Congratulations to Shirley Lang on winning the free paperback of Julie’s newest book, Walking on Sea Glass!

I’m thrilled to welcome my friend Julie to the Live Vi-Carrie-ously blog today.

Julie’s written several of my favorite novels and she just released a new one!

Tell us about Walking on Sea Glass, Julie.

 

 

Hi, Carrie ~

I’m excited about this story, which, though fiction, is loosely inspired by some true events. This is the first in a series of contemporary romances called Sea Glass Inn Novels.

Sounds great! I love beach stories. Can you give us a quick blurb about the story?

Falling in love could tear them apart …

Suddenly single, Liddy Buckle flees the desert to work at an up-and-coming seaside resort with her best friend, Meg. The breezy backdrop of an inn by the sea offers Liddy the dream of starting fresh, but soon she is shocked to discover another setback brewing in her life. Despite the battle that lies ahead, she finds herself drawn to Beau Quinn, a captivating widower with a wounded heart of his own.

As Beau and Liddy’s burgeoning relationship attempts to survive, will Liddy have the courage to trust a man again–especially one as emotionally fragile as Beau? Can Beau commit to a woman facing a challenging recovery? And what is going on behind the scenes at Sea Glass Inn, where late night deliveries and secret meetings are spoken about in whispers?

Set in a fictional California seaside town, Walking on Sea Glass weaves a romantic story of courage, faith, and the power of true love.

What are others saying about Walking on Sea Glass?

Our amazing mutual friend, Katie Cushman, said it’s:

“A poignant story of loss, overcoming, and finding joy along the way.” ~ Kathryn Cushman, author of Finding Me and Fading Starlight

I love Katie’s books, so I know Walking on Sea Glass is a special book, too.
