THE BLURB:
Thirteen years ago, Natalie lost a part of herself when her twin sister died. Will traveling back to the family winery finally put the memory to rest, or will it completely destroy her?
When Natalie Mitchell learns her beloved grandfather has had a heart attack, she’s forced to return to their family-owned winery in Sonoma, something she never intended to do. She’s avoided her grandparents’ sprawling home and all its memories since the summer her sister died—the awful summer Natalie’s nightmares began. But the winery is failing, and Natalie’s father wants her to shut it down. As the majority shareholder, she has the power to do so.
And Natalie never says no to her father.
Tanner Collins, the vintner on Maoilios, is trying to salvage a bad season and put the Mitchell family’s winery back in business. When Natalie Mitchell shows up, Tanner sees his future about to be crushed. Natalie intends to close the gates, unless he can convince her otherwise. But the Natalie he remembers from childhood is long gone, and he’s not so sure he likes the woman she’s become. Still, the haunted look she wears hints at secrets he wants to unearth. He soon discovers that on the night her sister died, the real Natalie died too. And Tanner must do whatever it takes to resurrect her.
But finding freedom from the past means facing it.
THE FIRST LINE:
The wood-paneled walls of the boardroom were closing in.
MY THOUGHTS:
Much anticipated read, the blurb alone draws me in, and that first line—I can feel the pressure, the need to get out. I feel the panic and desperation.
GENRE:
Contemporary Christian Romance
STARS:
Can’t rate it, haven’t read it yet—next on my TBR list though!

CHAT THURSDAY – REVIEWER INTERVIEW – CARRIE BOOTH SCHMIDT
“The highlight of blogging for me is when I am able to introduce you to your next favorite read or a new-to-you author!”
“Considering that my first word was “book”, it was pretty much a given that I would be a voracious reader.”
rem: Hullo!!! Hullo!!! Hullo Meez Carrie! Welcome to my little nest! Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
CARRIE: I was born in East Tennessee, raised in northern Illinois, and we moved to central Kentucky when I was a freshman in high school. That was (muffled) years ago and I’m still here! Love my state!
rem: It’s good to love your home, wherever you may be. Tell us three things about yourself.
CARRIE: 1. I love to read (duh) 2. I tend to collect book boyfriends 3. I love being a “cool aunt”!
rem: So you read? Really?? huh, who’d’a thunk it…. And kudos for “cool aunt.” You have an unusual blogging companion, Zuzu. Tell us about her.
CARRIE: Zuzu is the quirkiest dog in all the land! We adopted her when she was a year old and we’ve had her for almost ten years. I’m trying not to think about how old that makes her (sniffle). Zuzu is a Vizsla-Boxer mix and takes her duties as “Velcro dog” very seriously. Must be near one of her humans at all times. She loves to sleep but she also loves to play and go on walks and in many ways she still has a lot of puppy energy. And she has the softest ears EVER.
rem: What a precious, sweet face. ❤ I understand Zuzu hosts her own interviews. Here is today’s interview, something of a prank perpetrated on her poor self.

What is your favourite quotation and why?
CARRIE: One of my very favorite quotes is from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, while Mr. Beaver is talking about Aslan. He says, “Safe? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” I love what that says about Jesus. He never called us to be safe … and He never promised us safety per se. But He is so very good, and because of His goodness we can dare to change the definition of ‘safe’!
rem: One of my favorite stories, book and movie! And wonderful quote, so much truth and so much meaning. What’s your all-time favorite movie? Favorite TV show?
CARRIE: My all-time favorite movie is While You Were Sleeping. Oh be still my heart, I adore that movie! I’ve practically got it memorized

