There is nothing quite like having a new book release. No matter how many times an author experiences it, each time is like the first time.
My newest novel, Things Left Unspoken (the first in a line of Southern Fiction from Baker Publishing), is soon to be released. I know because the author copy landed in my anxious little paws just two days ago. I've danced around the living room enough times to qualify for Dancing With the Stars. :) Or, So You Think You Can Dance.
Product Description: Jo-Lynn Hunter is at a crossroads in life when her great-aunt Stella insists that she return home to restore the old family house in sleepy Cottonwood, Georgia. Seeing the project as the perfect excuse for some therapeutic time away from her self-absorbed husband and his snobby Atlanta friends, Jo-Lynn longs to get her teeth into a noteworthy and satisfying project. But things are not what they seem, both in the house and within the complex history of her family. Was her great-grandfather the pillar of the community she thought he was? What is Aunt Stella hiding? And will Jo-Lynn's marriage survive the renovation? Jo-Lynn isn't sure she wants to know the truth--but sometimes the truth has a way of making itself known. The past comes alive in this well-written and thoughtful novel full of secrets, drama, and family with a hint of Southern drawl.
