 Gay with Mindy I am very pleased to introduce Gay N. Lewis, author of the Sarah series, a must have series for anyone who loves books filled with romance, laughter, and that just leave you with a smile on your face when finished. So, without further ado, here’s Gay and Sarah, and make sure to keep reading to find out about the newest release, upcoming novellas, and comment for a chance at free Amazon download of Sarah’s first adventure. Thank you Kim for inviting me to your site.   From time to time, people ask me how the Sarah series came about. I didn’t plan a sequence, but the idea of Sarah has been with me for decades and finally came to life in 2012.   After the first book, I decided Sarah should help others, so I wrote a sequence.   Four books now tell of Sarah’s adventures, and two more are on the way.   How did you get the idea for Sarah?   Several years ago, I read This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti and loved it.   Th...

Those who know me or have followed me for very long know that I drag my feet when it comes to taking a technological step.   I was one of those writers and readers who vowed I would never read anything other than a bound book that I could hold in my hands and manually turn those paper pages. But, some of the newer authors aren’t always stocked in bookstores and the price of a Kindle book is often cheap enough that I don’t mind inching away from my top handful of authors and giving a new writer a chance and I was missing out on all the free Kindle books I saw being promoted. So, rather than jumping in with both feet, I decided to take baby steps and downloaded Amazon’s free Kindle App for my computer.   I was amazed at how easy and enjoyable it was, and now free books were just a click away.   Soon my confidence grew and I must confess I got a Kindle and now read most of my books on this wonderful device. So, if you’re on the fence about digital books, the free Kindle App...

Falling Like a Rock is the newest release from contemporary romance author, Bonnie McCune. Please continue reading for a tiny taste of her latest novel. Enjoy! Unloved and unemployed. That’s Elaine Svoboda, after she’s sacked, then flees across country to her boyfriend who drops her flat. Teetering on the abyss of disaster, she calls an old friend who invites her to a tiny mountain town with fresh prospects. There she meets rugged, hunky Joe Richter-Leon, mayor of Falling Rock. Maybe he can help her find a job. Maybe they can become friends, even share romance. Sparks fly immediately, but major obstacles make a new life on the ashes of the old appear impossible. Joe’s consumed with challenges like the dismal local economy and an impetuous sister. Elaine butts heads with him at every turn in the rocky road. Is the problem her bungling attempts to help? Or does she remind him of a greedy, selfish ex-wife? Before they can build a new life on the ashes of the old, she must overcom...

She scanned the area and noted that she was still very close to the edge of the ravine. Niki could feel the big horse quiver beneath her and tense, ready to spring at the slightest provocation. She gripped Storm’s sides with her legs and grasped the saddle horn. One man pulled a pistol out of its holster. She doubted he intended to shoot her yet—instant death would be too quick, easy and preferable.   I hope you enjoy the adventure.
