The Next Exciting Installment in the Last Chance County Series Is Coming!

Grief is a tough one, but add in someone out to get your wife’s best friend, and talk about a sucker punch.  Oh wait, maybe you’re falling for your wife’s best friend? Let’s just throw some guilt on there!

Laura Conaway chats with me about her debut novel, Expired Vows, and how she got started with Lisa Phillips and Sunrise Publishing. She also agrees with me that we need Last Chance Christmas, so readers… we need your support.  So, let’s all hound the publisher and pray.

Expired Vows by Laura Conaway

Fire. Family. Faith.

Last Chance Fire and Rescue

She sees the promise of freedom. He vowed to always be the hero.

EMT Trace Bently came back to Last Chance County to escape his past. After the loss of his wife, he gave up a promising career as a police officer for the chance to save lives every day as part of the Fire Department. When a hostage situation demands the help of a local counselor, Trace realizes the past he left behind has found him. He’s being given a second chance to save the life of someone he cares about.

If he can face the grief he buried.

Family Counselor Kelsey Scott has to secure this grant or admit failure. She can’t afford to lose any more pieces of the life she wants because of her own choices. When Kelsey becomes the target of a series of dangerous attacks, Trace steps in determined to protect his wife’s best friend. This hero breaks down all her resistance, but Kelsey can’t risk her own heart.

Even if it’s what will set them both free.

Another thrilling installment in the Last Chance Fire and Rescue series.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 502: A Chat with Kelli Galyean
byChautona Havig

I’m a sucker for a Christmas play novel, and second chances? Listen in to see why I’m eager for Kelli Galyean’s I Know the Feeling. #BecauseChristmas!

Don’t we all know someone who doesn’t know when to quit? The shock that comes the one time they could keep pushing… and don’t? Yeah that! OY!

I Know the Feeling by Kelli Galyean

They say timing is everything.

ER Nurse Maddie Reed is barely keeping her head above water at work. She certainly doesn’t have time to take over directing the children’s Christmas play at church. But when the director is put on bedrest at the last minute, Maddie can’t say no. The children are counting on her!

Maddie agrees to step up, prepared for the worst. Turns out “the worst” is worse than she thought. Her new assistant director is Chris Calvert, the most obnoxious man on the planet. To say they have history is an understatement.

Maddie braces for a disastrous month of pranks and shenanigans, but something about Chris is different. Working with him wasn’t supposed to be good, much less great. And when Maddie’s painful past shows up, Chris’ friendship proves steady again and again.

Maddie wrote Chris off a long time ago, but now she wonders. Is it possible to leave behind the old and let something new grow?

Learn more about Kelli on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads.
