BLURB:
Ty
Garrett fell in love with Katy Fowler from the moment they'd met.
When her father’s betrayal yank the young couple apart, Ty becomes
bitter.
After
a decade away, Katy returns to Tidal Falls with plans to get married
in her family's theatre. But she hadn't expected to run into Ty
Garrett, the boy she'd never forgotten.
When
unseen forces endanger their lives, can Ty save Katy and win back her
love, or is it too late for these two star-crossed lovers?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt
On the
steps of the theatre stood an angel gilded in white and gold. Her
hair glittered like spun silk in the morning sun, while the filmy
white dress she wore made him think of all kinds of sin. For once in
his life, Ty Garrett was struck silent. He knew seeing Katy again
would be hard, he just hadn’t realized how cruel fate could be.
“Ty. I
should have guessed.”
He
hadn’t expected her to jump into his arms—though she’d seemed
quite happy to do just that with Jared—but would it kill her to at
least pretend she was glad to see him?
“You’re
late.”
Apparently
it would.
“Well
you know me, sugar. Laggard that I am, getting up before noon is
something of a stretch.” If she wanted to think the worst, he
didn’t mind playing along.
“It’s
been a long time, Ty. You look… older.” She brushed an
impenetrable glance over him, rubbing at already raw emotions.
“You
don’t. You look like the same spoiled teenage brat you were the
last time you stood on those stairs.”
No way
in hell was he going to admit seeing her again affected him. He’d
learned his lesson. Give her an inch, and she’d take a mile.
Katy
smiled—a Cheshire cat kind of smile—as though she knew anyway.

Bio and Links:
I
thought I’d share with you the beginning of my love affair with
writing.
Normally,
procrastination is my enemy. I like to get done whatever it is, as
soon as I can, so that I don’t have to worry about it any more.
In
school I worked hard to stay in the top ten every year. So when I
came down sick with the measles and missed two weeks of grade nine, I
was devastated. How was I ever going to catch up? I had less than a
week to write a compelling story for Language Arts or get a failing
mark.
Angry
and frustrated, I sat in our living room, pen and paper in hand,
staring at a bright yellow bouquet of cheerful looking daffodils. I
wanted to hurl them across the room. It wasn’t fair. Why was I
being punished for getting sick?
But then
an idea popped into my head. A silly, farcical story. If the teacher
wanted an essay, fine, I’d give him one. And so, Count Daffodil,
was born. After the first paragraph the words flowed quicker, I could
see the scene in my head and needed to get it down on paper. (Sound
familiar?) I spent the rest of the day writing, and by the end of the
night I had my story.
The next
day I turned it in and immediately felt ill all over again. It was
dumb. The teacher was going to hate it. I’d be a laughing stock.
Funny how easy you can build something up to catastrophic proportions
when you lack self-confidence.
We had
to wait two weeks for the results. I was on tenterhooks the entire
time. Sure that my mom would blow a gasket because I’d goofed
instead of giving it my best shot.
Then
came the big day.
I was
scared to look. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and turned to
the last page. These were my teacher’s words:
I’m
glad I didn’t read this at night. It’s been a while since I was
so enthralled with a story. Very professionally done. The suspense,
the ending, the style was excellent. I think I’ll read it to the
other classes. Very impressive.
Not only
did he read it to the other grade nines, he read it over the intercom
to the entire school!
Because
of Mr. Thomas and a hapless bouquet of sunny daffodils, a writer was
born.
Jacquie's
first book, Tidal Falls, a romantic suspense novel about second
chances, released September of 2014.
