Can you believe it’s almost September?? Good grief – what happened to August?! It doesn’t seem like it should be time for school again, but it is. And since we’re approaching the end of the month, we’re also approaching another author interview and book giveaway!

On Aug.30-31 I’ll be hosting Lorna Seilstad, author of “Making Waves” (releasing September 1st!), and a fellow ACFW member. To whet your appetite, here’s a little bit about Ms. Seilstad’s new book:

When spunky Marguerite Westing discovers that her family will summer at Lake Manawa in 1895, she couldn’t be more thrilled. It is the perfect way to escape her agonizingly boring suitor, Roger Gordon. It’s also where she stumbles upon two new loves: sailing, and sailing instructor Trip Andrews. But this summer of fun turns to turmoil as her father’s gambling problems threaten to ruin the family forever. Will free-spirited Marguerite marry Roger to save her father’s name and fortune? Or will she follow her heart–even if it means abandoning the family she loves? Author Lorna Seilstad’s fresh and entertaining voice will whisk readers away to a breezy lakeside summer holiday. Full of sharp wit and blossoming romance, Making Waves is the first book in the LAKE MANAWA SUMMERS series.
