Deeanne Gist fans won\u2019t have to wait until the April 30 release of It Happened at the Fair<\/i> to read her latest work! On March 19, readers will be able to purchase the e-short, Tempest in the White City<\/i>, a 40-page short story prelude to It Happened at the Fair<\/i>, for 99 cents from all online retailers.<\/strong> While the characters from the short story are not carried over into the full-length release, audiences will get a taste of the awe-inspiring backdrop of the 1893 Chicago World\u2019s Fair and will be anxious to spend more time exploring the exhibition.<\/p>\n

In true Gist form, Tempest in the White City <\/i>combines her trademark humor with romance. Hunter Scott is one of the elite. A Chicago World\u2019s Fair guard specifically chosen for his height, physique, character and ability to serve and protect. When Hunter is overcome with debilitating abdominal pain, he stumbles to an infirmary in the Fair\u2019s Woman\u2019s Building only to discover the doctor is female\u2014which he is none too happy about. But even worse, she has the nerve to diagnose him\u2014the toughest man west of anyplace east\u2014with constipation.<\/p>\n

The 1893 Chicago World\u2019s Fair overflowed with the latest innovations welcomed by a throng of people from all around the globe. This setting replete with history, intrigue and wonder caught Gist\u2019s attention and is sure to draw readers of both releases in as well. \u201cI\u2019m always drawn to events in our country\u2019s past that are strangely absent from our history classes. Why the 1893 World\u2019s Columbian Exposition has been left out, I don\u2019t know, especially since it was such a pivotal event for us,\u201d explains Gist. \u201cWe were able to wow the world with our scientific innovations, and it gave women their first official board position recognized and approved by an Act of Congress (all before we had the right to vote). But it was technology which claimed the day as it nipped at the heels of horses, buggies and man-powered tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young inventor Cullen McNamara gambles everything, including the family farm, in order to make his family proud\u2014and earn his father\u2019s entry money to the Fair Expo back\u2014by selling his design for an automatic sprinkler system inspired by his mother\u2019s death in a mill fire. Struggling with hearing loss from his previous life on the farm, McNamara finds it difficult to communicate with potential buyers over the din in the Fair\u2019s Machinery Building. In an act of desperation, he hires attractive Della Wentworth, a teacher of the deaf, to tutor him in the art of lip-reading. Much like the newly invented Ferris Wheel, Cullen is caught in a whirl between his girl back home, his dreams as an inventor and his unexpected attraction to his new tutor. Can he keep his feet on the ground or will he be carried away?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
