Sam Blackburn excels at fighting fire with fire in Tennessee, whether it’s putting out deadly forest blazes or rescuing his old friend, widow Avery Montague, who’s lost her nerve on a steep mountain cliff. What happened to the daring, adventure-loving teenager who wasn’t afraid of anything? As kids, Avery was always pushing Sam to be brave, to be better, so he’s ready to return the favor.

My #NaNoWriMo plans
NaNoWriMo=National Novel Writing Month (in November)
For everyone who has ever said she wants to write a book.
And for those who have written several books but need a little bit of a kick in the pants (namely, moi).
This year, I have a book that needs to be written. I have an actual, real life synopsis. AND I have an editor’s notes on that golden synopsis and the first three chapters (Harlequin Heartwarming Book 5: The best one yet).
There’s no way I can fail to finish this book in a month. (Frantically knocking on wood)
This is the Before picture of my desk. It’s been cleared of empty Diet Coke cans, dusted, and straightened. The papers are the golden synopsis and editor notes. That candy corn WAS the only candy in the house. It is gone now.
Are you writing, too?
Because I know me, I’m pretty sure I’ll fall short of the finish line, but I’m going to give it a shot. You’re my secret weapon. I’m telling you I’m going to do this in the hopes that it will make me actually do this. I will tweet occasional word count updates and put up a graph (EXCEL nerd!) at some point. Leave me a comment to let me know what you’re working on. Maybe we can run together.

EXCERPT:
Ivy scrolled through the other messages she’d been ignoring all day long. All from Josh. All worried. Updating the website to reflect the next year’s season and tour dates had taken three times longer than it should have because she kept picking up her phone.
If she had an answer, she’d give it, but she’d have to spend time grieving first and she had no time for that. Not until Christmas was over.
Then her father would know they were splitting.
Josh’s parents, who’d taken her in and loved her like a daughter, would treat her like an acquaintance.
And she would be. The Ivy she’d been in the eight years she and Josh had been together would be shattered. Whatever she built out of that mess would be new.
I’m fine, but I’m driving tonight. Headed out on my first tour. I’ll call you later.
He didn’t deserve to worry, even if his stubborn insistence that he had to leave Christmas Town was tearing them apart. That morning, after she’d demanded to know what was in the PFD envelope she’d found while cleaning up their desk, he’d informed her he’d taken the entrance exam. Without telling her.
Outlining calmly all the reasons it was a bad idea to leave Christmas Town hadn’t worked. Instead of agreeing, he’d snapped, “For once in our lives, do what I want, Ivy. Come with me or…” She’d waited for him to fill in the blank on that ultimatum for half a second before running away.
Ivy stared hard at her phone for half a second, willing him to apologize, tell her she was right, beg her to come back.
Instead, all she saw was that she was two minutes later than she’d started.
“Work. Do the work. Then you have two days to convince Josh to change his mind.” She’d always been able to before. The anxious twist of her stomach made her wonder if this was the time she’d fail.
Standard operating procedure was to walk around the bus to check the tires and make sure it was road ready. She’d done all the research and built the safety checklist herself. She couldn’t skip it, not even to make up time.
As Ivy was trotting around the end of the bus, she noticed a long, skinny black nose poking out from behind the left rear tire.
Ivy squatted to peer under the bus.
A shivering black dog of indeterminate heritage stared at her, his or her ears quivering along with the tremors that shook a long body.
“Perfect.” Ivy held her hand out and wiggled her fingers. She wasn’t a dog person. Or a cat person. Or the kind of person that wanted to clean after any animal, two-legged or four-legged.
But she also wasn’t a monster.
“It’s too cold out here for you, baby,” Ivy said softly and made kissing sounds. Josh did that with every dog they ever met on the sidewalk. It must be the universal sound of “I’m an okay person” to dogs because this stray inched forward on his belly, shaking, while his tail pounded in hard thumps on the asphalt.
“Come on. We don’t have time for a lot of conversation, mister.” She wasn’t sure why she thought this dog was a boy.
Probably because he was disrupting her plans. She should name him Josh Junior.
