Bricker lived in Los Angeles. While writing in every spare moment, she worked as a personal assistant<br \/>\n and publicist to some of daytime television&#8217;s hottest stars. When her mother became ill in Florida, she walked away from that segment of her life and moved across the country to take on a new role: Caregiver.<\/p>\n<p>One of Sandie&#8217;s passions revolves around the rights of animals. She&#8217;s been involved in fundraising for Lost Angels Animal Rescue for several years now; in fact, a portion of the proceeds of Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida will go to help the non-profit group with their expenses. And Lost Angels paid her back in a big way: They brought a free-spirited Collie named Sophie into her life after the loss of her 15-year companion Caleb.<\/p>\n<p>It was her 8th novel that opened the door to finding her way as a writer.<\/p>\n<p>In Sandie&#8217;s words: &#8220;I guess most people would see my career as a publicist as a sort of dream job. But giving it up turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me!&#8221; she declares. &#8220;Not only was I given the gift of getting to know my mother as an adult woman before she passed away, but I was also afforded the blessing of being able to focus completely on my dream of a writing career. I&#8217;m a Christian woman, first and foremost, so it was a bit of a dream-come-true when Summerside Press chose me as one of two authors to launch their new Love Finds You line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong> <br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_m32TlugOPkM\/S0QEqRqZExI\/AAAAAAAADQg\/OKkTffX0VzY\/s1600-h\/Love+Finds+You+In+Holiday+Florida.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423464975603143442\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 250px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_m32TlugOPkM\/S0QEqRqZExI\/AAAAAAAADQg\/OKkTffX0VzY\/s320\/Love+Finds+You+In+Holiday+Florida.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>Lawyer Cassie Constantine has no plans to stay in Florida. She&#8217;s here just long enough to sell her late husbands vacation house, a tacky bungalow she&#8217;s always despised then she&#8217;ll hightail it back to her gracious Boston brownstone.<\/p>\n<p>But the place needs more work than Cassie bargained for. What&#8217;s more, her widow status is like a target on her back and the elderly matchmakers around town manage to sidetrack her mission at every turn.<\/p>\n<p>Holiday is a landmine of golf tournaments, ballroom dancing competitions, shuffleboard and day trips. But the biggest obstacle of all? Richard Dillon, the stuffed shirt she&#8217;s paired with on the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie had always considered herself uptight but Richard won&#8217;t take a walk on the beach without his socks and shoes! There&#8217;s one little problem he makes her heart beat faster than the rhythm of the quickstep. Can Cassie and Richard let loose long enough to have a little fun?<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read the prologue and first chapter of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1935416251\">Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida<\/a>, go <a href=\"http:\/\/thestorybeginnings.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/love-finds-you-in-holiday-florida.html\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the trailer:<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/TbB9SKoIxCE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/TbB9SKoIxCE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1935416251\">Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida<\/a> is one of those rare romance novels featuring more mature love interests rather than the pretty young thing and handsome buff guy. Not that there is a thing wrong with those other novels. It&#8217;s just that us older gals might find a little hope that if we suddenly found ourselves single again there could possibly be a second chance at love despite the grey hair and extra pounds acquired during the years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1935416251\">Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida<\/a> is a fun romp with delightful and crazy characters. It is a pleasure to observe as Cassie not only finds unexpected love but her true self as the story progresses. Faith and humor are interwoven to make it the perfect companion to a cup of hot chocolate and a cozy chair during a cold winter evening.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for an entertaining book with a spiritual theme, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1935416251\">Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida<\/a> would probably be a good choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Love Finds You in Holiday, Florida Summerside Press (November 1, 2009) by Sandra D.
