Release date for Cassie's Wedding Dress

Cassie's Wedding Dress releases on October 14th! I'm organising a blog blitz for that day and will put links up soon.

If it were a movie it'd star the two ppl below.

Eric Close from Without a Trace as Pastor Jack Chambers. Only with a Brit accent ;-)

Fiona Bruce, BBC newsreader, as Cassie Hinton.

Blurb:

Steeplechase jockey Cassie Hinton's dream was to walk down the aisle in her medieval wedding gown to become Mrs. Jack Chambers. Injured in the Grand National, she returns home...only to find Jack is now the Pastor of her parent's church.

Jack Chambers, now a widower and single parent, still has feelings for Cassie, but she sees him as nothing more than a Pastor. Even if he could change her mind, there is still his position to consider.

With the Royal Wedding fast approaching, Cassie makes her dress, little dreaming of the consequences of doing so.

Extract:

ā€œEveryone else has photos of the royal couple and ribbons, silver bells, hearts and balloons. I wanted something more sophisticated but thisā€¦ā€ she gestured at the window, ā€œā€¦isnā€™t it.ā€

ā€œMaybe tie it in with what Danny sells. After all, the bakers did a wedding cake and the printers did invitations.ā€

Cassie nodded, her mind whirling. ā€œYeahā€¦thank you.ā€

Jack glanced at his watch. ā€œIā€™d best be off and get Lara from school. She complains if Iā€™m late. I hope you find a solution to your problem.ā€

ā€œThank you. Bye.ā€ Cassie smiled and turned back to her display, watching Jackā€™s reflection in the glass as he walked away. Heā€™d always been a Godly man, even as a teenager, and despite everything that happened he kept his faithā€”unlike her. Her life and her faith lay in ruins.

She used to hope heā€™d ask her out one day, but it never happened. And now it never would. She was down and out before anything even got started.

He was a pastor, and she was his parishioner. A fallen- without- hope- of- redemption parishioner, at that. Strike one.

He was a widower with a small daughter. Strike two.

Her legā€”her disability. No man would ever want a one-legged ex-jockey. Strike three.

Phooey Kerflooey: Three Kids And A Puppy vs The Squirrel Of The Apocalypse by Kristen Joy Wilkes

Kristen says "Once upon a time, our family of three young boys welcomed a princess into our home. A furry princess, a princess who ended up weighing more than they did, was terrified of haybales and bags of chicken feed, and refused to drink out of anything but her own special mug. Our boys were charmed by their puppy princess and asked that I write a story based on her. It took me seven years, but finally I present to you  Phooey Kerflooey ! While our own boys delighted in Princess Leia Freyjaā€™s scaredy-cat antics and princess ways, the boys in the story take a bit longer to appreciate Phooeyā€™s gifts. However, I pray that you will enjoy their journey together as they battle the squirrel of the apocalypse and search for perfect peace amidst a storm of chaos. " And I loved this one. It's gone straight back into the TBR pile. A puppy will fix everything.  A boring new house?  Boring house + puppy = adventure!    An attacking squirrel?  Evil squirrel + puppy =...

She rejects their Christianity, fearing the tenets of the white manā€™s religion will prevent her from practicing as a Shawnee medicine woman.

At the discovery of his fellow missionaryā€™s long lost niece living among the Shawnee, Jeremiah is immediately smitten. But unless Ginny Red Fawn McLain joins Christā€™s foldā€”something she adamantly resistsā€”Jeremiah will have to choose between the woman he loves and the work God has called him to do.    G...
