This week’s carnival is sponsored by
Gail Bishop is a headstrong, driven, single-minded businesswoman, a successful independent professional at only 29 years old. But she still feels empty. Eddie Chase is a fun-loving real-estate agent who made a mint in the boom market, now fast running out of money. And their friends set them up on a blind date, unaware that many years ago, they were once married to each other.
Now, both are taken aback by their feelings for each other at a romantic, seaside cottage on Ardor Point, and by the impact this will have on the rest of their lives. This long-languishing relationship that Gail thought was surely dead, could it hold the secret, the meaning of life that she’s looking for?
A heart-wrenching story of human kindness and love without strings.
From GoodReads and Amazon:
“Tim’s ability to throw in lines that struck a cord with my heart was wonderful.” (Linda Boulanger)
“… a sense of excitement when I remember that I’m in the middle of this story and can get into it whenever I have a chance to read again…” (Rebekah Labell)
Congratulations to last week’s winner, Ronnie of The Candy Shoppe. She won a copy ofLove Through the Eyes of an Idiot by J. Timothy King.

Author Interviews

Book Reviews
Jim Murdoch presents The White Road by Tania Hershman posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, “This collection, inspired by article is New Scientist, mixed short stories and flash pieces to good effect. Although science is what inspired many of the stories the author’s take on them is a very human one, a poet’s one. There are a good variety of stories too, some traditional, others simply wafer-thin slices of life. Some of the imagery is very powerful and although the stories are short they offer some profound insights and ask some awkward questions like: What exactly would you be willing to give up to adopt a child?”
