Shattered Sanctuary by Nancy Mehl is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line. Prologue: He stood over the rough-hewn coffin, gazing at the face of his mother–the only person who had ever loved him. But first the photo and verse that I almost saved for Easter. It’s another great photo from Tim Johnson and I love it! Did you …
Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’re the first lines: “Deja Vu. A premonition. Call it what you want, but Jo Cattrel had always had a feeling it would come to this.” But first the photo and verse. I took it at the outlet mall in Old Branson. I’d walked probably a couple of miles and had …
Written in Secret (The Art of Love and Danger) by Crystal Caudill is this week’s Reader Friday post. Here are the first two lines: Lydia tucked her feet beneath the plush chair and adjusted the borrowed rubber coat tighter around her body as the booking clerk of the Oliver Street station house ogled her again. What had she been thinking …
The Hemlock Aperture by Steve Hooley is this week’s Reader Friday post. I’ve had requests from readers for a book for their middle-grade reader and didn’t know where to point them. But once I read one of Steve Hooley’s Bolt Series books, I was hooked. I had someone to recommend. A little background on Steve. He’s a retired doctor who …
The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch is this week’s Reader Friday. This week I’m doing something a little different in that I’m giving you the last three sentences of the first chapter: “I fear this will be my last entry. But I fear every entry might be my last. She’s tried to kill me before.” And now I’ll leave …
Where’s the Quetzal? (The Empty Nesters Book 2) by Jen Dodrill is this week’s Reader Friday. Here are the first two lines: “I woke, panting and sweating, sheets twisted around my feet. Eight months since the murders and the Keatons’ escape, and I still suffered from crazy dreams.” But first the photo and verse. This is a photo of the …
One Wrong Move by Dani Pettrey is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first line: “He inhaled the stiff resolution of her death. She’d seen Cyrus. Remembered him.” But first the photo and verse. I took it back in December in Florida. Sunsets always make me think of God’s strength and this one was no exception. I thought the verse fit …
A Murder for the Sages by Amy Lillard is this week’s Reader Friday. Here are the first two lines: “Well, it seems to me that somethin’ like that would be durn-near impossible.” George Waters looked around the Sunflower Cafe to see what sort of support he got. But first the photo and verse. With snow on the ground and temps …
Serial Burn by Lynette Eason is this week’s Reader Friday. Here are the first two lines: “Someone had to stop her. She was going to ruin everything if left to do what she planned,” But first the photo and verse. I took the photo last week, I think, as I walked around my neighborhood. It was the first flower I’d …
The Hunted Heir by Jayna Breigh is this week’s Reader Friday. Here’s the first paragraph: ANOTHER NEW YEAR’S Eve, and Nona Taylor’s prayer remained unanswered. Still. The digital clock on the microwave read 6:20. Five hours and forty minutes until midnight. Five hours and forty minutes until she begged God—again—to grant her one, her only, request. But first the photo …
