Release Day!

September 1 is a special day to me. It was the day my brother Joe married Sadie, the sister he brought home just for me! While I've been saying that for 60-some years, no one quite believes me. September is a colorful, hopeful time, and I wish that for you.

In the meantime, Shades of Green releases today. It's one of my favorite stories ever, and Cari and Zack are in the favorite couples list, too. It's the end of the Harper Loch Trilogy. I hope you like it.

Pastor Cari Newland’s life is stuck in the middle.

Her friends and parishioners at Harper Loch are mostly older than her thirty-three years… or they’re younger. While she likes being a single minister, she would also like to meet someone who sees her as someone besides “Preach.”

She gets hugged a lot, she realizes, but she never gets held. She’s never been the daughter her parents wanted or the woman her long-ago fiancé needed. Her life is good, but it’s lonely.

Enter handsome navy pilot Zack Grant. Visiting his parents at the lake, he attends a wedding Cari officiates. They talk and they dance and they are … interested. But Zack’s life is a thousand miles away and Cari’s life is firmly in Harper Loch. When interested begins to grow into something more, Cari and Zack must decide how to fit into each other’s world and whether or not they can make a long-distance romance work.

But Cari’s life is in the small lake community in Michigan. Zack’s is in the Florida Panhandle. And neither of them has any intention of changing locations.
