I'm Thrilled To Announce...

Brynwood Needleworks - Joy Harding's Debut Book

 my friend, Julie ("Joy Harding" is her nom de plume) is now a published writer! 

Over a year ago, she approached me, asking if I would be a beta reader of the manuscript for this book. Of course, I (and her other beta readers) agreed to keep what we read top secret - and we were all honored to do so. Thus began my process of reading, not only for the enjoyment, but to proof, take notes, and offer my insights to help make her book even better.

 

I'll share the preview of the storyline from Joy's back cover:

 

"Trauma surgeon and co-founder of the Boundary Waters Search and Rescue Unit, 

Jack Lockwood was beyond frustrated...

 

A century blizzard, impassable roads, and gale force winds start Jack's Monday off 

the wrong way long before daybreak. To make matters worse, his friend and 

colleague - police chief of Ely, Minnesota - orders him to stay home on a morning 

when the weather virtually guarantees injuries requiring Jack's skills. Little did he

 realize that he wouldn't need to go anywhere to save a life that morning. His next 

rescue would be in his own front yard, where he finds a half-forzen, gravely injured 

woman buried in a snowdrift. A woman who needs his help to stay alive long enough 

to tell her story - why she was out in this kind of weather - bound, battered and bleeding."

Are you intrigued? I can tell you it's a wonderful read - and there are already two more in the series that I and her other beta readers have proofed. In fact, Book Two should be published in October! My dear friend has been busy!

Boundary Waters Search and Rescue: Beyond Belief

I received a box containing my copies (hardcover and paperback) in the mail today!!! (Imagine the thrill of not only knowing and loving the author, but being honored with a mention in her book dedication - along with her other readers). Julie also included promotional bookmarks, and a Joy Harding canvas tote. I think this is so exciting, and I couldn't wait to crow about my friend, and tell you about her first published work.

If you're interested in purchasing your own copy of a 290 page story of love, loss, and redemption that's fast-paced and action-packed, you can purchase your own copy on Amazon HERE.  If you'd like to learn more, you can visit Joy Harding's website and blog HERE.

 

Congratulations, my dear friend. I'm so excited for you.

Thank you for asking me to be a part of your wonderful journey.

I'm beyond honored.
