Pretty is as Pretty Does

Class Reunion Series - Book #1

Picture





Priscilla Slater goes to her ten-year high school reunion with equal parts dread and eager anticipation. Even though she’s a successful owner of a chain of hair salons and no longer has the mousy brown hair, crooked teeth, and discount-store wardrobe, she still feels like the ugly duckling. But when she arrives at the reunion, Priscilla soon realizes that her old classmates aren’t exactly as she remembers them. With humor and a just a touch of sassiness, Priscilla finds herself facing her own truth—and she may be surprised at what she discovers.








Bless Her Heart
Class Reunion Series - Book #2

Picture


As Priscilla Slater’s 15-year class reunion approaches, she decides to attend out of curiosity… and to flaunt her latest achievement—taking her business to a national level with the possibility of a TV show. As if getting ready for the event and putting up with the pranks of her former classmates isn’t enough, Pricilla’s hometown visit is further complicated by her parents’ separation. 


With the once-solid sanctuary of her home broken at the foundation, there’s only one thing Priscilla’s parents can agree on: no matter what sort of accolades their daughter receives as a hair stylist, she’s not living up to her potential. Eager to escape the painful reality of her childhood home, Priscilla bolts as soon as a call from New York brings good news: her offer to purchase one of the best salons in the country is likely to come through. But returning to New York means returning to Tim, Priscilla’s best friend and business pal who has been impatiently suggesting their relationship should be more than a friendship. Despite her recent achievements, will Priscilla learn that success doesn’t always result in popularity—or love?

Tickled Pink
Class Reunion Series - Book #3

Picture


Priscilla Slater shows up at her 20-year reunion as a national celebrity. Her hair salon dynasty has skyrocketed, and to top it off, she has her own line of hair products. She has become a huge success with the “Ms. Prissy Big Hair” line that lets women with the thinnest of locks get the coveted “big hair” look so popular in the South. Her classmates have finally come to terms with adulthood, but they’re handling it with the grace of a Southern woman wearing white after Labor Day. It’s just downright awkward! 



Asserting the maturity that her classmates have often lacked, Priscilla holds her head high. But she can’t ignore everything. When she catches her mother in the arms of her former high school principal, Priscilla can’t get out of town fast enough. Eager to get back to her more comfortable life, Priscilla runs head on into an ultimatum: Tim tells her they’re not getting any younger—as if she has to be reminded.

First book in the 
Bloomfield Series with authors Debby Mayne, Gail Sattler, Kathi Macias, and Martha Rogers

Picture
Garden Club vice-president Shirley Butler has never moved out of her family home, and she still works at the same card shop where she started her first job after high school. She is so resistant to change, in fact, that she never married Theo, the only man she ever loved. Her dad was an alcoholic, and her mother worked herself to death trying to keep the family from crumbling, so she felt that she had a right to be reluctant to jump into anything. After years of trying to convince her to marry him, Theo finally moved away and married someone else, leaving Shirley wading around in the aftermath of what might have been.

Brad Henderson, one of the guys she went to school with asks her out, but she turns him down, thinking it wouldn’t be fair to him since it would obviously be a rebound for her. He says he’s always wanted to get to know her better, and she needs to at least give him a chance.

With all that emotional baggage, will these two stubborn people ever get together? Well, if Naomi McCord, Murray the parrot, and the rest of the Bloomfield Garden Club members have anything to do about it they will.

Sweet Baklava

Picture


After years of looking for a place to belong, Paula Andrews finally finds her niche in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Her soap and candle shop flourishes, and her friendship with the Papadopoulos family gives her the love and support she never got from her own family. 

The only thing missing is a romance—or in the grand hopes of the Papadopoulos family, a proper marriage. Preferably with Nick, their favorite son, currently serving in the Air Force. Paula, however, has doubts. After all, he’s been gone a long time and loves flying. Their lives have grown apart. Would he still feel anything for her? 

When Nick comes home on leave, sparks fly, and not just with Paula. Nick's father wants him home, helping with the family sponge-diving business. His mother wants him back in the family, back in church. Nick just wants Paula . . . and the Air Force. 

So who’s going to give in first? And what will it mean for their love and future?

Today’s Christian women are busy. They’re wives, moms and businesswomen. They juggle families, careers, responsibilities and harried schedules. They look after the best interests of others, but have little time for themselves. Be Still...and Let Your Nail Polish Dry is a devotional designed for today’s busy women—women who need a moment to relax, refresh and think about their own spiritual well-being. With contemporary, upbeat, humorous devotions from beloved authors Andrea Boeshaar, Sandie Bricker, Debby Mayne and Loree Lough, women will renew their spirits and grow closer to God in the time it takes to paint a set of fingernails.
