The spine size on the cover is undoubtedly wrong. Grace is the longest book I’ve ever written.
The voices are driving him crazy. And he’s driving them crazy, too.
For Noah Blake, pretending to be normal is getting harder by the day. A near brush with death in Iraq has left him suffering from chronic auditory hallucinations. Ignoring the voices he hears isn’t always easy, but Noah knows it’s better than the alternatives.
Yet when a mysterious redhead hands him a seemingly innocuous business card, a new voice — that of a teenage boy — becomes too insistent to deny. It wants him to go to Tassamara. It swears he’ll find help there.
It’s bad enough to have hallucinations, but doing what they say is bound to lead to disaster.
Isn’t it?
I wrote that sometime before December 8, 2014. The reason I know the date is because that’s when I had the cover done for A Gift of Grace. I’m… amused? Yeah, that’s the word. It still applies! Four years later, innumerable revisions, a plot that’s included multiple career changes for my main character, about a hundred thousand words written and not used, and here I am, back where I started.
So what do you think of the blurb? Does it sound like something you want to read?
It’s a brush with death…not a near brush.
But, yeah, intriguing.
And having already read the first third, the blurb is accurate.
I think I had near death experience there at one point, and didn’t quite fully revise. But yeah, I’m surprised by how accurate it is!
Yes, I will read and buy. Your stories don’t disappoint and can’t wait to revisit town and old friends from previous books. Would like more on the restaurant cook in the future.
Maggie’s definitely on my list!
Hmm… I suspect this audience would all read it after seeing the author’s name without even reading the description. 😀 Congrats on finishing Grace!
Oh, lots of people who read via Facebook know me as a van life person and/or are fellow authors. Most of them probably won’t read it even if the blurb is scintillating, but the fellow authors are always good for kibitzing about blurbs. And thank you for the congratulations! It’s not going to feel over until it’s published and done, but it’s nice to feel through with it. And through with it in a way that I feel satisfied and pleased, not unhappy, which is really what the last two years of effort have been about.
Sounds good and in line with the other Tassamara books. So happy it’s done.
Me, too! It’s going to be wonderful to get it published and move on to writing something new.
Yep, intrigued!
:)!
I lived that series. I’ve read them at least five times if not more.
IdIread it the second it came out.
Go Tassamara….😍😍
🙂 That’s so nice to read, thank you!
Oh, I’m so pleased that Gift of Grace is to be published – I only found the Tassamara books this week, through the book cave team emails, and have already read the first 3 novels and one short story. I finished the third novel about 15 mins ago!
I wondered what happened this week! Ghosts had a little jump in downloads. But you have good timing — I’m busy putting the final touches on Grace right now and while I worked really hard to make it stand-alone, it’s basically not. It’s for people who liked Ghosts!
I’m so excited that Grace will be available in a few days!! You have put in so much time and effort…and we get the reward! Thanks bunches, Sarah!
I hope you enjoy it!
I love the blurb but the “Isn’t it?” caught my proofing eye… I expected “Won’t it?” as in “…won’t it lead to disaster?” Read on to find out…
And yes, like so many other fans of yours, I can’t wait for the book to be available.
