Twenty-six-year-old Cammie O’Shea suffers through a traumatic split-up with her fiancé and moves to Destin, Florida. Determined not to be hurt again, she avoids relationships and yearns to be near friends and family. She needs God more than ever, but feels estranged from Him. Attempting to re-build her faith, she turns to the Bible. One day she reads Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” She ponders how living in Destin possibly could be good for her. The success of the new paper where she works hinges on her interview with Vic Deleona, a real estate developer. He thwarts her efforts to complete an article she’s writing about him, arranges extra meetings and attempts to court her. She resists his advances. Then mysterious break-ins occur at Cammie and her friend’s condos. When Cammie and Vic launch their own investigation into the vandalism, Cammie grows close to Vic. In the midst of the confusion she gets an opportunity to return home to her old job. Will Vic solve the crimes and win Cammie’s heart or will she leave Destin?
Gail’s husband, Rick, says she’s the only person he knows who can go in the grocery for a loaf of bread and come out with the cashier’s life story. That’s probably because she enjoys talking to people. In her spare time she swims or bargain shops with her daughter. Sometimes they try on garments so wrong for them, they laugh for fifteen minutes. When they finally find a treasure, they’re so pleased.
After writing articles for years Gail’s friends and family encouraged her to write books.
In 2004, the year her first book, Now Is the Time, was released, the American Christian Writers Association named her a regional writer of the year. Last year a scene from Gail’s romance e-book, Love Turns the Tide, won the Clash of the Titles competition in the best nature / weather category.
Gail is a member of ACFW and is on staff with Clash of the Titles. She wants to write books of faith that show God’s love.
Clare lives in a small town in England with her husband of 19 years and her three children. Writing from a early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, reading, sewing or keeping house or doing the many piles of laundry her children manage to make, she's working part time in the breakfast club at one of the local schools.
