Blurb for Warning Signs by Katy Lee:
GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT
When a drug-smuggling ring rocks a small coastal town, the DEA sends Agent Owen Matthews to shut it down. A single father with a deaf son, Owen senses that the town’s number one suspect—the high school’s new principal—doesn’t fit the profile. Miriam Hunter hoped to shrug off the stigma of her hearing impairment when she returned to Stepping Stones, Maine. But her recurring nightmares dredge up old memories that could prove her innocence—and uncover the truth behind a decades-old murder. Yet Owen’s help may not be enough when someone decides to keep Miriam silenced—permanently.

RT Magazine Review:
4 ½ Stars – “Miriam is a strong character who is not held back by what others may perceive as a weakness. Acceptance is a key theme as Lee dispels some misconceptions regarding people with hearing impairments.”

Blurb for When the Clouds Roll By by Myra Johnson:
Annemarie Kendall is overjoyed when the armistice is signed and the Great War comes to an end. Her fiancé, Lieutenant Gilbert Ballard, is coming home, and though he is wounded, she is excited to start their life together. But when he arrives, her dreams are dashed when she learns Gilbert is suffering from headaches, depression, and an addiction to pain killers. This is not the man she had planned to marry.
After serving in the trenches, Army Chaplain Samuel Vickary is barely holding onto his faith. Putting up a brave front as he ministers to the injured soldiers at the hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas, he befriends Gilbert and eventually falls for Annemarie. While Annemarie tries to sort out her confused feelings about the two men in her life, she witnesses firsthand the bitterness and hurt they both hold within. Whom will she choose? Will she have the courage to follow her heart and become the woman God intended her to be? As the world emerges from the shadow of war, Annemarie clings to her faith as she wonders if her future holds the hope, happiness, and love for which she so desperately longs.
Another two books that look like fabulous reading.

Katy Lee and Myra Johnson are new authors to me and I so appreciate finding out about them. Both of these books sound so good. When the Clouds Roll By really appeals to me. I think there will be some heart strings pulling going on in that one! Thank you so much for what you do and the opportunity to be a winner.

Thank you, for hosting me and my book WARNING SINGS today.
God’s blessings to you,
Katy Lee
Again you share some excellent new authors and novels with us, Margaret. I enjoy reading books about those with health challenges who go on to live as normal lives as possible and I enjoy historical romances set during or post civil war. Thanks for this opportunity to win either of these books!
Please enter me for the drawing for Warning Signs by Katy Lee. I already own When the Clouds Roll By, although I have not had the pleasure of reading it yet. I am looking forward to doing so.
I forgot to include my email in the comments.
