Re: Where the Moon Shines Brightest
Sounds like an interesting read....It is a surprise to see a male author writing romance and I will certainly be picking up a copy...

Don't shoot me because I grew up in the North!! lol I love to read books that are considered memoirs. They touch me deeply, and this is going to be my first that's written from a man's perspective. I'm looking forward to reading it more than you realize. My Best Friend lives down South, so I'm already familiar with what life is like down there, but have no idea what it was like down there during that time. I'd like to not only compare it to life up North, but run a sort of parallel, if you follow me. Congratulations on your book, and I hope you have sales to the stratosphere!! It's on my TBR list, and is going to make my Summer reading complete!!

Yeah an area in Toronto.
(Marissa Yip-Young 5:39am July 31, 2015)
Yes, West Texas. I am from there and it was so clear.
The tooth pulling got to me; it had to have hurt.
(Leona Olson 8:24am July 31, 2015)
that sound like what my dad and grand fathers did pull the tooth out with pliers and then we go out and eat watermelon on the porch ilove those kind of storys

I so enjoyed your post and look forward to reading this
captivating story which interests me greatly for the setting
and the era. Yes, I do enjoy reading novels which depict the
locale accurately and well since it resonates with me. The
setting in a novel which captured the emotions, beauty,
striking uniqueness and was unforgettable was New Mexico.

Contemporary London. Description of the people's quirks, the
tube, the financial district were described so well it was as
if I were back there.
(G. Bisbjerg 1:57pm July 31, 2015)
I read Fern Michaels Kentucky series and have to description
of our Bluegrass state was spot on. Thanks for your great
interview.

I can relate to this book so much , it sounds so much like my childhood days with my brothers . We lived way out in the 'sticks' and roamed the woods for something to do .We came upon a real-life whiskey still once that was making whiskey and we started putting more wood on the fire . We heard a gunshot and a man hollered at us to get out of there and stop putting wood on the fire that it could blow-up . That really scared us and we took off back home . The things we did in those days would scare me to death now . I wont go into the woods anymore for fear of what I might find or see ,nor do I live out in the 'sticks' .I still live in Arkansas and love it here but I'm not as far back in the 'Sticks' as my childhood days .

Would love to read this book. Thanks for this giveaway .

Ever since I've been married, most of the traveling I did with my Husband was pretty much in my home State, since there is so much to do here!! We were campers in our younger days, so the trips we were able to take were mostly weekend jaunts. That being said, there was one book that touched me so deeply, that it actually haunts me to this day. It's called Roses by Leila Meacham. Even though it's around 500 pages or so, I did an all-night bender, just to finish the story, since I couldn't put the book down!! Since I connected more with the characters more than I did with the area, I believe that it took place in Texas, and that's one place that I've always wanted to see. There are certain areas that have always peaked my interest. Your writing has touched me as well, and I'm looking forward to reading your book. I'm hoping that when I'm through with it, I'll be able to get my Husband to read it. If not, there's a good friend of mine who's always looking for a good book to read, and of course I'll pass it on to her!! Congratulations on your latest book, which I'm sure will do well!!

Thank you all for your comments thus far. Please indulge
me as I contribute to your words collectively.
Marissa, I've never been to Toronto. I've been to three
other provinces but not to Ontario. I've heard Toronto
is a great city and I hope to visit one day.
Leona and Desiree,you probably know that's the way it was
back then. People did their own doctoring if they needed
to. Whenever my dad would tell me the story he always
grimaced from the memory. I just had to include it.
G. Bisbjerg, I agree with you. I've been to London on
business a couple of tines and the tube is a great place
to people watch.
Connie, I've been to the mountains of Eastern Kentucky to
visit family, but not the Bluegrass fields. I'd love to
see it one day.
Joan, you were a brave soul to venture up to a working
still. I agree with you about finding things to do in
the woods. Whenever I visited my grandparents in
Arkansas, my brother and cousins would spend hours
roaming the woods finding incredible things to occupy our
time. I think that's why I like being outdoors as much
as I can.
Peggy, I don't think I could do an all-night bender
anymore. I'd have to read Roses in chunks. I live in
Texas and there are many wonderful and beautiful things
to see in the state. It's amazing that Texas has five
different terrains from heavy forests, coastal beaches,
plains and deserts. I hope you can visit us some day,
just wait until it's not so hot!
Thank for your comments, ladies. I've enjoyed reading
them.

I really don't get to travel so that is why I see all these
places in books.

To Kill a Mockingbird, the country being childhood in a
small town setting.
(Deb Philippon 12:21pm August 2, 2015)
Most books I read are of locations I have not visited yet.
(Mary Preston 6:07am August 3, 2015)
Not a book but an album. It was describing my brother's senior year of high
school so well. It's a year that sticks in my mind. That fall it seemed like we
had half the football team over for supper before games.

looks really good! I have had a book that perfectly
described by family's farm in the middle of nowhere. Like
they had the trials, fences, parlor, and even had our
little cabin!
(Stefany Burroughs 1:06pm August 3, 2015)
I don't have to travel very far from home to locate places in books I've read. I'm always excited when a novel takes place in New Orleans, Lafayette and other places in south Louisiana. Once I was annoyed because an author used county instead of parish and seemed to have a sheriff in each town.
(Anna Speed 1:27pm August 3, 2015)
YOU ARE A NEW AUTHOR FOR ME
(Lorelei Frank 1:38pm August 3, 2015)
Yes I love to read books about my hometown Seattle. I always
have a critical eye to see if they convey every nuance right
and they usually do!
(Denise Austin 6:20pm August 3, 2015)
I look forward to reading some of your books. I love all kinds of fiction books.
(Elizabeth Deyoung 6:40pm August 3, 2015)
This sounds like a riveting and emotional read.
