This is the time of year when we pause and give thanks for all we hold dear and I just want to take a moment to THANK each and every one of YOU who follow my blog. I pray your week is blessed and your Thanksgiving celebration the best it's ever been!
Today's guest is a friend and fellow Five Star author who shares with us something she treasures...
Time
for Thanksgiving by Jacqueline Seewald
Pam
has asked me to write about something I treasure. As we approach our national
Thanksgiving holiday, this seems particularly appropriate.
First
and foremost, I treasure my husband, my children and my grandchildren. I
treasure good health. I also treasure the fact that I am now able to be a
full-time writer.
In
novels, I write romantic mysteries and romances with a touch of mystery. I’ll
talk a bit about my most recent novels.

RISING, an adult paranormal romance from Luminosity, is available in All e-book

Stacy is an endearing character, a young woman who loves her parents but wants
the right to choose what to do with her life. Readers are drawn into Stacy's
world as she struggles to make the right choices which will affect her future.
This well-written coming-of-age novel is heartwarming and engaging and sure to

I believe it’s the kind of novel that
mothers will want to share with their daughters as it is an inspirational book
and a perfect gift for the Christmas holidays. Here is a brief excerpt from the
beginning of the book:
Chapter
One
When I was in junior high school, the boys used to call me
“Giraffe.” I hated it, but they were right. I towered over them. On top of
that, I had this skinny, long neck. Things got better when I became a sophomore
in high school. It seemed as though most of the boys in my class finally caught
up with me and I didn’t feel so gawky anymore. But I’m still taller and
skinnier than any of my friends.

Wow...I find it amazing when authors write across so many genres. I certainly wish Jacquie the best of God's blessings with these and her other books.
