me acutely aware of what–and who–it took to get Dead Reckoning published and in my hot little (okay, maybe not so little) hand. Encouragement from my husband to seek publication, my awesome agent Steve Laube, my friends and critique partners, an editor–the incredible Barbara Scott–who caught the vision for Dead Reckoning, believed in me and the story, and was willing …

Dead Reckoning – A review

Ronie Abingdon Press, Alyice Edrich, Barbara Scott, Dead Reckoning, The Dabbling Mum 6 Comments

Okay, I had to share this review with y’all–it’s the first that’s come since the ARCs went out. Revel in the moment with me, please! 😀 I just had to write to tell you what a FANTASTIC book you’ve written. I loved how it held my interest from beginning to end. I told myself one chapter a night, and it was so hard to stop reading at just one chapter. I was impressed with how you kept the story moving, as the romance began to unfold. Most books of this nature tend to forget to keep the story going once the romance hits and focuses solely on the romance, I find that annoying. I loved the spy aspect and found …

Okay, yep, I’m jumping up and down, and dancing! My book, DEAD RECKONING, is up on Amazon now. I’m soooo excited.
