Great news! We have reached 320 as of this morning! We're getting closer and closer to 350. Thanks for spreading the word! Keep up the good work!!! It's my birthday this month, June 28th, and I would love to see that number (350) when I check that morning. What a great birthday present that would make! Woooop Woooop!! (waving the pom poms again!)
I just found out that a library somewhere in the United States has my book. One of my fans asked them to stock it and they did! Due to privacy issues, said fan was unable to divulge exactly where this library is. I can respect that. But it's great news! So, if each of you ask your local library to stock it, maybe they would.
**Special note**
Congratulations to Jennifer Murgia for her continued success on her debut novel, "Angel Star". If you haven't bought this book yet, you really need to! I'm buying it for my birthday present. Can't wait!!

ABSENT
HELLLLLLOOOO???? IS ANYONE THERE???
I'm not getting very much feedback from my friends out there! We are up to 292 people who've put Her Sanctuary on their TBR list. Come on people!! I KNOW we can hit 300. So here's the challenge. Invite at least one friend to become a fan and mark the book "to read".
We can do this. I know we can!
GO TEAM!! (waves pom-poms and executes a split)
:)
OH, and as for all of you who have put it on your TBR list, please think about it buying it as your summer read. Beach season is here and this book would be great for lying on a blanket, soaking up the sun and getting lost in romance.
So......BUY IT ALREADY!! LOL

Review
Hey fans! Just thought you'd like to read the glowing review from a fellow author:
Fiona McGier wrote:
P.Q. Glisson has written a moving love story about the redemption to be had from opening up a damaged heart to find true love. Shannon Mallory carries a lot of baggage from her past life with her, when she rolls into a small town, the aptly-named Sanctuary, Arizona, in her RV that she calls "The Titanic". She is a beautiful, though guarded woman, who has seen her own dreams become nightmares one too many times. When she drops into the local diner for a meal, she feels an affinity for the place, and for the kindly elderly couple who run it, two people who seem to have found a love that lasts through the ages. Shannon has lost her belief in that sort of love. But she is intrigued when she sees one side of the diner filled with jovial people eating, and the other with only one occupant, a tall, lone Native American male. Curious, she makes inquiries and is told that his is a tragic story, that his wife and infant son died in a car accident that everyone in town believes he caused since he was driving, and that no one accepts his tale of "memory loss". And in fact, no one hates him more than he himself does. The only time he is seen in public is when he eats three meals a day in the diner, and he exists by selling hand-made wood products that rich folks buy, from the man who used to be a doctor until life sucker-punched him.
Ms. Glisson gives the reader insight into the thoughts of all of the characters, and it becomes obvious to them as well as to the reader, that the attraction that Seth Proudfoot, a half-breed with brilliant blue eyes, and Shannon feel for each other is as intense and undeniable as it is mutual. Shannon takes a job as a waitress in the diner, which begins to tie her future to the town. During some time off, she borrows the truck that her bosses insist she use, and she discovers a cabin with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Since she is a talented amateur painter, she falls in love with the view. The owner of the cabin turns out to be Seth himself, but he doesn't live in the cabin anymore, since it reminds him of his previously happy life. He lives above the garage next to it. They awkwardly make overtures of friendship to each other, while each battles their own instincts and hormones, to maintain a semblance of civilization. When Shannon hits a tree as she is driving home, Seth uses his medical skills to stitch her head wound, and he insists that she stay for a few days, until she is recovered. While she is there, she recovers more than her physical health, as they eventually give in to what they both most want to do, and their passion is explosive, almost setting the pages on fire!
Many events conspire to thwart their happiness, not the least of which is the deep distrust they both feel about themselves as being worthy of love and trust. There is a boyhood friend of Seth's from whom he has been estranged since his wife's death, since folks in town whispered that there was an affair that Seth found out about which lead to a fight culminating in the fatal accident. The friend turns out to be very similar to the kind of man from whom Shannon learned fear and distrust. Fortunately, Shannon also inherited money from the same man who still haunts her nightmares. She uses her ill-gotten gains to judiciously improve the fortunes of many of the locals, and creates a permanent place for herself in their hearts, as well as in the life of the man she comes to realize is her soul-mate. There are many scenes of scorching passion, as Shannon and Seth both face what they have found in each other. And Seth eventually has to accept his Native American birthright, in order to be with the woman of his dreams. Shannon, who thought there was no place in the world in which she could ever feel safe, comes to realize that wherever Seth is will be a sanctuary for her, in which she can live the life she thought was impossible, with a man who treats her as a goddess, though it's not her feet he spends his time worshiping! The happy ending is deeply satisfying, and a little bit mystical. Some things are indeed magical, and finding a lasting true love can make a believer out of anyone, including Shannon and Seth.
Thanks Fiona! You're DA BOMB!!

Reading
Hey everyone! Well, we're up to 287 people! That's great, and more reviews have come in. There are more people reading the book so that's good news too!
I have been recommending books by new authors and some established, long forgotten ones as well.
If you haven't read my book yet, I encourage you to put it on your summer reading list. It's the perfect book to read while sitting by the pool, or lounging on the beach, or even while snuggled up on the couch or in bed.
Thanks again to all you fans out there. You're the best!!

Plea
Hey friends!
So listen. I was checking the status on Her Sanctuary. Over 232 have put it on their TBR list but only 1 wonderful person is reading it. Does anyone else see the problem here? It would be really great if some of you actually picked it up and read it. I've gotten 18 ratings with an average of 4.00 so you know it'll probably be a good read. If you are looking for a good book to read for your Group read in June, check it out. If you just want to get lost in a story of passionate first love or redeeming love, pick it up. It's available in book form but also in Kindle, Nook and ebook. If you are a reviewer, I would be happy to send you the PDF file for free. I just want this wonderful, very precious creation to find it's way into every readers' hands.
So please, if you've read it and enjoyed it, recommend it to all your friends.
But be warned: If passionate love scenes aren't for you, don't buy the book but if you know someone who does, tell them about it.
And finally, I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the people who have read my book. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
I'm currently writing two more stories which you can get a sneak preview on my profile page under "My Writings".
Thanks again!!!!

please stop by and post a comment. It doesn't have to be anything lengthy, just speak about the book. What you like about it, would you recommend it? What did you think about Shannon and Seth's relationship and their pasts. Have you been in Shannon's shoes (in an abusive relationship) Did you ever regret things from your past....you know, that sorta stuff. Let's have fun!!!
