Description Treehouse on Dog River Road by Catherine Drake


Twenty-eight-year-old Hannah Spencer wants nothing more than to change everything about her life.

After ten years of living in cities, Nathan Wild has just moved back home to Vermont and doesn’t want to change anything about his.

Recently laid off from her depressing job in Boston and ready for a challenge, Hannah heads to Vermont for the summer to take care of her sister’s kids and do some serious soul searching. There, against the stunning landscape of the Green Mountains, she embarks on an ambitious project: building a treehouse for her niece and nephew. As she hammers away, she formulates a plan to jump-start her life with a new job out West. But will Nathan-next-door complicate her desire to change course? A witty, romantic, and inspiring story of a young woman taking control and making tough choices about love and work to build the life she wants, The Treehouse on Dog River Road will have you rooting for Hannah every step of the way.

Thanks to Sabrina Kenoun of Sparkpoint Studio, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Sugar Birds by Grey Bostrom.

Description Sugar Birds by Grey Bostrom


Northwest Washington State, 1985

For years, Harris Hayes has taught his daughter, Aggie, the ways of the northern woods. So when her mother’s depression worsens, Harris shows the girl how to find and sketch the nests of wild birds as an antidote to sadness. Aggie is in a tree far overhead when her unpredictable mother spots her and forbids her to climb. Angry, the ten-year-old accidentally lights a tragic fire, then flees downriver. She lands her boat near untamed forest, where she hides among the trees and creatures she considers her only friends—determined to remain undiscovered.

A search party gathers by Aggie’s empty boat hours after Celia, fresh off the plane from Houston, arrives at her grandmother’s nearby farm. Hurting from her parents’ breakup, she also plans to run. But when she joins the hunt for Aggie, she meets two irresistible young men who compel her to stay. One is autistic; the other, dangerous.

Perfect for fans The Scent KeeperThe Snow Child, and The Great Alone, Sugar Birds immerses readers in a layered, evocative coming-of-age story set in the breathtaking natural world where characters encounter the mending power of forgiveness—for themselves and for those who have failed them.

“Sugar Birds is a powerful coming-of-age story . . .woven into a testament to the wondrous natural world . . . packed into one heart-pounding read. Highly recommended!”―Chanticleer Reviews

“Suspenseful. Lyrical. Redemptive. Bostrom’s voice reminds me of Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing and Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.”―Taryn R. Hutchison, award-winning author of One Degree of Freedom

Jenna Takes the Fall by A.R. TaylorJenna Takes the Fall by A.R. Taylor


Thanks to Keely Platte of Sparkpoint Studio, I am giving away one print copy of ‘Jenna Takes the Fall’ by A.R. Taylor.

Description Jenna Takes the Fall by A.R. Taylor


Twenty-four years old and newly employed in Manhattan, Jenna McCann agrees to place herself under the dead body of a wealthy, prominent New Yorker―her boss―to hide the identity of his real lover. But why?

Because she is half in love with him herself; because her only friend at Hull Industries asked her to; because she feared everyone around her; because she had no idea how this would spin out into her own, undeveloped life; because she had nothing and no one?

Or just because?

Deftly told and sharply observed, Jenna Takes the Fall is the story of someone who became infamous… before she became anybody at all.

Praise Jenna Takes the Fall by A.R. Taylor


“I am quite sure this going to be a really big book.”–Anne Stanton, cofounder and executive editor of National Writers Series and editorial director of Mission Point Press

“A delicious title filled with every kind of possibility. Yes, A.R. has opened with a page-turner. Established something sordid and so of eternal human interest.”–Robert A. B. Sawyer, poet and author of American Lullaby

“Jenna Takes the Fall is sharp, surprising, and highly funny. Jenna McCann is an ingenue only A.R. Taylor (and our batty society) could have created.”-Charlie Haas, author of the novel The Enthusiast, humor writer for The New Yorker, and prolific screenwriter
