The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson (with giveaway)

Synopsis:~

Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that’s what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon’s old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift–her grandfather’s run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Single Word Titles

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. I’m sneaking in a quick post while my international visitors – the wonderful Tamara Leigh and her son Max – explore a bit more of Melbourne sans tour guides! Love this week’s Top Ten topic! Well, what I love is single word titles. They are succinct, snappy, and often convey so much about the story in so few letters. I must prefer them to wordy titles, that’s for sure. Once again, I scanned my shelves and pulled some great titles to share with you, but I could …

If things are a bit quiet around here this week…

it’s because I have a visitor!

Yes, that’s the gorgeous and talented Tamara Leigh! She’s here. In Melbourne. With her dear son, Max. With me. And our dearest friend, Dorothy Adamek. I will post more exciting photos that one in the airport carpark, but we’ve been too busy chatting and catching up to remember photos. But yes, things may be a bit quiet here as I focus on the delight of spending time with Tam.

Back soon…..…

Cover Reveal: Things We Didn’t Say by Amy Lynn Green

I’ve worked with the delightful Amy Lynn Green for many years through her role as Bethany House’s Fiction Publicist and had the pleasure of meeting her in Nashville in 2016. It was a joy to talk all things books with a fellow literary lover like Amy. I also followed her blog for many years and her posts were always beautifully penned, humble, insightful, and provided the best kind of encouragement and challenge. As such, it came as no surprise when Amy announced she was contracted to write novels ~ she is a wordsmith at heart and I am so excited …

Alaska to Australia, with a few stops along the way…

When Alaskans meet Australians, there is too much fun to be had. This is a journal of our Alaska to Australia adventures.

Alaska to Australia, with a few stops along the way…

It was a whirlwind trip, but totally blessed from beginning until, well it hasn’t really ended because we made such good friends. Steve and Rel, their three lovely daughters, and even Sherlock, their four legged family member, made us feel so welcome that we felt like family. Of course, Rel and I have gotten to know each other for a while now. But, this trip made me feel …
