Today it’s my privilege to host a fellow
writer I’ve known for quite a long time via shared publisher, Five Star/Cengage.
Award-winning author, Pamela S. Thibodeaux is
the Co-Founder and a lifetime member of Bayou Writers Group in Lake Charles , Louisiana . Multi-published in romantic fiction as well
as creative non-fiction, her writing has been tagged as, “Inspirational
with an Edge!” ™ and reviewed as “steamier and grittier than
the typical Christian novel without decreasing the message.”
Pam is sharing
information about her romance novel TEMPERED HEARTS now available on audio.
Blurb: Rancher Craig Harris and veterinarian
Tamera Collins clash from the moment they meet.
Innocence is pitted against arrogance as tempers rise and passions
ignite to form a love as pure as the finest gold, fresh from the crucible and
as strong as steel. Thrown together amid
tragedy and unsated passion, Tamera and Craig share a strong attraction that
neither accepts as the first stages of love.
Torn between desire and dislike, they must make peace with their pasts
and God in order to open up to the love blossoming between them. It is a love that nothing can destroy when
they come to understand that only when hearts are tempered, minds are opened
and wills are softened can man discern the will of God for his life.
Excerpt:
Taking advantage
of the luxurious facilities, Tamera stood a long time in
the shower washing
away the grit and grime from traveling, as well as her other activities, then settled in the tub for a hot bath. She
saturated her thick locks
with conditioner, wrapped a moist, hot towel around
her head and relaxed
in scented, frothy water. Her vision blurred
as exhaustion numbed her senses and she sank lower in the tub. She awoke with a start
an hour later, shivering. She rose,
drained the water from
the tub and rinsed the conditioner out of her hair. Patting herself dry with
a thick, soft towel, she reached for the robe that hung on the door.
Wrapped in the warm terry cloth, she sat at the vanity and combed the tangles out of her mass of blonde hair.
She retrieved the blow dryer from her overnight
bag, and ran her fingers
through the thick tresses
while applying heat. When the chore was nearly complete,
she sprayed her hair with leave-in conditioner and brushed it. Tamera
closed her eyes and mentally counted the strokes as a memory emerged in her mind…he in his favorite
chair, she sitting
at her father’s feet while he brushed and counted one hundred strokes.
She heard his voice in her mind as she completed the task.
An everyday
routine she once thought of as soothing, a time of bonding,
she now considered a chore. Tamera blinked back tears, swallowed the lump
in her throat, put down the brush, and seriously
considered getting it all cut
off.

Good luck with your new novel, Pam.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Pam, nice to see you in another venue. This sounds like a good story and I love the "tempered" metaphor. His Love is like a Refining Fire.
