Saving Gracie Front CoverBio for Kristen Ethridge:
 
The writing bug bit Kristen Ethridge around the time she first held a pencil. She especially enjoys crafting stories of happily ever after combined with God’s love–the greatest happily ever after. Although she loves creating characters, Kristen’s favorite people are her family. She lives in Texas with her husband, children and two self-important poodles. Visit her online atwww.kristenethridge.com, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/KristenEthridgeBooks or on Twitter @kristenethridge.
 
Blurb for Saving Grace by Kristen Ethridge:
Love is a Universal Language
Running an ESL school is hard work, but helping immigrants has always been a dream of Gracie Garcia’s. When her school is threatened by real-estate developer Jake Peoples, Gracie hopes that getting him to attend a class will change his mind. But a lesson in love was something neither one signed up for. Learning about Gracie’s work reminds Jake what family is really about. But just as he’s starting to come around, a revelation about his past threatens his future with Gracie. When things look their bleakest, can Jake save her dream…and his place in her heart?

Blurb for That Summer by Jo Huddleston:

An inspirational Southern historical novel

The Great Depression brings devastation to the Southern Appalachians but love’s triangle survives.

To escape his poppa’s physical abuse and their dirt-poor farm life, Jim flees to an imagined prosperous city life where he can make his own choices, ignoring God patiently knocking on his heart’s door. Settled in town, Jim strays from God and the way of faith his momma taught him. He meets a girl and loses his heart … and meets another girl and loses his willpower. Jim wrestles with social and moral dilemmas as he makes a choice beside Caney Creek that will alter the lives of five people.

That Summer is Book #1 in the Caney Creek Series. Book #2 is scheduled to release in April 2013 and Book #3 is scheduled to release in September 2013. Follow the Callaway family through all three books. Live their triumphs, sorrows, achievements, and losses. Walk along with them as they meet faith challenges and fight to regain a rightful place in God’s plan.

That Summer is available in paperback and eBook online at AmazonBarnes&NobleChristianbook.com, and publisher’s website. Any bookstore can order the book for you.

Blurb for Unconditional by Tanya Eavenson:

He will fight for her at any cost…
Elizabeth Roberts can’t remember her past, and the present is too painful. She turns to nightclubs and drinking to forget her infant daughter’s death, her husband’s affair.

When his wife’s coma wiped out the memory of their marriage, Chris Roberts found comfort elsewhere. He can’t erase his betrayal, but with God’s help he’s determined to fight for Elizabeth at any cost.

She wants to forget. He wants to save his marriage. Can they trust God with their future and find a love that’s unconditional?
