Free Book Friday: On the Shelves! | Chickens in the Road

It’s OUT! Secrets Rising is on the shelves! So cool. And yes, of course, since I always have my camera with me, I took this shot at my local Wal-Mart. What about you? Seen Secrets Rising out in your town? Isn’t my baby pretty? It still looks very red. But whatever. It’s MY BOOK!
:rockon:

I got this note from reader Debbie Dunn yesterday (and she gave me permission to use it). This is the kind of thing that MAKES MY DAY!!

Dearest Suzanne!!!

WOW! I love, love, love the new Haven story ‘Secrets Rising’. The sexy Jake *which happens to be my nickname* was just *sigh*. And Keely was so unasuming. I love it when a heartbroken, thinks she doesn’t deserve anything good…girl ends up with the best of everything.

Can hardly wait until the next one! btw…If you have a copy of the next one just lying around…You could send it on to me! LOL!

PAX was a keeper and now so will Haven be.

Debbie

Is that the nicest note or what? (Thank you, Debbie!) I still remember being a little girl, 12 years old, reading my first Harlequin Romance and thinking, this is what I want to do, I want to write romance novels. And I do! For Harlequin! And PEOPLE READ THEM! (Most amazing!)

Dreams do come true. :flying:

Did you have a childhood wish, a dream of what your life would be, what you would do, where you would live, anything? Did your dream come true? I wanna know! This weekend, I still have one more June Silhouette Romantic Suspense release to give away–Mob Mistress by Sheri Whitefeather. (Winner announced Monday.) Drop a note to be in the running! Have a great weekend!

I wanted to be a mother and a wife – I grew up in the 40s and 50s – and the mother part worked out just fine. I’ve been divorced for many years but have 3 wonderful boys, 7 grandkids and almost 3 greatgrands.

I love to be able to help people and what better profession that a nurse is there to do that. Congrats on your book Suzanne!!!!!!!! I loved it. Can’t wait for the 2nd to come out to find out what happens next in Haven WV. :thumbsup: Hope everyone has a great weekend.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher. But while getting my BA, I found out that when presenting to the class, I have stage fright that reduces me to a quivering lump of pure chicken. So I switched from ed to lit, and now I’m getting a masters of library sciences – being surrounded by books is the next best thing, aside from writing my own stories. And I’m living my personal dreams with dh and my kids.

What an awesome fan letter, Suzanne!

Congrats on the book. It looks awesome. What a great note from Debbie.

My dream was to be a great wife and mother. I have a wonderful hubby of 28 years and three awesome kids and the first grandbaby due in December! My dream came true.

Congratulations on the release! And the note writer was correct, the book is fabulous with characters that draw you in and make you care for them.

My dream from when I was young, was to be a Mom and wife and have someone I loved that loved me too. Got them all.
Have a fantastic weekend!

Congratulations on your book. I will check out my local bookstore on Monday.

My mom couldn’t afford to travel so my dream was to take her places she only read about. So far I’ve taken her on two cruises (Canada and Mexico).

My fondest childhood dream came true with my hubby. The others I’m still working on, but that’s half the fun!

Congratulations on your release!!

I dreamed of being a stewardess. I dont know why, because today, I can’t imagine having that job. It doesn’t look like much fun. I hate to travel alone and much prefer to be on solid ground in my house.

I haven’t seen your baby in my town yet, but we don’t have a Wal Mart. I’m sure it’ll show up.

Thank you Suzanne! You reminded me of that dream. I got the bug when I was 12 also, reading in bed with my grandma. I wanted to write a Harlequin someday. Well, first, I wanted to meet some of the fabulous authors I loved (which I have!).