TUESDAY REVIEWS-DAY – RELEASE DAY EVENT – BEHIND THE SCENES
Miss Permilia Griswold may have been given the opportunity of a debut into New York high society, but no one warned her she wasn’t guaranteed to “take.” After spending the last six years banished to the wallflower section of the ballroom, she’s finally putting her status on the fringes of society to good use by penning anonymous society gossip columns under the pseudonym “Miss Quill.”
Mr. Asher Rutherford has managed to maintain his status as a reputable gentleman of society despite opening his own department store. While pretending it’s simply a lark to fill his time, he has quite legitimate reasons for needing to make his store the most successful in the country.
When Permilia overhears a threat against the estimable Mr. Rutherford, she’s determined to find and warn the man. Disgruntled at a first meeting that goes quite poorly and results in Asher not believing her, she decides to take matters into her own hands, never realizing she’ll end up at risk as well.
As Asher and Permilia are forced to work together and spend time away from the spotlight of society, perhaps there’s more going on behind the scenes than they ever could have anticipated…
Asher dug a hand into his jacket pocket, hoping to find something that could be used as a weapon. Pulling out a bag of sweets he’d been sent to sample for the confectionary shop he’d recently added to his first floor, he set it on the ground and tried again. A moment later he shook his head in disgust as he looked over the contents he’d pulled out – a gentleman’s cufflink, a necktie, a bottle of cologne he’d been meaning to sample, and a powder puff one of his salesladies had handed him, trying to convince him that offering beauty products in a visible part of the store would be an enormous profit make.
He couldn’t help but think it was a sad state of affairs that he had not a single item that could be used as a weapon, unless he could get close enough to the arrow-shooting criminal to blind him by dousing him with the cologne.
rem: Hullo Jen, and congratulations on your new book! If you could live anywhere in any time period, where would you go?
JEN: I’m perfectly content living in the present, especially since I do enjoy a more modern, and shall we say, cleaner, way of life. However, if I could visit a time period and then come right back to my comfortable home, I’d definitely got to New York in the 1880’s. It would be fabulous to attend one of those balls, as well as Delmonico’s.
rem: I’m with you! I’ll stay right here—but I’ll go visit with ya (ahem) anytime! Tee hee hee Where did you find this story idea?
JEN : I’ve been planning on doing a book set at the Vanderbilt ball for years. My time-line finally hit 1883, so I reached into a box I keep with different story ideas, drew out the wallflower notes, and took it from there.
rem: Well I must say, I’m glad your timeline (ahem) lined up finally! Who was the easiest character to write and why? The most difficult?
JEN: Mr. Asher Rutherford was the easiest because I fashioned him after three friends of mine. The Huxley sisters were the hardest because they were originally supposed to be frightening, and perhaps responsible for a few murders in the city. They just wouldn’t cooperate with that idea, so their storyline completely changed.
rem: Well, no, I don’t suppose someone would agree to that, even if they did do the murders! What do you munch on while you’re writing / researching / editing?
JEN: I don’t snack when I’m working. I might have a water bottle on my desk, but that’s about it. I can’t eat candy because it gives me a headache, and since I’ve reached a certain age, well, allow me to say that if I even think about chips, my hips get wider the very next second. If I don’t have snacks in my office, I have to go to the kitchen when I’m hungry. Now, that might not seem like a substantial hurdle, but I get a little intense when I’m working and even going to the kitchen can be a bother. It’s like a weird type of diet system.
rem: We won’t talk about a certain age and hips. Let’s just leave it at that… What do you do to recover once you’ve typed “THE END?”
JEN: I normally clean out a closet, or go shopping. I just finished the third book in this series and this time I went shopping. Found a delightful pair of pink sandals, was going to wear them out this weekend, but then…it snowed.
rem: I remember you mentioned the pretty pink sandals—and the snow! You’re more than welcome to come here, it’s 80° today! Jen, thanks so much for popping by the blog and sharing about your FUN book!

NEW WEEK NEW FACE – 1 May 2017- WHY WRITERS MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS by EMILY HENDRYX (repost)
WHY WRITERS MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS by EMILY HENDRYX (repost)
I fell in love with writing at a young age. Being an only child I was able to use my imagination in creative ways all the time. I made up stories to amuse myself. Plus, in our home, books were devoured (in the best way) and that grew an appreciation for story in me. It was only natural that I’d want to take that love of story and create my own. I became a writer.
What do you think of when you think of a writer? Maybe a favorite book comes to mind (and the author along with that). Or maybe you think of someone looking pensively out a window with a notepad in hand (or typewriter, or laptop…). Or maybe you think of someone who’s a little eccentric and is always taking notes or muttering about some character or plot.
Whatever your perspective of a writers is, I’d like to give you a little insight into some of the things that make writers great—yes, I’m a lot little bias. We’re a rare breed and should you be lucky enough to have a writer friend, this may help you understand them a little better.
Writers are:
Creative
We see the world in a different way. We don’t just live life, we experience it. All emotion we feel is an experience. All places, possible locations. All new people we meet, potential characters. In the end, every day is research for us. It’s all material for a book. I think that makes us experience things in a different way than others. If you’re lucky enough to be friends with a writer, you’ll see some of that experience. Let it rub off on you!
Contemplative
Writers don’t just take things at face value. They stew on them. Mull them over in their minds. Make connections to things that others wouldn’t. It makes for some tough, emotion-filled days when the things we’re contemplating are difficult, but in the end, we have a deeper well of thought to pull from. Because of this contemplative nature, we are compassionate and empathetic. We won’t give you empty answers, we’ll truly think through what we say.
Observant
It doesn’t matter where we are, we’re always thinking about story. Either the one we’re working on, the one (or many) we’re reading, or the one we want to write. Because of that, we take in everything around us. People, places, smells, actions…we are ultimate people watchers. This can be fun, but it can also be difficult if your writer friend is distracted by a conversation they are listening in on. Don’t worry though, they aren’t eavesdropping so much as gaining insight into better ways to write dialogue or to capture the inflection of the person speaking. They’ll come back to the conversation, and they’ll probably have some great stories to tell too!
Focused
Being a writer means we have to be able to focus on the task at hand: our writing. It takes time, energy, and immense effort to write a novel. While some may see this as taking away from “friend-time” I’d challenge you to see past that to the reality of what’s going on. Your writer friend is delving deeply into the wells of emotion inside of them to pour out their hearts on the page. They are focused for a time, but that also means they’ll need a break. Time away from the characters in their heads and the plotlines that are twisting before their eyes. That’s where YOU come in. They’ll turn to you and, with that same focus it takes to write a novel, they’ll be there for you. Because a writer that cares about a little will care about a lot. They’ll want you to share your thoughts, fears, joys, and struggles with them.
Imaginative
Let’s face it. Writers just make things fun! You’ll be standing around in a group of friends talking about something and suddenly they’ll start talking about what will happen when the world ends or zombies invade or how their character got out of a tight spot in their current novel. Story-life and real-life are one in the same to writers and that makes conversation so much more interesting.
Loyal
Writers understand their friendships in a different way than most people. They see them as investments of time and emotion, not just as people to “hang out” with. Because a writer’s life can be filled with lots of alone time, their real-life friendships are extremely important to them. They may not like being in crowds of people or the center of attention, but they will be there for their friends no matter what. Just like struggles make their characters better, they know that difficult times will strengthen their friendships too. They won’t shy away from the hard things but will push through, staying loyal to their friends.
See? Writers really are the best type of friends to have!
Do you have a friend who’s a writer? Let them know you’re thankful for them today!

