WHAT'S HOT IN INSPIRATIONAL SUSPENSE by Patricia Bradley

 Wondering what's HOT in Inspirational Suspense? Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn was released just last week! Check it out! 

Landry Hutton has spent three years rebuilding her life behind the secure gates of The Haven, an exclusive resort on the outskirts of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. After serving as the artist-in-residence, Landry is finally ready to settle in permanently to give her daughter, Eliza, a safe home in which to grow up.

Former Marine Callum Shaw always knew he would someday join his family's construction business in Gossamer Falls. He longs for a family of his own but has almost given up on that ever happening. The beautiful artist who has hired him to build her new house is funny, gifted, and everything Cal could ever want in a partner, but he vows to keep his distance. He's loved--and lost--someone like her before.

When Landry's pottery is destroyed in a suspicious fire, it becomes clear that Landry and Eliza are in grave danger--but from whom? Cal will have to risk his heart again if he has any hope of protecting them.

You can buy Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn at Baker Books or these other sites.

WE LOVE BOOKS!

Roxanne Rustand asks: has your life ever changed in an instant?

 

Have you ever thought back over how many times your life has seemingly taken an abrupt, random turn?  I don't mean the loss of a loved one, but a life-altering change all the same.

A late-night phone call. A piece of mail you didn't expect. A chance meeting.  A last-minute change of plans that led you down a very different path? 

Mine sure changed a few moments after a longtime boyfriend dumped me. We were at his veterinary school fraternity party, where he abruptly announced that he was moving on. Ouch. I was stunned, frozen in place. While in the throes of all the typical emotions of youth over a sudden and painful loss, a perfect stranger wandered over to me and struck up a conversation about--of all things--politics.  A very nice guy, though I wasn't interested in anyone at that moment!  

But then...we kept bumping into each other on campus, and in August, we'll have our 46th anniversary.  He'd been a perfect stranger, but turned out to be a perfect match.  God's hand was in that chance meeting, which had seemed just out of the blue!

FINAL WITNESS, the newest book in my inspirational romantic suspense series Montana Secrets, is out today. Emma has been in the Witness Protection program with her father since he witnessed a murder, but now he's been murdered. She is on the run to escape his killers and they are just closing in when she happens upon a rancher hauling horses to Montana. Is this sheer chance, or an answer to her desperate prayers? And will he protect her--or will he turn her in?

Easter memories, and a drawing for a free book! ....Roxanne Rustand

 I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Church came first, of course--online for me--but the rest of the weekend was spent with lots of cooking and enjoying time with the relatives who could come. The two December grandbabies came too, a boy and a girl. They'd never seen each other, and I don't think either knew what to think when confronted with another four-month-old baby. There were lots of wary expressions. 

While being posed with their moms for a photo, one little sweetie started to cry and the other immediately made a major frowny face and held a hand against her ear closest to him, to block the noise!  😊

I'm excited to share some news. 😀  I have a new book releasing on Friday! FINAL ESCAPE is the fourth of five books in my Montana Secrets inspirational romantic suspense series. Each book in the series can stand alone, so they can be read in any order.  

It's available now for pre-order!  CLICK HERE to find out more or to order!  Here's a quick blurb:

When you've run out of places to hide, what are your chances of survival?

Carrie Randall had hoped to escape her past and find a fresh start, after divorcing her abusive husband. But this small, remote mountain town is hiding dangerous secrets, and now someone is harassing her. Has her ex-husband tracked her down?

Or are the increasing threats related to the troubling rumors about her handsome new landlord?

Should she run yet again, or is it time to finally make a stand and take her chances?

Do you have a fun or memorable memory of a past Easter that you'd like to share?  Leave a comment, and you'll be in a drawing for a free Kindle e-copy of FINAL  REFUGE, the first book in the Montana Secrets series.

Blessings to you all,

Roxanne 

and the final book will be out on May 17th.

Final Pursuit, a new inspirational romantic suspense, and a drawing for a free book! ...Roxanne Rustand

 

It seems like time has flown since the last day of 2021.  

Since the mid-1990's I have marked the passage of the years in family events and book deadlines set and met, and time steadily marched on.   But boy, have I ever been distracted since the end of December, when our daughter and her husband had their first baby, and our son and his wife had their fourth.  Two grandbabies within a week!

So now, I live for the sound of text messages chiming into my phone, because it is so exciting to see new photos of these little ones. 💓   If only they both lived closer! But the immediacy of these texted photos and messages is a wonderful blessing compared to the old days--when new moms (like me) would have to send letters with photo duplicates enclosed or make long-distance phone calls on Sunday nights for a lower rate.

What memories do you have of how different so many things were just a few decades ago?

With all of the texting, calls, and trips to see these new members of the family, everything else has been on the back burner. So now I am trying to catch up.  Whew!

The first two titles in my Montana Secrets inspirational romantic suspense series were published last fall, and I'm happy to announce that the third book, FINAL PURSUIT, is now up on Amazon for pre-orders, and will be released March 14th.  

Each book can stand alone. It's free for the readers who use Kindle Unlimited, and it's at a bargain price right now for those who don't!  CLICK HERE to find out more. Why not take a peek?

All the best,

A New Book, A drawing, and a big question! Roxanne Rustand

 

Can you believe it's September 1st today?  It seemed like such a long, long summer given the excessive heat and drought here in the Midwest, and the ongoing pandemic.  My heart goes out to all of you who have been dealing with the terrible fires out west, hurricanes, severe storms, drought, and heat. How are you now? I pray you and your loved ones are all right.

First, I have a bit of news:  ONE MORE KISS is on sale for pre-orders right now and will release on September 10th. 

CLICK HERE  to purchase it for just $3.99,  or get it FREE if you use Kindle Unlimited!

Here's a quick description:

A disillusioned lawyer searching for a quiet life in a small town inadvertently ends up sharing his elderly aunt’s vacant house with a woman who has secrets to hide from her troubled past, a young daughter, and a menagerie of epic proportions. What could possibly go wrong?  Humor, romance...and a mystery!

Now, for my two questions. Leave comments and you will be in a drawing for a free e-copy of ONE MORE WISH.

1.  I'm excited about my upcoming series Montana Secrets, which will start in October. But I'm having a hard time deciding on the cover of the first book, FINAL REFUGE. It's an inspirational romantic suspense and I can't decide which of these cover art photos would be the best. Can you help? Which one makes you want to know more about the story? Which one would you pick up in a bookstore just to look at the back cover copy?

2. Have you found some new favorite authors?  Read any amazing new books lately? I'd love to hear about them!  

Blessings to you all,

Roxanne Rustand
