Today we are facing a new normal. Life is hard for many people as they #social_distance in order to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus. They are out of work, worried about loved ones or are facing having to homeschool their children. So much anxiety and uncertainty. 

One of the things we truly believe in.. is the power of LOVE. Happy Endings do come to everyone and we know many authors write powerful stories about honor and love. Laurel Houck's latest release will have you swept away as you see how love is more powerful than time. Grab a copy for yourself today!

Blurb:
 Love dies with Abby’s father. The return of her mother after a twelve-year absence brings more grief. And the move to a dilapidated house along the Youghiogheny River bike trail is an exile.

When blond, blue-eyed Jack rides into Abby’s life, it’s like the sun has been restored to her world. Bit by bit, hints of a darker side to his personality appear. She struggles to deny them, even while her best friend, Morton, grows increasingly mistrustful of the handsome stranger.

Abby uncovers a mystery from the Civil War era in a nearby cemetery, which brings her only moments of peace. Cool caresses and the whispered call, “Abigail…“ send her digging into the past.

But as Jack’s motives become ever more unclear, the love Abby hoped for seems impossible. And leads her to a life or death choice. Will love be her salvation … or her demise?

EXCERPT:
​           Abby pondered the dilemma. As much as she had wanted Jack to like her, at the end of the day it had just been a stupid fantasy. Things had been getting better with Lisa. Shared meals, laughing at the same jokes, even working together to make Bikers’ Rest a success had jump-started the bonding process. Probably all mothers and daughters fought sometimes, but lately the bitterness of Lisa’s absence had faded. Now that relationship had been lost forever.
           Sudden longing filled her heart. Not for Jack, Lisa, or even her father. She yearned for Silas to be with her all the time. Strange that only with him did she feel whole. What did that mean? It meant that in some indescribable way, she had fallen in love with a ghost. What she felt for him was more real than any emotion she’d ever experienced.
            “Abigail.”
Abby caught a whiff of campfire and coffee. She turned, expectation making her heart pound. “Silas!”
            He stood at the end of her bed. The translucence had faded, his appearance as a living man fully restored. “Here I am.”
            “How did you know … that I wanted you?” Abby discarded all thoughts of this being anything other than what it was to her: someone she loved, here when needed.
            Silas smiled. “Me and you, we share one heart. Time don’t mean nothing in eternity. I just been waiting to love you.”

About the Author:
Laurel has been writing since the age of six, when Crawls the Caterpillar inched across her lined notebook paper propelled by a fat yellow pencil. She has published magazine and newspaper articles as well as blog posts with AllthewayYA, seapc.org, and on her website. Her portfolio includes multiple children’s stories from picture books, to Middle Grade, to Young Adult.  The Girl With Chameleon Eyes debuted with Inkspell Publishing in March of 2018.

In addition to writing, her passion is for travel to exotic locations around the globe. The people she meets, the places she visits, and the quirky way she looks at life all inspire her work. She loves complex characters and intricate plots that mesh into multifaceted books, melding romance, mystery, adventure, and history.

Laurel was a chosen participant at Better Books, a craft-based workshop near San Francisco. She is active in the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and has been a presenter at their Fall SCBWI Conference In Pittsburgh.
​
When she’s not deep into a writing project, Laurel is a medical missions’ nurse, traveling for Southeast Asia Prayer Center, Hope in Haiti, Caring Hearts, and Convoy of Hope. She lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband and their fur baby, Mable. All of that, plus she’s the world’s biggest fan of chocolate milkshakes and hugs.
