Amy dreads her white-knuckled commute. A new massage therapist at the Hotel Del Coronado, Amy Cantrell is thrilled to work at the luxurious resort, knowing it could open the right doors for her future as a physical therapist. There’s only one problem. The easiest way to get to the Del is over Coronado Bridge, and Amy is terrified of bridges. Josh Murphy is a Navy SEAL—and he’s not afraid of anything. When he finds Amy cowering on a bus seat praying her way across Coronado Bridge, his attempts to make light of the situation only make matters worse. Amy despises him, but Josh can’t understand why Amy is so afraid of an inanimate object. Despite reservations about getting involved because of his job, Josh sets out to help Amy overcome her fear. . .then confronts a surprising fear of his own.

Oh boy... what an interesting time you had... (Colleen Conklin 1:05pm October 3, 2014)
I loved reading your post, Michelle! What a journey. I had to laugh at the first question you were always asked: Where did you get my number? LOL And now to be stalked...er...'followed' on twitter. :D (Marcy Shuler 10:04pm October 3, 2014)
What a wonderful journey that you have. I love the fact that you use real life experience for your book. Looking forward to reading it. (Kai Wong 11:57pm October 3, 2014)
What a way to find information. Though the journey, I'm sure will make the book that much better to read. (Cindy Olp 12:08pm October 4, 2014)
Hmmm....life imitating art? Actually I finally authors research stories fascinating. I'm a school librarian and I teach research skills to children who think it dull, so when I can find a great back story about a book, it's fun to share. Not every story I come across is appropriate for the elementary crowd, but I have gotten hooked on back stories! (Marcia Berbeza 12:32pm October 4, 2014)
I wonder if your new follower is planning to read your book? (Jen Barnard 4:16am October 4, 2014)
I can understand their sense of secrecy, but because you weren't delving into operational information, and gave them a valid reason as to why you wanted to ask a few questions about them, without delving too deep, I don't know why they felt the need to pass the buck!! I'm sure even the Woman recruiter could have given you the information that you needed!! Now that you are a target of sorts, I hope that all of them purchase your book!! lol I know that I will have it on my TBR list, since a book like this will keep the blood flowing, and help keep me warm in this colder weather!! Of course, I'll still have to keep a mug of hot chocolate nearby, along with one of my 2 cats!! Congratulations on your book, and Thank you for going the extra mile for going through what you did to be absolutely accurate for your book!! Please thank your Husband for his service as well!! (Peggy Roberson 2:16pm October 4, 2014)
LOL. Had to laugh at all the round around you were getting. Thats nothing new in the military. I do understand there are things that cannot be discussed but goodness gracious, can it be even harder? Wait, its the military, it can. I look forward to reading. (Suzy F. 9:09pm October 4, 2014)
I love the premise for your story! I can imagine no one in the military wanting to share information. I am just surprised that they even passed you to the next person! (Sharlene Wegner 11:52pm October 4, 2014)
"Skulduggery" is such a great word. Fun post. (Mary Preston 3:41am October 5, 2014)
I can totally understand where the Navy seal is coming from, that mindset must be a tough one to penetrate! (Courtney Haas 11:44am October 5, 2014)
What a great title! My mom has always been afraid of bridges, something about one opening up when she's on it! (Maria Proctor 3:49pm October 5, 2014)
Sounds like a great book. I really like the cover and the title. (Denise Austin 5:25pm October 5, 2014)
sounds like a really good book! (Alison Mckearney 11:46pm October 5, 2014)
Thanks for all your comments.
The fear of bridges IS a big deal for many people. Even I get uneasy about crossing a bridge and I regularly cross the Golden Gate Bridge (will be going over it this morning).
Fortunately,gephyrophobia is treatable. A Navy wife friend many years ago was successfully treated and has no problem now. While the writing the book, I discovered a local organization in San Diego is contracted by the Navy to help soldiers and sailors deal with PTSD and other phobias that crop up, using the technology described in Bridging Two Hearts.
When I called to interview them, they had an entire program already set up to deal with the Coronado Bridge. Happy reading! (Michelle Ule 8:20am October 9, 2014)
As a army brat I totally understand "need to known" but what a great story on research! (Becca Westmoreland 11:15pm October 13, 2014)
