STT Book Birthdays!

Since August is our birthday month, we thought we'd mix it up a little bit and share the Book Birthdays of those on our Stitches Thru Time community. As it turns out, we have several! Won't you help us celebrate the birth of these wonderful new titles?

July 25th release - Under Fire by Linda Shenton Matchett

Small-town journalist Ruth Brown's sister Jane is pronounced dead after a boating accident in the Spring of 1942. Because Jane's body is missing, Ruth is convinced her sister is still alive. A series of events and discoveries raise Ruth's suspicions about Jane's work at the local manufacturing plant, then additional clues send Ruth to war-torn London. By the time their brother contacts her with the devastating news that Jane's body has been found, and evidence suggests she was murdered, Ruth has stumbled on black marketers, resistance fighters, and the IRA-all of whom may want her dead.

Coming the End of August - Wheresoever They May Be by Terri Wangard

Coming September 1 - Solve by Christmas by Amber Schamel (Pre-order now for some awesome bonuses!)

When sabotage threatens the Rudin Sugar Factory, Detective Jasper Hollock believes this will be his first real case. But dear Mr. Rudin—the only father Jasper has ever known—holds a different assignment for his private investigator.

“I’ve struck a deal with God, Jasper, and you’re my angel.”

Mr. Rudin charges Jasper to build a “case” of reasons for his employer to continue his life. If he fails, Mr. Rudin will end it in suicide on Christmas night.

As the incidents at the factory become life threatening, Jasper’s attempts at dissuading Mr. Rudin prove futile, and Jasper is left staring at the stark reality of his own soul. Time is ticking. Jasper must solve both cases by Christmas before Mr. Rudin, the company, and Jasper’s faith, are dragged to perdition. Will this be the Christmas Jasper truly discovers what makes life worth living?

Coming September 6 - A Groom for Mama by Catherine Castle

A sweet romantic comedy with a touch of drama.  Follow Catherine on her blog to keep updated on the release!


We need a song. "Happy Book Birthday to you, happy book birthday to you!"

I'm singing here, and it sounds suspiciously like the "Happy un-birthday to you" from Alice in Wonderland. Somebody help me out.

AND to celebrate all these amazing Book Birthdays, I'm giving away one Advanced Reader copy of Solve by Christmas! That means you will get your hands on it before the public. What do ya say to that? ;)

Return to the Misty Shore By Bonnie Leon

In the spring of 1885, Luba Engstrom meets Nicholas Matroona, a strong, brooding Native from the island of Unalaska. Against her parents’ wishes, she elopes, believing love will be enough to bridge the gap between the civilized world of Juneau and the primitive culture of Nicholas’s small village. After all, before Luba was born, her mother lived on a wild Alaskan island until she was forced to leave when a tsunami destroyed her people. But from the moment Luba arrives at Nicholas’s home, she struggles to adapt and learn the village ways. 
Will the conflict between her husband’s belief in ancient gods and her faith in Jesus Christ the Redeemer destroy Luba and Nicholas’s relationship? 

Return to the Misty Shore—the third book in the Northern Lights series.