FRONT PORCH FELLOWSHIP – WISDOM – IT’S GOOD TO BE INDIE
The best laid plans of mice and men…
It’s called fellowship for a reason. It’s a relationship. It’s a connection, communication. Obedience is not just following a set of rules, or list of ingredients in a recipe. A sacred formula.
Relationships aren’t like that. Relationships ebb and flow, they expand and contract. Like breathing. Like the ocean.
They grow.
And we grow in a relationship by listening. Talking and sharing. And listening.
Without it, without listening, we cannot truly know another person, their heart, their soul. Without it, we cannot know the will of Father.
Oh, but when we do… When we listen, and hear Him, hear His voice, know His heart… It is music so sweet.
And when we’re in communion with one another, with Father, we can trust that our choices and decisions are in line with His, with each other.
But there are those times, those moments, we charge on ahead without counsel or instruction. And sometimes that can turn into disaster.
But sometimes… Sometimes those little inklings turn into gold. Sometimes those random moments beget unexpected advantage. Sometimes, those unexpected twists are wisdom in disguise.
And when we’ve made a decision that seems like it didn’t bring the results we thought, well, perhaps, it brings a better result than we imagined. Because maybe—maybe—Father God knew something we, well, I didn’t know. Because He knew I needed that down time, this past month of April to catch up.
But not my writing, not exactly. To catch up on me. On focus.
But it turns out, cutting back didn’t really afford me |all the time| I had anticipated for writing. Turns out, |all the time| actually stalled my Muse. No, no my Muse doesn’t stall out. My creativity is what stalled out because I was (and this is POW between my eyes) turning to myself to get the thing done. I unplugged from Him. And in unplugging from my Muse, from Holy Spirit, my creativity deflated.
I thought my plan was a good one. I thought if I put aside some of my other writing, namely interviews on the blog, that I’d have oh-so-much more time to devote to writing my stories. It was a good plan, it made good sense.
But what happened instead, was nothing happened. Or at least not what I had hoped would happen. The 50K I thought I’d write—I didn’t. At this writing (Friday night) I’ve just tipped 20K.
The best laid plans…
But Father knows. He always knows. He took my little plan and made something better out of it.
And the “good to be Indie?” I made an executive decision to push back my release dates! Because I can do that. Because I’m Indie… Because that’s what Father would have said if I’d stopped to listen in the first place.
And since I’ve done that, since I’m listening, I’m rockin-n- rollin the writing—both the blog AND the story.
Because that’s what communion is about. That’s what communication does. That’s what happens in relationship.
And that’s wisdom.

BLOGWORDS – 29 April 2017 – WRITING RECOVERY MODE
WRITING RECOVERY MODE
I’ve said it before. I’ve posted about it and blogged about it.
I DON’T GET SICK.
I really don’t.
This time though… Bronchitis steamrolled me, and it’s lingered for weeks. Ten if you’re counting. I did. I’m over the bronchitis now, but my writing suffered miserably. Already I have cut writing my own posts to devote that time to writing, well, my stories. Of all my features, interviews are the next most time intensive for me. I love them, enjoy getting to know other authors. Rather than going totally “dark” and for the sake of me – my health – interviews and recipes are on hiatus, through April at least. Otherwise, I’ll never get Seasons did in time!
To date, I have written roughly 20K words this month, and while not impossible, it’s a tall order to reach my goal of 50K in the next 8 days! YIKES! I also have to edit The Long Shadows of Summer to be ready for my editor, soooo…..
WRITING RECOVERY MODE will continue through May, although (perhaps) not so intensive.
That said, I had designated April as my personal writing challenge month, RemApWriMo, copied after NaNoWriMo. (thus the 50K word challenge.) The challenge continues.
In my defense, I had some obstacles to overcome that I’ve not faced in my precious writing. This story clips along at a speedy pace—all four stories take place (and will be released) within the span of a year. Unsavory did not on either count, and I had more time to get to know my characters. I had to stop and realign my who’s who for the new series (which saves time in the long run) and will have to do character sketches as well. I love these (fictional) people but they’re all talking so fast and all at once…
