1.
She
once co-founded a childcare center for children of homeless families.
2. She
isn’t a clothes horse except when it comes to pajamas. She likes soft and
pretty sleepwear.
3. She
once wrote a trunk novel about a couple stuck in an elevator and it was called
the “Hyperventilating Pants-Wetter Society.”
4. She
is afraid of live chickens.
She also has a brand-new novel coming out this week called “The
Shortest Way Home,” and if you leave
your email address in the comments, I will be delighted to pick an address at
random and send you the advance copy. Must enter before Monday at noon.
You likely know Juliette from her novel “Shelter Me” which
was a huge Target success, and she also has another novel, “Deep Down True.”
Juliette has been blessed by the cover Gods; and her novel “The Shortest Way”
is no exception. A German shepherd is looking longingly inside a lovely house,
and I can’t stop admiring it.
The novel is about Sean Doran, who is coming home to Massachusetts,
after having spend twenty years in third-world war zones and disaster areas.
There he deals with a steely aunt, a dramatic sister and a quirky nephew.
The Library Journal gave “The Shortest Way Home” a starred
review saying, ““Fay is one
of the best authors of women’s fiction, and her novels are not to be missed.”
Sounds like a good
one.
Sigh...My TBR list grows again!

Unfortunately, though it's the best title I ever came up with, it's the worst novel I ever wrote. Not likely to end up in bookstores any time soon. But you never know ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for this very nice post, Karin! And yes, it's true, I am afraid of chickens.
Love the cover and the premise. Can't wait to read. Congratulations on number three, Juliette!
