The Shadows Series  by Tina Pinson

The Civil War rages and Rebekah Montgomery fights to keep her world intact. But it's crumbling around her, taking those she loves, and if allowed, her dreams and sanity with it. Fleeing the war, she is determined to go Oregon to make a new life for herself and her son, Andrew, and her cousin, Caroline St. James, who has run away from home and wants to join Rebekah on the journey.  Their trip is curtailed when Rebekah tries to join the train in Independence, Missouri and is denied.
When Matthew Cavanaugh arrives with a proposal of marriage, in name only to help her west, he becomes the miracle she needs. She says yes, wishing their union could be real, but doubts he could truly love her once he learns her secret. Loving him as she does, she dreads the idea of letting him go once they reach Oregon.
Matthew has braved war and near death with one thought in mind… Rebekah. He proposes marriage so she can join the train and he can be close to her. And perhaps turn her heart to him. But his biggest battle might just lie ahead. Rebekah, his childhood friend, has built a wall between them and won’t let him in. He won her hand in marriage, and now he has a few short months to win her heart. The task might be easier if the trail and mishaps wouldn't keep tearing them apart.

Undiscovered Treasures (ebook)  by Carole Brown

Co-owner of Undiscovered Treasures, Caroline Gibson particularly relates to the ballerina music box: forever spinning and never going anywhere. But when her dream prince appears, she's sure her prayers have been answered. Trouble is, even though family and friends hint that the local artist is the guy for her, Caroline forgets about trusting God and takes matters into her own hands.

Andrew Carrington has loved Caroline since they were kids and knows he'll never measure up to what she wants. But when God—or is it?—suddenly sends contracts begging for his signature, Andy thinks this just might be the way to win the only woman he can ever love.

And then there’s the hitch in both their plans. Someone is stealing Andy’s pictures, and why would they do that when he’s an unknown--so far? Is something deeper going on neither understand? Caroline must put aside her on-going battle to avoid Andy and his art so they can discover the art thief in Appleton before Andy loses the chance of a life time to ‘make it big.’

Check it out on Amazon

Introducing Undiscovered Treasures

I'm tickled to announce that Undiscovered Treasures is a-l-m-o-s-t ready in entirety to order. This book is the third one on my Appleton, WV Romantic Mystery series. I hope you take the opportunity to check it out soon and enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.  (OPPORTUNITY to win a KINDLE copy below!) 


The Cover



The Blurb

Caroline Gibson is co-owner of Undiscovered Treasures, a shop of antiques, collectibles, and junk in rural West Virginia. Inside the shop is a music box that Caroline particularly relates to, believing that her own life is similar: forever spinning and never going anywhere. 
She dreams and prays for the right man to turn up. But when family and friends hint that the local artist could be the guy, Caroline forgets about trusting God and takes matters into her own hands. 
Besides, she could never love a man who paints such depressing pictures. 

Andrew Carrington, painter of said depressing pictures, insists there’s always one redeeming trait to each of his works. 
He’s loved Caroline since they were kids and thinks he’s not handsome enough, strong enough, or rich enough to impress this woman. But when God—or is it?—suddenly sends contracts begging for his signature, Andy thinks this just might be the way to win the only woman he can ever love.

But there’s a hitch in their plans. Someone is stealing Andy’s pictures, and why would they do that when he’s an unknown--so far? Do they know something Caroline and Andy don’t know? Is it mischief? Or something deeper that neither understand? Andy gets the chance to work with Caroline, and she must put aside her on-going battle to avoid Andy and his art so they can discover the art thief in Appleton before Andy loses the chance of a life time to ‘make it big.’




Available at Amazon Kindle here:

Interview With Caroline Gibson and Andy Carrington...from Undiscovered Treasures

I'm thrilled to introduce these two protagonists from the third book in the Appleton, West Virginia Romantic Mystery series: Undiscovered Treasures.
(Sabotaged Christmas, Book 1: (finalist in the Book Excellence Contest in Fiction), and
Knight in Shining Apron, Book 2.


Let's welcome these two that are featured in their own book!

Me: Caroline, let's start with you. Why do you  want to be known as Caro instead of your full name--Caroline?

 Caroline: Because it's much too prestigious for me. I'm not a beauty like Starli Cameron (Peterman-Blair) or sweet and gentle like Toni DeLuca-Douglas, both are my very best friends. I'm just me, freckles, big mouth and undistinguished hair. I talk too much when I'm nervous and ask too many questions. I often speak my mind, to my own detriment. But I do love my business Undiscovered Treasures and I love God. 

 Andy: Don't believe her. Let ME describe her: she's a talented playwright and seeing some success with her meaningful comedy plays. As she said, she co-owns Undiscovered Treasures, which is a thriving antique/collectibles and a little junk thrown in for full measure-business. She's a marvelous Youth Leader, and the young people adore her. She might not always have "dress sense," but she has a big smile and beautiful, expressive eyes. She's loyal to her friends, is caring and works hard for the underdogs of the town, and most everyone feels safe to confide in her. Most of all she's a faithful christian. She deserves to be called Caroline.



Me: Wow, that's some recommendation, Andy. Why did you decide to be an artist?

 Andy: I didn't actually decide in the normal way. I've always known I loved creating and thought at one time I might become a teacher, then later a designer. But as time went on, I came to accept that my true love was painting--in oils. From then on, I haven't looked back.

Caroline: He's really good, too! 



Me: I can imagine. Can either of you explain to us what mystery is going on in your book?

 Andy and Caroline speak together, then laugh. Andy speaks: Someone is stealing my paintings. Three of them, in fact. And one of a special painting I did was destroyed--slashed. 

 Me: Can't you tell us who it is?

 Caroline and Andy exchange amused glances, then Caroline speaks: Absolutely not. If you want to know, you'll have to read the book! :)



Me: That sounds like some good advice. Now, one final question:  I heard you both love the rain. Why? 

 Andy, laughing: I'll tell you what. The first one who gives the closest answer as to why we both love the rain, I'll coax our author to send you a kindle copy of the book. How does that sound?

 Caroline: Come on, Andy, give them another hint. 
Andy: Okay, but just one  word.

 Caroline: Romantic city.

 Andy: Hey, that's more than one word! 

 Caroline, smirking: I know. I want someone to guess the answer! Oh, by the way, I hope whoever wins enjoys the book so much, they write a review. Authors love that!

Me, laughing at them: Thank you, Andy, Caroline. 

 There you have it, Readers. Whoever can guess the answer to their question: rain, romantic city, and why they love the words, gets a free kindle copy of Undiscovered Threasures! 

 Thanks for joining us today!
