I had meant to do a special giveaway or freebie on my birthday, but sick kiddos and general family chaos prevented it. (Priorities, y’all!) But now what seemed like a never-ending winter of illness has passed and we’ve finally reached the season of warm sunshine, lazy swinging hammocks, and hopefully some free time for reading.

So if you’re celebrating summer like me, and looking for a good beach read, you can pick up a copy of The Crowd FREE for the next 5 days! If you haven’t read it, now’s your chance! And if you have, please pass this on to anyone you think will enjoy the book as much as you did, or download the ebook for yourself if you only have the paperback.

And have a glorious summer!!

“Are there words to describe how much love I have for this book? Character-driven yet strongly plotted, this book ended way too soon. I laughed and cried my way through this amazing novel.”

Such kind words from author J.C. Buchanan! Be sure to check out her full review on her blog and check out her books on Amazon!

“I don’t even know where to begin. I loved this book so, so, so much. The plotline was clever, amazing and naturally felt realistic, and the romance was sooooooo sweet! It was a unique and beautiful story with great themes and the characters tying everything together. … I appreciated how the Christian message was hinted at, subtly, in the background, always guiding but never being shoved down the reader’s throat.”

I just stumbled across this wonderful review on Goodreads, from author J.C. Buchanan, and it brought such a huge smile to my face! Be sure to read the full review on her blog (and check out her books on Amazon)!

What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving week?

“Considering I had innumerable fangirl parties of one while reading The Journey, I think it’s safe to say that it’s one of, if not the best books I’ve read yet this year.”

How do you keep moving forward when the path you’re on comes to an end?

At nineteen years old, Ella Parker is a star on the rise. With her vocal training at Juilliard underway, she’s more than prepared for a glittering performance career with the rock band Wicked Youth, and anticipating the prospect of becoming engaged to her billionaire boyfriend… Someday.

But when she collapses on stage during a summer concert and receives a chilling diagnosis, the promise of someday suddenly slips away.

Forced to confront her darkest fears, Ella must not only find the courage to go on after her once certain future has disappeared, but also to track down her runaway friend, Lucas, before time runs out.

More intense and suspenseful than its predecessor, The Journey is an adventure brimming with romance, heartache, hope and grace in seasons of victory and – ultimately – bravery in moments of defeat.
