It's All About Me ~ Introducing Jean C. Gordon

Jean C. Gordon here happy to introduce/reintroduce myself to all our new and long-time readers.

The Official Bio

For Amazon Bestselling inspirational and sweet romance author Jean C. Gordon, writing is a natural extension of her love of reading. From that day in first grade when she realized t-h-e was the word “the,” she’s been reading everything she can put her hands on. She and her college-sweetheart husband tried the city life in Los Angeles, but quickly returned home to their native small-town Upstate New York, where she sets her books.

They share a 175-year-old farmhouse on 12 acres just south of Albany with their daughter and son-in-law, two grandchildren, and a menagerie of pets. Their son lives nearby. While Jean creates stories, her family grows organic fruits and vegetables and tends the livestock de jour.

A founding member of the Capital Region Romance Writers (Albany, NY), Jean currently serves as membership chair. She’s also a member of the Romance Writers of America and its Faith, Hope and Love Chapter, the American Christian Fiction Writers, and Novelists, Inc.

Jean is currently working on a new series for Harlequin Love Inspired and looking forward to the release of her first single title romance, Mending the Motocross Champion, in October.

Five Miscellaneous Facts

What You Really Want To Know About

Our menagerie of pets.
 

Our Xena, a lab-boxer mix. Our daughter's Cat One and Cat Two, who moved themselves over to our side of the house because her family has too many dogs, and Jester who recently came to live with us because our son couldn't keep him at his new apartment.

Our daughter's family's dogs, Mr. Buttons, another lab-boxer mix, Appa, a terrier mix, and Zori, who's anyone's guess. Appa and Zori came from Guam with the family after my daughter worked as a midwife there in a women's clinic for a year.

My Current Release


http://amzn.to/2aXdmtO
TEAM MACACHEK STARTS HERE: Meet the strong women and fearless men of the motocross circuit.

Physical therapist Dana VanAlstyne’s dreams of a family were lost in the dust of a motocross racecourse. Although she’s filled her life with her work and church activities, it hasn’t filled the empty space inside her. Nor has it eased the heartache of being abandoned by a man who wasn’t ready for a wife and children. Now her dream is to open her own private practice. All she needs is the capital to make that happen.

Anton, “Mac,” Macachek may be the top professional motocross racer in the country but he still has one race that matters more to him: winning a championship at Unadilla Raceway and showing the hometown folks the bad boy did amount to something. But when a horrific accident sidelines those plans, he makes a deal with the woman he once loved with all his heart. A woman who abandoned him. If Dana will get him back in racing shape, he’ll fund her new practice. Then an even more dangerous risk is revealed. If Mac races again, he could die.

Does Dana have enough faith to risk her heart again? She loved Mac once, but feared he loved motocross racing more than he loved her. If she helps him mend his broken body, will it also mend her broken heart? Or will it all be lost again in the dust and danger of a motocross racetrack?
