Shameless Promotion of Love Starts With Elle

By on July 1, 2008 in Uncategorized

Today on MyBookTherapy, Rachel Hauck will shamelessly promote her newest release, “Love Starts With Elle,” coming July 8, 2008 from Thomas Nelson. “Hauck is quickly making a name for herself as an insightful and thoughtful author. Elle is vulnerable, yet wise, and the romantic angle will leave you sighing with delight.” Melissa Parcel, Romantic Times Book Club, 4.5 Stars and Top Pick (whoo hoo, cheers and clapping.) Here’s a bit about the book.  (whoo hoo, cheers and clapping.) Elle’s living the dream – but is it her dream or his? Elle loves life in Beaufort, South Carolina – lazy summer days on the sand bar, coastal bonfires and dinner with friends sharing a lifetime of memories. And she’s found her niche as the owner of a successful art gallery too. […]

Make them fall in love!

By on June 26, 2008 in Uncategorized

(Note:  I thought I posted this on Tuesday, but it didn’t show up for some reason…so you’re getting it today. *g*) I spent the weekend driving again – to camp to drop off my sons this time. I saw my daughter looking cute and directing traffic (she’s working at camp for the summer), and stole a few moments with her and her girlfriend (delivering home-made cookies, of course!). The first thing out of her friends’ mouth was…. “I met a boy.” And then I saw it…that sparkle in her eyes, the glow in her expression, the way she hunched her shoulders and giggled. Oh…she met a BOY.
