Catherine Elbert has never been good at making decisions,
whether it was choosing an ice cream flavor as a small
child, or figuring out what she wanted to be when she grew
up. The only thing Catherine knew for sure was there had to
be more to life than being stuck on her family’s farm in
Wisconsin. While watching a PBS travel show, Catherine becomes
entranced by Portland, Maine. The ocean. The lobsters. The
rugged coast. Nothing could be more different from the
flat, nondescript farmlands of Burkesville. Despite her parents threatening to disown her and her
brothers taking bets on how many days until she comes home,
Catherine settles on Peaks Island, off the coast of
Portland. She is finally free. Or so she thought.

Re: Until My Soul Gets It Right
I belong to a book club but rarely read the books. I just go for lunch and
to hear what everyone is up to.

I can certainly relate to the ADHD. I didn't "discover" mine until about a year ago. But with me it was my brain no longer working and leaving me out in left field far too often. Am I a biliophile? Oh, definitely. Don't ask how many books I've read or got. But no, I'm not good at reading groups. Having to TALK about books has always been painful for me. I got miserable marks in all my literature assignments. So, sorry, no book clubs for me. I'd much rather talk (or write) about almost anything else, well...unless the book is about history, politics, language, geology, geography, humanity... I think you get the picture. But that doesn't mean I won't like your books!

I don't belong to a book club but spent many enjoyable hours discussing books with my mother from the 50s through the 90s. We often traded books and liked many of the same authors.
(Karen Barnett 5:05am September 30, 2012)
As a book club member, this series sounds wonderful!
Blessings,
Marjorie

I used to be in a book club but not right now. I just don't have time.
(Pam Howell 8:09am September 30, 2012)
I love your idea for the series, and would love to read your books!! It sounds like it's going to be a great way to spend the Fall!! I'm so glad that you had that revelation in the shower, and put pen to paper!! All of your characters sound wonderful in their own way, and I can't wait to see how they come to fruition!! I love the cover of the book being shown. I think that she's beautiful, and her pose is perfect!! Congratulations on the book, even though it's been out for a short time!! You now have a new reader who will be hooked on the series!!
(Peggy Roberson 10:39am September 30, 2012)
Sounds like a great book! Would like to read.
(Pamela Fox 10:40am September 30, 2012)
I try to start up book clubs all the time....I am in college
and I love to read but people around me don't have much
time. So the closest I get is when I find a new book I am
interested in, I buy two copies and send one to my sister.
We read it together and talk about it on the phone. She does
the same for me. We both are in college so during final and
midterms, it lags but other than that we get to read a lot
and share a lot.
(LaToya Tingle 10:41am September 30, 2012)
I don't belong to a book club, but I would love to. I wish I had people around me to discuss the books I'm reading.
(Ellie Wright 11:04am September 30, 2012)
I've never been in a book club - but this series intrigues me!
(Pamela Faye Howell 11:08am September 30, 2012)
I tried a book club several times but didn't stick with them. Guess I didn't find the right mix.
(P Noda 2:43pm September 30, 2012)
I DON'T BELONG TO A BOOK CLUB YET BUT I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ONE
SOON. LOVE TO READ ALL KINDS OF BOOKS.
(Shelly Caggiano 3:23pm September 30, 2012)
This sounds wonderful! Can't wait to read it!
(Amy Rogers 3:35pm September 30, 2012)
No, I don't belong to a book club!
(Martha Lawson 5:21pm September 30, 2012)
I'm not in a book club, but would love to be!! This series sounds great! I'm
definitely gonna check it out!!
(Kelli Jo Calvert 5:22pm September 30, 2012)
I don't belong to a book club but I do discuss & sometimes share books with my mom & every once in awhile me & my sister-in-law will share books.
(Chelsea Knestrick 6:09pm September 30, 2012)
i belong to a book club for about 15 years...we are all octogenariens...and although the members have diminished we all look forward to a once a month get together.
(Mal Kaplan 6:50pm September 30, 2012)
I have been in a book club for about 5 years and it is great because it makes us commit to a visit vs letting the time slip away :)
(Darci Paice 6:54pm September 30, 2012)
I belong to a book club. The worst thing is when you borrow a book from one of the members, you have to read the book otherwise, it is quite embarrassing not to know what you are talking about when asked.
I also found that it's fun to have a book discussion if I'm really into the book and also the hoopla and hype about a bestseller.
(Kai Wong 7:59pm September 30, 2012)
I don't belong to a book club but recently heard of one in my town. I thought I may check it out. Just today I told my husband I wish he would read my books so we could discuss them. He looked at me like I was nuts.lol
(Rita Wray 8:18pm September 30, 2012)
Due to time and work issues, I have been unable to physically participate in a
book club. However, I regularly attend book chats online and enjoy discussing
books with readers and writers alike.
(Mary McCoy 8:43pm September 30, 2012)
I'm so glad you "listened" to your dream! Looking forward to reading the adventures of your characters.
(Joanne Hicks 9:19pm September 30, 2012)
It sounds like a great series. I like the book club aspect.
(Maureen Emmons 9:54pm September 30, 2012)
I definitely have ADD. I get sidetracked very easily.
(Deidre Durance 10:02pm September 30, 2012)
Wonderful series. I belong to a book club.
(Sharon Berger 10:02pm September 30, 2012)
I'm not in a book club. I like to read what I want, when I want.
(Mary Preston 10:09pm September 30, 2012)
Not in a book club, read too much to settle for for only one genre
(Nancy Gallagher 10:52pm September 30, 2012)
I'm not in a book club but, have a friend that likes to discuss books.
(Sheila True 11:01pm September 30, 2012)
I am not in a book club but I love to read and have won some wonderful books and contests on freshfiction.com. Also, some day I pray that I can become a writer and share some great books and great writing material with others. God bless everyone. Thanks for the great contest. Cecilia CECE
(Cecilia Dunbar Hernandez 11:23pm September 30, 2012)
This sounds like the Maeve Binchy approach - take the characters in a setting and tell each one's story individually while showing how it affects the whole. It's a great way to develop lots of characters without getting people confused in a sequential single tale. Hope it goes well for you.
(Clare O'Beara 5:00am October 1, 2012)
These series sound very exciting. I do not have ADHD but my adult daughter does and I realized once she was diagnosed that she had had it from childhood. It has been a real battle for her. We both love to read and I will definitely get her reading this series too.
Thanks so much!
(Teresa Sullivan 3:40pm October 1, 2012)
I'm not in a book club, but I do enjoy discussing any very good book I've recently read and recommending it to other readers. There are so many newer authors and it's fun to discover another favorite through F.F. blogs, etc.
(Linda Luinstra 5:58pm October 1, 2012)
As a book club member, the perks include getting more of the behind the scenes action and background. Some book clubs are more social than the actual discussion of books and everybody brings something to the conversation whether they've read the whole book or not. This looks like a fun series and a unique concept.
(Alyson Widen 9:30pm October 1, 2012)
I would love to be in a book club, I just haven't found one to join. Your series sounds very good! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
