Int’l Author Call Out! Tara Chevrestt from Utah (I don’t have to tell you where that is - do I?)8/6/2013
I'm excited to have two international authors on my Call Out this weekend, and Tara Chevrestt (also a fellow 'Escape Artist with Harlequin Australia's Escape Publishing) is my first! Tara's bio... Tara Chevrestt is a deaf woman, former aviation mechanic, dog mom, writer, and editor. You’ll never see her without her Kindle or a book within reach. As a child, she would often take a flashlight under the covers to finish the recent Nancy Drew novel when she was supposed to be sleeping. Tara is addicted to Law& Order: SVU, has a crush on Cary Grant, laughs at her own jokes, and is constantly modifying recipes and experimenting in the kitchen. Her theme is Strong is Sexy. She writes about strong women facing obstacles—in the military, with their handicaps, or just learning to accept themselves. Her heroines can stand alone and take care of themselves, but they often find love in the process. The Blurb: In New York City, seven writers compete for a hundred thousand dollars, a publishing contract with Bright House, and the title of the next bestseller. One is Felicity James. One is Victor Guzman. Drama, plagiarism, and trash talk play out to enthralled audiences across the country as all seven contestants compete against each other in a range of heated challenges, with tensions reaching breaking point. As Felicity and Victor start up a show‐mance, their relationship burns up the ratings. Will this sizzling fling escalate into a vicious battle for money and fame, or will these two authors manage to write their own happy ending? The Blurb: Kimberly Rogers vowed to fight a tragic past the only way she knew how: she joined the Army and became strong. No man would hurt her again. But a war wound sends her to her brother's in Cripple Creek, WY, with vision and hearing impairments. Whereas glasses can help her see and hearing aids can help her hear, nothing can force her to talk again. Is she really unable to speak, or is she hiding behind her disability to protect herself, her pride, and her heart? Regulated to the most menial of jobs, her world in shambles, Kimberly is finally convinced to seek medical assistance. Carlos Medina is Jackson Hole's best therapist. If anyone can make Kimberly speak again, it's him. But Kimberly has to meet him halfway, and Carlos has his own past tragedy that the young, mute woman threatens to force him to conquer. They both have wounds…and sometimes wounds must be reopened before they can heal. Can they open up to each other? Can Kimberly find her voice again and open her heart? Can love heal them both Mark A Healing Love TO READ on Goodreads

Tara - my pleasure! Thanks for visiting all the way from Utah! If I find myself that way one day, I'll pop in for a coffee and donut :) 8/6/2013 07:14:40 am
Hi Jennie, Thank you for highlighting A Healing Love - sounds like a unique book. I can't imagine how hard it would be to write a book with a mute leading lady. Congratulations to the author Tara Chevrestt for taking on such a challenging character.
