| FOCUS ON BOOKS--Join us every third Wednesday of the Month |
My love of reading sparked the series, FOCUS ON BOOKS. While the purpose is to offer an opportunity for author friends to shout about their books, I am delighted to meet new-to-me authors and discover their books. The best part is introducing writers and sharing their stories with you!
My October guest is Marsha R. West, a talented storyteller and a dear friend from the days when we were both newbies in the writing business.
Congratulations, Marsha, on your new release, #4 in the Second Chances Series.
WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT DETERMINED?
My church is service-oriented, and through that work, I’ve
had the opportunity to learn about folks experiencing homelessness. I wanted to
share some of that info with others. I had a heroine from the second book I
wrote (an unpublished one) that I really liked. I pulled her back into my consciousness
and set her in the current day, gave her sisters, and used her backstory. She
deserved to have her happily ever after. I hope DETERMINED will help folks look
with a more open heart for those without a home and decide to get involved.
Thanks so much for hosting me, J. Q. I’d love to chat with
your readers. 😊 Marsha

| Determined A Second Chance Romantic Suspense Marsha R. West |
BACK OF THE BOOK:
Real
estate developer Hollister Grant (Holly) and her sisters Lee and Kay are
determined to build a tiny home project for people who’ve recently been
homeless, but Barrett Armstrong, president of a nearby homeowner association
doesn’t want “those people” living near his neighborhood. He will do
anything to prevent the land’s development. Anything.
Dan Morgan, Holly’s long-time
friend and lawyer, wants to continue to help Holly with the project but sees
his feelings for the woman moving past friendship and fears, but because of her past
experiences, she isn’t ready for a change in their relationship. And might not
ever be. Should he remain silent to maintain their friendship or risk
everything for the chance of real love?
TRAILER FOR DETERMINED
ABOUT MARSHA:
I’m a retired elementary school
principal, a former school board member, theatre arts teacher, and I write Romance, Suspense, and Second Chances. Experience Required novels. I live in Texas
with my supportive lawyer husband and Charley, a deaf, Chihuahua/Jack Russell
Terrier. Our two daughters presented us with three delightful grandchildren, all
who live nearby and are now teenagers!
The
theme of my eleven books is always second chances. I even named my four-part
series The Second Chances Series. I believe in Happily Ever Afters. My husband
picked up a plaque for me on one of our several trips to Maine that states my
philosophy exactly. Everything will be all right in the end. If it’s not all
right, it’s not the end. The Heroines and Heroes in my books range in age
from 40 to late 50s and their parents and children often play supporting
roles.
I am a member of North Texas Romance Writers, Texas Authors Institute, and the WORD BY WORD Blog. I send out a monthly newsletter and give away an e-book to some lucky commenter. I enjoy making presentations to groups, and several times, I’ve taught a Silver Frogs class on Indie Publishing for Texas Christian University.
My books can be found on
AMAZON, B & N, KOBO, and iTunes. Print books are available at Draft 2 Digital and
Amazon.

Hi Susan, I'm ready for another of Marsha's entertaining novels.
Everyone deserves a second chance - good theme.
