It's my honor to be the first up on the calendar for this year's ECFL Hot Summer Reads Blog Tour. Each week, on Wednesday, one of our authors will be in the spotlight, showcasing on their blog up to 3 of their own novels. We'll let you know a bit about each book and why it's a "hot summer read." You'll have plenty of great novels for beach reading or taking on vacation - or to read while you're relaxing in your own yard. Without further ado, here are my offerings:Title: CELTIC CROSS
Genre: Inspirational Historical Romance
Blurb:
Sometimes you have to forget who you to become who you should be.
Shot...bleeding...barely concious...she's dying! A stranger arrives on the Donovan ranch one breath away from dead. Matt Donovan doesn't hesitate to help, despite the risk that the man who shot her may come riding down the trail, shattering peaceful Glenpark, Colorado. When Cristeen wakes, she remembers nothing of her past. One thought haunts her day and night - trust no one. Matt fears Cristeen's independence will lead to tragedy. Can he help Cristeen see the need to trust the Lord before it's too late? Can Cristeen overcome her belief that loving only brings heartache?
What makes this a "Hot" Summer Read?
Fast-paced Western action, well-researched historical setting, and compelling characters - you'll be immersed in the story as if you're right there with Cristeen and Matt.

Ah! Tammy! Three elements I love -- historical, western, and romance. I HAVE to get your books on my TBR list. The covers are gorgeous and they sound like great stories. Blessings~
ReplyDeleteThanks, Naomi :D I love the covers, too. When you read the books, let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking covers, Tammy! Congratulations on the success of your titles!
ReplyDeleteYour stories sound interesting, and I must echo the fact that I love the covers. Continued success on your books.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that the Latham series is doing so well. You must be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone, for visiting my blog and for the compliments!
ReplyDeleteHey, Blondie...your covers are gorgeous. And of course you're a terrific writer!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nike. That's means a lot coming from you - both compliments. Your covers are beautiful also. And your writing skill is fantastic :D Can't wait to be showcasing you (July 18th - right after PERILOUS SHADOWS releases!!)
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful covers. I could swear I have one of your books on my shelf. I need to dig it out because I love reading about this time period.
ReplyDeleteI have had your books on my TBR list for sometime. I am going to purpose to get at leastone and read it soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle and Tracy. I would be thrilled to have either (or both!) of you read my novels. I know how those TBR lists are, though - always growing longer and longer while our book budget gets smaller and smaller.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I'm of Scott/irish descent, the symbolism you use is of interest to me. I will have to read the books though to find out how the title ties in. TBR list. And I agree, beautiful covers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the books, Anita. In "Celtic Cross" there's not a whole lot of symbolism per se. The heroine, Cristeen, wears a Celtic Cross pendant necklace. However, there's plenty of Irish in the mix! In "Claddaugh" I write about what the Claddaugh represents (friendship, love,loyalty). And in "Celtic Knot," the plot is just a twisted knot!
DeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteYour books sound really interesting. And, as everyone else has said, those covers are exquisite!

DeleteI agree with everyone else. Your covers are awesome! The books sound really great. I look forward to reading them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hallee! I look forward to hearing how you like them when you do read them :-)
