Girls Write Out

WHOOOHOOOO!!!!! It's been a year-and-a-half since my last baby arrived. My new "baby" came this week! My July release, "Hometown Courtship," with Love Inspired, that is. Here's the back cover copy:

"His matchmaking brother is sending another single gal Brad Sharp's way. Under the guise of community service! The Make a Home project--building houses for the needy--is Brad's life. He fully expects hair stylist Callie Easton to show up for "work" with a pink hammer and not even use it. Hardly a match for him!

With a heart of gold and a talent for transformation, Callie works hard. Still, Brad won't notice her. His grief over a tragic loss has hardened his heart. Well, Callie knows all about loss. And thanks to Brad, she knows even more about making a home--for them."

And here's an excerpt:

"Brad's gaze landed on her nails. He stared. And stared.
"Coral."
Callie's comment visibly jarred him.
"The polish." She wiggled her fingers. "You like it?"
With a blank stare, he said, "As you can see, we serve coffee and donuts here, so if you skip going to the bakery, you might actually get here on time."
Her happy day paled a bit.
"Is it the nail polish? Admittedly not a great color for me."
He said nothing.
"I'll skip my trip to the bakery in the morning," Callie said.
"So you'll be here by eight-thirty tomorrow morning, right? Noticeable edge to his voice there.
"Right."
"Good."
He then explained the program to her, but she didn't hear a word of it. She couldn't imagine how this rude, arrogant man was the same suave, debonair man she'd met at the bakery that morning. She couldn't believe she'd given up a perfectly good peach scone for this guy. 

It wouldn't happen again.


I will send a free copy of the book to ten people who would be willing to read the book and write a review for Amazon and Christianbook.com.  If you are interested, please send your snail mail address to diann@diannhunt.com.  I'll draw 10 names and if I pull your name, I will send you a confirmation email.

Thanks for your encouragement and support! You all are the greatest!

I still remember all your stories in Doc Hensley's class and thinking, "This gal's going to be special." And you are. You still write stories I want to read and you're still a gem of a person. I'm so proud of you.

Write on! I'm looking forward to reading this one, too.

Hugs, C
