Author Interview

I was asked to take part in an author interview with Fiona McVie at Authors Interviews.  You can find out all kind of things about me from the answers I gave to her questions.  It was quite indepth.  I fully enjoyed the experience .  Authors Interviews

Book Three in Paperback

I am finally able to announce that the paperback edition of the third book in The White Pine Trilogy is available. The Kindred Spirit Bed & Breakfast will tie all three books together in a way you have not yet imagined. This book is much longer than the other two and therefore you will see a price difference which has been determined by Amazon (even though they have not yet gotten around to changing the estimated page numbers of 160 to 368 actual pages.) If you are a 'real' book reader and have been waiting to complete my series, have at it! Let me know what you think by leaving a review at Amazon. 

Thank you, Jane O'

Book One is Free!

Hurry,  If you haven't started to read this series, start The White Pine Trilogy right here with \Book 1.  The Tangled Roots of Bent Pine Lodge is free this weekend only !  Try it out and see if you want to continue on with this family tree.  Find out how all the characters are related, while reading about several romances along the way.  I'm sure you're going to love it.     Jane O

Book 2 Goes for a Visit

The Dunes & Don'ts Antiques Emporium, #2 in The White Pine Trilogy went to Muskegon, Michigan to visit an actual dune.  It snuggled into the dune grass to hide from the strong wind that day. 

How lucky I am to live near one of the greatest bodies of water on Earth, Lake Michigan.  Did you know that it is the only lake of the five Great Lakes to be totally surrounded by the United States?  

Facts:

 1.  It's 22,384 square miles

 2.  It's 307 miles long

 3.  It's 923 feet deep at its deepest point

 4.  It is 118.1 miles wide (no, you cannot see Milwaukee from Muskegon)

Lake Michigan is bordered not only by Michigan, but also Indiana. Illinois, and Wisconsin.

 5.  It is sometimes referred to as The Third Coast of the United Stated, after the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

6.  The dunes found on its eastern shore is the largest freshwater dune system in the world.

7.  In several places the dunes rise several hundred feet above the surface of the Lake.
9. The water is clear and cold, usually between 55 and 80 degrees, but because of the westerly winds the water's surface is moved toward Michigan and the lake at the shoreline can be quite warm in the hot summer months.

And guess what else?  No Salt, No Sharks!  No that's something to brag about.

There, now you know a little about Michigan, and why I love to write about it.  Jane O

Book 3 of The White Pine Trilogy

At last, I have something new to tell you.  The third book of The White Pine Trilogy has just been released for Kindle. The paperback will be ready later this month.  It's called The Kindred Spirit Bed & Breakfast.  I'm so excited for you to read about a new location in Michigan and at the same time see how the three books tie together in this family tree saga.

You'll find new faces and a new location, but the romance is still sweet, and the mysteries of the past will be revealed once again.  I hope you like it.  My editors tell me it's the best of the three!  Jane O

The Tangled Roots Travels

Winter is over and now we're into those days that can't seem to make up their mind whether they want to be spring or not.  One day we had 70 degrees; then a few days later it snowed again -- in April!!!  But that's Michigan for you.

We're all anxious to get outside, work in the gardens and yard, and spend lazy evenings on the deck or around a campfire.  I've noticed even Book 1, The Tangled Roots of Bent Pine Lodge, was getting antsy, so we decided to have an outing. 

The first place we visited was its namesake tree.  I thought you might want to share in the joy.

If you've already read the book, you will know the significance of these rocks.

Next, I'll have to take The Dunes & Don'ts Antiques Emporium out for a walk, too. Those two are always competing for my attention.
