"And they all lived happily ever after" for about two minutes. Welcome to my imagination's playhouse. Far horizons beckon, upward limits grow fuzzy.
Addere cochlearium in omnia mentis,
est intelligendum amphorarum numero,
et sextam partem oephi et sudore.
(Into everything, add a spoonful of intellect,
an ounce of understanding, and a gallon of sweat.)
--H. Linn Murphy
With a heart harder than any ruby, Bernadette abandons her stepchildren to a life on the streets of London. Sarah and Josiah are forced to make their living by dragging flotsam from the banks of the Thames to sell for food. Sarah cares for several street urchins, while her young brother goes to work for a gang, cleaning chimneys and acting as a paid mourner-both covers for a theft ring.
Handsome law clerk Andrew Witherwood seems to be Sarah's champion, despite the fact that Bernadette has retained his services. When rumors of the ruby resurface, greedy treasure hunters will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Kidnapping, theft, betrayal, and murder are all on the table. Sarah must find someone she can trust before it's too late.
When champion barrel racer Tamsin Tucker is seriously injured at a rodeo, her whole world crashes around her. She is abandoned in a tiny Utah town, where her leg is amputated to save her life. Tamsin's horse is gone, she has no family, and she feels God has forsaken her. Prospects are bleak.
Through what she later realizes is divine intervention, Tamsin finds friendship with her nurse, Sarah, and Travis Mayfield, the handsome doctor who saves her life. Sarah has her own problems, but a faith that Tamsin can't deny. Travis has ghosts of his own and must learn to trust in God as well.
Getting on her feet isn't going to be easy for Tamsin. But with a newfound purpose, the help of friends, a man who adores her, and the matchless love of her Heavenly Father, she will forge a new life.

Cool. You always were an intelligent guy...:o)
DeleteI'm not sure why you can't comment on that blog. I'll look into it.
As for the Ireland trip, it's funny that you mention it. I'd already come up with an idea I think could work. I'm going to put this out there: I'll make a list of people who pay me a dollar (more if they want to) and those people will be included on a special blog that I'll post movies from the Ireland trip as often as I can. They'll sort of get to come along. I want to do a few off-the-beaten path kinds of things. Lisa, my sister, wants to help me do research and to find one of our relatives' parents. It'll be interesting seeing if this will work how I want it to. I think my mom's bus ladies won't want to be there long enough for me to do decent research for my medieval warfare book (and several other kinds of books. This trip has to COUNT).
I haven't really figured out what I want to put on this page yet. Maybe the contemplative stuff. Maybe links to my other blog, which is an even bigger secret...rofl.
ReplyDeleteThanks for caring enough to explore. I'll have to make it worth your while. There shall be grand prizes. Ah yes, trips to Bad Wolf Bay or something...rofl
In fact, because you've been such an intrepid explorer, D, if you'd like to beta read my book A TERRIBLE MAJESTY, I can send you an unpublished version. It's probably my least girlie book, although there is still a female lead to go with the male lead. It's military sci fi. Personally I'd love to see it as a movie. Anywho, if you want a copy, email me at kwixylver AT cox.net.
