Are You Eager for This Thrilling, Suspenseful New Series?

I know I am. Look, I wanted to know more about the book, yes. I mean, Alaska? Suspense?  Bring it on. Especially say in… oh…JULY. That’s when I like to read about Alaska!  However, if you like atmospheric reads for the season you’re in, Cold Light of Day is a perfect read for February!  All the chilly feels!  Grab a cup of something hot and a cozy blanket and settle into the fictional town of Shadow Gap, Alaska.

Look, I’m in love with this place, okay?  Who wouldn’t be? It has a diner called the… What? Silly Moose? Sleepy Moose?  Crazy Moose?  Or something like that? And there’s a bar… the Rabid Racoon!  I mean, come on! I don’t frequent bars, but if this town existed and I happened to go there, I’d step inside just so I could say I did. #BecauseCoolName.

Elizabeth got the series name from a podcast she listened to (Missing in Alaska… never heard of it, but now I’m curious!), and Revell has even set up a whole WEBSITE for it.  There you can find a great preorder deal on Cold Light of Day from Baker Book House (or order from Amazon!) and submit your order number for cool freebies like digital wallpapers, gift tags, and STICKERS! Actual stickers! How cool is that? I need to go get mine!) Oh… one more thing. At the 40% off with free shipping, that makes the paperback cheaper than the eBook. Just sayin’!

Cold Light of Day GoddardCold Light of Day by Elizabeth Goddard

Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.

Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are–to disappear–when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he’s not sure even Autumn could save him.

As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.

Episode 491: A Chat with Tasha Hackett
byChautona Havig

Looking for a cozy holiday read, Tasha Tackett’s got you covered. Listen in while we talk about her Holidays in Hadley Springs series. Don’t know about you, but Planning for Nickie sounds delightful.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

EEEP! I had a blast chatting with Tasha about her Hadley Springs series. I’m thinking we need to urge her to go on to do more than just major holidays. What about National Donut Day or Beach Reads Day (that’s a thing, right? If not, maybe she can make it one!)

Planning for Nickie by Tasha Hackett

“Fifty-three weeks is plenty of time to find a wife. One week to plan, fifty-two to execute.”

Career-obsessed Mark is history. From now on, my heart is open and ready for a family. No more fifth wheel. No more working alone through dinner in restaurant booths.

Solo Mark is out. Family man is in. As with every challenge, I’ve divided the task into a step-by-step process. While on holiday in Hadley Springs, Nebraska, I drafted the twelve-month plan. I included a detailed description of what I’m looking for and a spreadsheet for the expected timeline. Project: Find-A-Wife will commence as soon as I return home to Phoenix.

It’s all well and good until I join my cousins on a blizzard walk for a few donuts.

Who knew a chance encounter with a scrubs-wearing, sweet-smiling, schedule-wrecking woman would derail my life so efficiently? To Do: 1. Drink coffee 2. Review the plan 3. Find a wife ***

If you loved the Carol Award-winning novel, Waiting for Gilbert (Holidays in Hadley Springs, Book 1), get ready to fall in love all over again in Hadley Springs, Nebraska.

What's it about?
When protectors become targets, no one is safe.
Mark created The Agency to shield the innocent—but now an unknown foe fights to assume command. As shadowy threats tighten around Mark and his team, danger erupts on every front: terrorists at sea, betrayal within their ranks, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead.
While a Caribbean cruise turns deadly and secrets unravel in the agency’s halls, one shocking betrayal proves the enemy is closer than anyone imagined. Mark faces the fight of his life—not just for the future of his organization, but for the people he loves most. As faith and romance grow amid the fallout of shattered dreams, the stakes rise higher than ever.
The countdown to the series finale has begun… and survival is anything but guaranteed.

Love books inspired by other books. All the Jane Austen ones, the C. S. Lewis ones I mentioned,  and then those in the Very Bookish Thanksgiving collection I shared. So many more. I even have a character obsessed with all things Anne Shirley out of love for Montgomery's books.
