ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A word from the author:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I grew up as Julie Navarro, in a family of truly right-brained individuals. Among us you\u2019ll find writers, artists, and musicians, all of us willing to talk about the arts at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve published several hundred articles and stories in magazines and books, including Aspire, Decision, Expecting, Focus on the Family, Key Magazine and God\u2019s Abundance: 365 Days to a Simpler Life<\/em>. As I wrote, I found a common theme cropping up: my family, the sea, and God\u2019s timely work in the lives of those around me.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was time to incorporate those interests into novels, I thought.<\/p>\n

And so I did. Not once, but twice. Both times, God shut both doors and windows. So I continued to write and dream and raise my kids with Dan. Eventually I decided to write romantic seaside novels, and that\u2019s where I found my voice.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not writing, marketing, or editing for others, I\u2019m driving my kids around town, imagining that my mid-sized SUV is actually a sleek sailing yacht.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Suz Mitchell is the determined dreamer we should all be and won’t allow her ex-husband Len’s jail sentence to ruin their young son Jeremiah’s life. An accomplished artist, she moves with her child across the country to California’s central coast and lands a sweet job restoring priceless paintings at the historic Hearst Castle overlooking the ocean.<\/p>\n

To her utter surprise, a serious old flame, Seth, is also now working at Hearst and jumbles the dreams inside Suz’s heart. While sorting out the awkwardness of their past split and current spiritual differences, a repentant Len shows up eager to restore his family.<\/p>\n

Suz must learn to let God be the true restorer of all that once seemed lost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have recently read the first two Otter Bay Novels so I was eager to read Fade to Blue<\/a>. I first met Suz and her son Jeremiah as secondary characters in A Shore Thing<\/a>. I was glad Julie decided to feature Suz in her own novel. It was also fun to read more about Gage and Callie, primary characters from A Shore Thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I will elaborate more about A Shore Thing<\/a> later this month with a more indepth review when I participate in an author requested blog tour. Be sure to watch for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
