Blog tour…and cover reveal of BEFORE AND EVER SINCE…

April 9, 2012

Today we are back on track with the Blog Tour, but today is a two-fold thing.  First, I’ll be over at Asian Cocoa’s Secret Garden today talking about how Dani and Alex met in THE REASON IS YOU and my version of ghosts… 🙂 .  Please come comment on the post to enter to win prizes!

>>>>>>>>>Now…<<<<<<<<<

I’ve been holding back on announcing anything on my second book, wanting to give REASON it’s day in the sun, and it still has a long sunny road ahead.  But it’s now time to reveal the book that will sit next to it on the shelf, coming November 6th.  So here it is!!!

BEFORE AND EVER SINCE

Emily Lockwood, your past is showing.

Emily Lockwood has been sitting on a secret for so long, and buried so deep that she really doesn’t even think of it anymore. Why should she? She has a successful career, an ex-husband who rarely tests her patience, a mother who usually does, and a stubbornly independent grown daughter. Everything is fine, just another crazy kind of normal.

Until Ben Landry comes back to town. From childhood friends to young lovers, Ben and Emily had an unbreakable bond. Or so she thought—until he disappeared for over twenty years without explanation. Seeing Ben again triggers more than mere memories and a tug at her heart. It rips the cover off an old secret that could hurt the people she loves most.

While Emily works to keep her secret safe and her heart safer, her sanity gets a reality check. She’s been seeing things—her past played out like home movies unreeling before her eyes, visions that are making Emily see herself, her family, everyone she knew, and every choice she made, in a revealing new light and a startling new angle. For Emily, seeing her life in rewind makes her realize she has hard choices to make for her future. Choices that may redefine everyone else’s future as well.

 

So what do you think???

    Great cover, Sharla, and the teaser for the new story is intriguing. Can’t wait till it hits the shelves. However, I finished Reason last night, and loved it. Now what am I going to do till November?! 🙂

    Oh, my! This cover is gorgeous! And I love the teaser….it almost sounds like we’re going to get a dual story, the present and the past told in real time?? Can’t wait!

    One thing I would really like to reply to is that weight loss program fast may be possible by the right diet and exercise. A person’s size not only affects the look, but also the entire quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, plus physical capabilities are disturbed in putting on weight. It is possible to just make everything right but still gain. If this happens, a condition may be the culprit. While a lot of food instead of enough workout are usually to blame, common medical ailments and key prescriptions may greatly increase size. Many thanks for your post in this article.

    Before and Ever Since review by Romantic Times Book Reviews

    Before and Ever Since review by Cocktails & Books

    "Sharla Lovelace is a gifted storyteller. She creates characters that are very down-to-earth, flawed and understand that there isn’t a fairy tale happily ever after waiting for them at the end. It’s raw, it’s gritty and it’s not tied up with a pretty bow, which makes it feel so very real. I look forward to reading more from Sharla Lovelace in the future."    ~Cocktails & Books
