The Grocery Store Legacy by Pat Simmons

I’m convinced grocery stores are designed to hook folks at an early age. As a matter of fact, it becomes a family affair. While moms shop for nutritional items, their children tag along for the goodies…or maybe the whole shopping experience.

Recently, I walked into Schnucks, a St. Louis’ family chain of stores. A little girl, maybe about five, ran circles around me on a mission to find a miniature shopping cart that had a long green pole with a flag that boldly read, “Customer in training.” The child took charge and steered her vehicle—shopping cart—behind her mother as if she had buying power too. Yep, the store was working on loyalty at an early age. 

Fast forward fifty, sixty, or seventy years and that same little girl has grown up, fell in love and had children of her own who now have families of their own. The customer in training has slowed down and leans on that cart to steady her while a loved one trails patiently nearby. It’s easy to spot the mother-daughter duo. I can see a glimpse of the youth the older woman once held, and if life is kind, the maturity that awaits the daughter.

Back to the shopping experience. For the old woman, it’s the thrill of perusing the merchandise on the shelves that keeps her going down the aisle. As far as buying power, she’s probably on a budget and can’t splurge on those goodies like extra fruits, vegetables, or cereal. Maybe, the first of next month.

Whenever I see this scenario, it warms my heart. One day, if the Lord wills, I’ll be that old woman. Will my son or daughter trail me, or will I be one of those sassy seniors who can speed walk through the stores to the envy of young folks.

Kate Lewis left her family’s dairy farm and fell in love with everything about New York City--especially the high-powered, fast-paced world of finance. Once content to lie in the grass and watch clouds float across the sky, her biggest dream now is to work her way to the top of Wall Street.

When a shocking twist of fate puts these two in direct competition for a job they both covet, the last thing they need is any new sparks of attraction. Too bad fate isn’t done with them yet.

Will they give in to their attraction, or is their newfound rivalry too intense to put aside? Find out in this sweet big city twist on the classic second chance romance theme.

For the Love of Audio Books!

Today, I'm here to talk about another way to read, using your auditory senses. That's right, I'm here to talk about audiobooks.

Hands-Free Reading

This is where audiobooks are golden. Want to escape the traffic on the highway, long waits for an appointment, or to pass the time while waiting for your kids game practice to get over? Maybe conditions aren't prime to crack open a book, or your e-reader device is on low battery.

Maybe you're not too sure about audio. If that's the case, I've made up a few reasons to give books on audio a try.

 

There you go. Loads of reasons to give audiobooks a try. And I have one more. I'll be picking one visitor today who leaves a comment below to win a free audio code for my small-town romance, Snow Belle.
Winner announced tomorrow night right here.

Their big dreams might cause them to lose everything-- including each other.
Haley Madison packed her big dreams and drove to the Arctic. Well, all right, so it’s Madison Creek, Michigan. But for a Texas gal, this frozen land ought to come with a sled and huskies. If it wasn’t for her family’s rundown property, she’d have stayed where the sun shone bright and warm. However, she has grand ideas for her inheritance even if the town has thrown up their objections to her plans.

Ethan Winters hated going home and admitting failure. Sure, he has a special talent with the violin, but he has bigger ambitions than playing at the local bowling alley. And then there was the idea of facing his father. No, he wasn’t ready to go home just yet. He veered off the interstate and drove to a little town named Madison Creek. Maybe his luck would change.

When the southern Snow-Belle literally blows him off the road with her rogue snowblower... more than just his luck will change.
Welcome to Madison Creek Where Northern Hospitality Meets Southern Comfort

A Contemporary Inspirational Romantic Fiction Series

The Edge Of Truth by Kimberly Rose Johnson #NewRelease

Over a decade ago I started writing. I had and still do have a passion for reading romantic suspense, and I wanted to write one. I had an idea for a story so I went for it. 

I had three very patient critique partners who were all quite a bit ahead of me in the craft. One had been published multiple times and the other two were on the cusp of publication. They mentored me with such kindness and patience. I learned so much from each of them.
Thanks to that manuscript I found an agent, who though was unable to sell that story, it did make it to committee once. My agent suggested I write a contemporary romance without suspense so I did, and she was able to sell it to Love Inspired Heartsong Presents. My career took off after that. I've been writing like crazy since 2012 to meet one deadline after another. I took a break from traditional publishing for one year to catch my breath, then landed another contract with my current publisher, who happened to be one of those ladies from my original critique group all those years ago.
Isn't if funny how life works sometimes. I feel like my career has come full circle because that book I wrote all those years ago is finally published. I decided rather than go through the submission process again, I would publish it myself, and I'm so glad I did.
Edge of Truth has been a long time coming. Once I decided to publish it, I edited it, updated the technology, improved the writing and hired an editor. It was so much fun working on the book that in essence started my career since it is the story that landed my agent.
Here is the back cover blurb.
