ABOUT THE BOOK
When a renowned crime podcaster vanishes without a trace, former FBI behavioral analysts turned private investigators River Ryland and Tony St. Clair are called upon to track her down.

ABOUT THE BOOK
American horse trainer Adia Kensington is living her dream of working at the famous Janów Podlaski stables in Poland, where they breed the best Arabian horses in the world. But her plans to bring the priceless stallion Lubor to the US are derailed when the German army storms into her adopted country in 1939. Little does she know this is just the beginning of six long years of occupation that will threaten her beloved horses at every turn.
Bret Conway is at Janów Podlaski under the guise of a news reporter, but his true mission is intelligence gathering for the British. That and keeping Adia safe, which is harder and harder to do as she insists they must evacuate 250 horses to save them from being stolen, sold, or eaten by the invading forces. What follows will test their physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as their faith in God, humankind, and each other.
Drawn from true events of World War II, this epic story of escape, capture, resistance, and love from debut novelist Nicole M. Miller will thunder into your heart like a herd of beautiful horses across a raging river.

Duty Never Dies. We are partnering with Sunrise Publishing for a Fury Social Blitz celebrating the A Breed Apart Legacy series book 4 by Steffani Webb & Ronie Kendig ~ Rapid-Fire Fiction!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Amidst the glittering heat of Abu Dhabi, Hollyn Reinhardt’s world shatters in one tragic night. Once a child prodigy, now a leading AI scientist, she’s left reeling from her parents’ sudden death—and the haunting suspicion that it was no accident. Vulnerable yet defiant, Hollyn must protect her life’s work from unseen enemies.
Enter Davis Ledger: former Green Beret, owner of a keen-nosed military working dog named Fury, and the slightly older man whose rugged charm once captured Hollyn’s young heart. Medically discharged and disillusioned, he’s ready for peace in the US, but walks back into the line of fire when he discovers his friends have been murdered and that their daughter Hollyn—now all grown up—needs his help.
Following an attempt on her life, Hollyn realizes the USB containing her code has been stolen. Code that, in the wrong hands, could kill thousands. But Davis’s sable German shepherd, who has been specially trained to sniff out electronics, is the perfect dog to ensure this doesn’t end in disaster. They have no choice but to join up with a black ops group to protect Hollyn and hunt down the tech.
As they’re pursued by killers, Hollyn struggles to douse her reigniting crush, while Davis finds it harder and harder to deny his feelings and stay mission-focused. With the clock ticking down to an unthinkable catastrophe, Hollyn and Davis face the ultimate test. Can they thwart the threat and reclaim the code, or will their second chance at love end in heartbreak—or worse…disaster?

MORE RENDEZVOUS FAQs!

Q: Can I drive to Rendezvous?

A1: YES! We midwesterners are known for being a road-tripping bunch! Check out the second slide. If you live within the colored area, you can drive to the venue within 4 hours!

If you don't want to go to Chicago, consider attending because the venue is in Downers Grove (away from the city congestion). The fourth slide includes an example of area traffic information. Beth visited the venue, and she is a city-averse, small-town girl. If she can do it, you can do it 😉

If you want to go to Chicago, consider attending because the venue is close enough to visit by driving or riding mass transit.

A2: NO! If the venue is too far to drive, consider flying (or taking the train). Join the Rendezvous Roomies and Logistics Facebook group for tips and community collaboration!

Remember, more authors will be added as more readers register... 33 additional authors are ready to join the round-table event! Register in July to open the door to these additional authors. At the end of this month, these authors may need to make alternative plans.

GIVEAWAY! Can these star-crossed lovers find their way to happiness? We are partnering with Revell Fiction for a Her Part to Play Takeover Blitz and Giveaway celebrating this debut novel by Jenny Erlingsson!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Desperate for extra income after her mother's passing, Adanne accepts a last-minute job as a makeup artist for a movie filming in her small Alabama hometown. She's working to save her parents' legacy and help her brother, but the money hardly seems worth having to face the actor who got her fired from her last job in Hollywood.
John Pope has made his share of mistakes over the years. But after turning his life over to God and enduring a messy breakup, he's ready to start rebuilding his career. Imagine his surprise when the woman called in to cover for his usual makeup artist is a quiet but feisty newcomer on the set--and definitely not a fan.
Sparks of tension--and could that be attraction?--fly between them, but Adanne hates the spotlight, and John's scheming manager has bigger plans for him than to end up with the humble makeup girl from the small-town South. Can these star-crossed lovers find their way to happiness? Or will the bright lights of Hollywood blind their eyes to what's right in front of them?
Debut author Jenny Erlingsson's diverse cast comes alive with faith, romance, and a touch of humor to create a story worthy of the big screen.

GIVEAWAY
(1) winner will receive a print copy of the book and a $25 gift card to Bookshop.org! (see JustRead website for details)

A baby in danger, a man in turmoil, and a woman determined to save them both. We are partnering with Danielle Grandinetti for The Baby and the Guardian Social Blitz to celebrate this new release from the Christmas Cabin series!

PURCHASE https://daniellegrandinetti.com/danielles-books/christmas-cabin-series/the-baby-and-the-guardian/

ABOUT THE BOOK
A baby in danger, a man in turmoil, and a woman determined to save them both.
Wisconsin, 1929—When her best friend is murdered, Eira Mae Pryce gains guardianship over her friend’s baby. A baby in danger. Charged with the child’s protection, she must outrun a snowstorm, her grief, and a killer to seek refuge with the man who saved her life last Christmas.
All ex-sheriff Casper Yarwood wants for Christmas is to be left alone. With failure ringing in his ears, he retreated to his family’s cabin in the densely wooded portion of his former jurisdiction. But when his uncle’s secretary–and the woman he believes he failed–arrives on his doorstep with an endangered child, Casper cannot turn them away.
Casper and Eira Mae face impossible odds that require facing their pasts, sacrificing their futures, and ignoring their growing feelings for one another. But they’ll do so if it means they keep their charge alive long enough to experience his first Christmas.
One cabin in the Northwoods … a decade of Christmas miracles.

Young heroes attempt to stamp out an evil Erlking’s magical music spells. We are partnering with Dawn Ford for a Mossycoat Social Blitz, celebrating book 2 of the Band of Unlikely Heroes from ScrivKids (Scrivenings Press)

PURCHASE https://scriveningspress.com/book/mossycoat/

ABOUT THE BOOK
Troll Princess Horra Fyd may have succeeded in getting the druid seed to the magical Weald forest in time to sprout, but she’s finding that getting her kingdom back in order is not as easy as she hoped. Oddar’s subjects are rebelling and trolls are mysteriously disappearing without a trace. Horra and her father King Divitri are at a loss on what’s happening, but they know who’s behind it all.
When Horra’s summoned back to the Weald to meet Rowan, the new druid warrior, she finds the woodgoblin a know-it-all stick in the mud. Rowan’s not impressed with the troll princess, either. However, after a suspicious magical fire destroys the Weald, they’re forced to rely on each other to venture out in a kingdom that’s becoming more dangerous by the day.
Will Horra and Rowan be able to set their differences aside to become a strong team? Or will they fall into the Erlking’s traps, stopping their mission before it even gets started?
