Congratulations to "Lynn B.", the winner in Jennifer's giveaway. Thank you to all who participated!

Whistle Stop is a fictional Southwestern town in New Mexico.
On the outskirts of Whistle Stop is a ghost town called Haggerty. It plays a
prominent part in the first book in the Whistle Stop series, A MOMENT ON THE LIPS. I
guess I’ve always had a fascination with ghost towns. Might have something to
do with seeing one in an episode of the Brady Bunch when I was a little kid.
;-) Anyway it was so much fun to do the research and imagine the breeze on my
face while walking down what used to be in the main street of Haggerty with a
couple of hitching posts off to the side as well as the remnants of an old
saloon. There’s even a bit of folklore that goes along with the town. But I
don’t want to spoil it for you. ;-)
The second book in the Whistle Stop series is A
MOMENT TO DANCE. In this book, there’s a mountain that provides
a breathtaking backdrop to Whistle Stop. Roca Mountain is fictional, but in the
story it is part of the Rocky Mountains. And it provides a very different
setting, one of Pinon trees and a bit of wildness. Ella, the heroine, has just
inherited her grandparents’ cabin and it is in desperate need of repair, but
first she must raise the money. One thing leads to another until she’s
partnered up with the fire chief for a dance contest ~ Dancing with the
Firefighters.

I hope you’ll visit Whistle Stop soon. Here’s the sign that
will welcome you on the way into town.
Excerpt from A MOMENT ON THE LIPS:
Behind them, a throat cleared.
So, where in the world had this stranger come from? And why hadn’t the
bell above the front door chimed upon his arrival? And then a horrid thought
struck her—had he overheard her mother’s lecture?
At last regaining her ability to speak, she said. “Welcome to Poppin’
Fresh. What can I get you?”
“That would be me. I’ll be right with you.” Piper turned back to her
mother.

Now it’s your turn—to be entered to
win a digital copy of A MOMENT ON THE LIPS, share your favorite thing about where you live…

Welcome to Autumn Fest...sweet treats, entertaining company, and a tender romance.
Piper Noble feels like she's going places. Her business, the Poppin' Fresh Bakery, is a culinary success story. Next on her to-do list is expanding the bakery into the vacant shop next door...and starting a new diet, like her mom keeps nagging her to. But when Joe Montoya steps into her life, her grand plans grind to a sudden halt.
Joe's taken a big risk returning to Whistle Stop. But with his disastrous marriage over, it's time for a fresh start, including opening a coffee shop...and coming to terms with his troubled past. Though his neighbor Piper looks like she'll be a big distraction in getting Fill-It-Up Joe off the ground--with her honeyed smile, curvy goodness, and her unflagging determination to grab his storefront.
However, when Piper and Joe are elected as co-chairs of a fundraising committee to help the town's revitalization project, the hostilities must cease. Joe's not sure about spending time with a woman who, one moment, reminds him of all the good things he's been missing, and the next minute drives him up a wall with her stubbornness. Meanwhile, Piper's looking for the way to this gorgeous but grouchy guy's heart--maybe serving him one of her fresh-from-the-oven pastries could be just the right start...

I love the fact that we rarely have snow or ice where I live. Which means I can enjoy a winter season and still travel safely. Thanks for the giveaway. jmvarner50@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Joan. You're welcome! :-) Not having snow on the roads is awesome!!! I enjoy the snow. I just wish it landed on the yards and left the sidewalks, driveways and roads clear. ;-) #dreamer

You're welcome, Jackie. So glad we met up. :-) I always wanted to write a ghost town story. I find them so exciting. So much history and a ghost story or two. ;-) I hope you get to visit Whistle Stop and the ghost town of Haggerty.
DeleteI love the weather from Fall through Spring!
ReplyDeleteHmm...does that include winter? I must admit that I enjoy winter. I love watching the snowflakes fall and it's a wonderful time to curl up with Writer Kitty and write. ;-)
DeleteI like that I get to experience all 4 seasons, and I like that I'm driving distance to lots of great places to see scenery or experience new things. :)

Well, I must admit that we don't have the best weather. #amjealous We have far too many cloudy days here. I'm guessing you get lots of sunshine. #enjoy
DeleteThis is a great series!
ReplyDeleteAngela, just thrilled that you're enjoying it. :-) Thanks for joining the party.
DeleteI have to say I absolutely loved going to this place the other night. The people that work these event spaces were trying to create an optimal dinner experience while making your choices their priority. I would definitely recommend this venue for any kind of fancy event.
ReplyDeleteHi. :-) So glad you had a great time.
