Rainy Days
When the Burgert family moves to Seattle in 1852, Kathryn is convinced her father has destroyed her life. The backwoods settlement offers none of the comforts and culture she loves in San Francisco. She cares nothing for the new sawmill the townsfolk are so excited about. That is, until she meets Jason, a lumberjack with dreams for a bright future. As she comes to know Jason, Kathryn can’t help catching his vision.
But the future they hope for is anything but secure. There are some who see Seattle as a threat and will stop at nothing to make sure the sawmill fails. With the harsh and rugged weather, at times it seems even the land itself is determined to thwart Seattle’s very existence. Kathryn and Jason’s plans for a happy future become entwined with Seattle’s struggle to survive in the midst of adversity, both manmade and natural.

I love the tv sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond”. The writers manage to hit almost everyone household problem and make it funny but poignant. I watch at least an episode a night.
What novel are you working on now?
Very excited to be starting my Sugar Maple Series! Book One takes place in Wisconsin and the setting involves cranberries! And two very lovable hero and heroine who struggle to keep their minds on work instead of each other!
Thanks Lori

I would love for Lori to send me back to Hong Kong, China. 15 hours on a plane would be so much better if I were sitting in First Class instead of Economy.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love the cover of your book Lori. And, the story sounds very interesting. Yoy mentioned how many places you could go if you were a Travel Agent. I thought they could only make plans for others to travel to those far away places. I would love to go to Wales and Ireland where my Ancestors were from. I would sure love to win your book. Please add my name. Maxie

I always dream of traveling. But how can a person choose just one place to visit? I want to see: England, Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, Paris, Texas, Israel, and Switerland. An extravagant dream I know but it can’t hurt to dream.
