The Idea of Love

Can little white lies hurt? Ella and Hunter are about to find out if white lies can be overlooked in the grand scheme of things or if they are the tiny cracks that lead to fault lines in any sort of relationship.

Meet Hunter. Hunter is a nice looking man writing a book about small coastal towns. He chats with ladies, gets them to tell stories and then he moves on to another coastal town and repeats his ways.

Ella is a beautiful woman and when she meets Hunter, she starts talking to him and slowly reveals her story- a widow, husband dying in a tragic accident. Hunter is captivated- and not just because Ella is beautiful. Continue reading →

Interview with Lizzie Harwood, author of Xamnesia

author interviews

Hello! Lizzie Harwood is back today to talk about her new memoir, XAMNESIA! There is a Goodreads giveaway– ends June 23rd- so HURRY!

 

Interview with Lizzie Harwood about XAMNESIA:

Hi Lizzie- welcome back to Traveling With T!

Thanks for inviting me back! I love your site. Let’s travel…

Xamnesia is about your previous work and the world you found yourself in after accepting a job that required you to rub elbows with rich and famous (but to keep your lips zipped!) How surreal was it to be in a world like that- where money was no problem and most whims could be taken care of with a phone call?

Surreal is a good word. I think the self-containment of it comes across in my memoir – it was a world that operated apart from the real world and everything happened by phone or fax. We never emailed and hardly even went into stores. Things appeared. Continue reading →

A Good Killing

Anna Curtis is back in her hometown. With just a short time before what should have been her wedding day, Anna is back home to Michigan- a place she has not visited for years. Why is she back? Her baby sister needs her.

Jody has been accused of killing the local hero, the all around nice guy, the man of the town- Coach Owen Fowler. Anna is stunned- why would her sister be accused of this? How is she going to find the truth- since Jody is being evasive and the town is ready to run both Curtis women out on the first thing leaving! Anna has to use all her skills and knowledge about the law as she takes on her sister’s case- leaving her prosecutor chair behind and slipping into the defense chair. Because she knows her sister did not kill Coach Owen Fowler. Or does she?

With help from a former friend, Cooper Bolden, Anna sets out to find the truth about Jody, about who killed Owen and to stand her ground against the town.  Continue reading →

{Giveaway} The Idea of Love by Patti Callahan Henry

giveaway giveaway

It’s only been in the past 3 years that I began reading Patti Callahan Henry’s books- but it feels like I have been reading them all my life. My first one, AND THEN I FOUND YOU, was probably the more serious of the ones I’ve read of hers- considering that it was based on a factual family story. Then last year THE STORIES WE TELL kept me company as I relaxed with a cool drink. And, in June (June 23rd to be exact) it’ll be time for THE IDEA OF LOVE. Having already read it- it’s going to be the right book for the pool and beach- the perfect bit of fluff in your sunshine-day!

And thanks to Patti’s publicists- Traveling With T has a copy to give to a lucky reader! Continue reading →
