Secrets Never Die by Author Laurie Lewis. Book Blitz

Tallie Brown’s life has never made sense. Raised in isolation by her mother, Julia, Tallie was dragged suddenly and without explanation from one third-world outpost to another until life normalized seven years ago when Julia took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. But when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie uncovers clues suggesting that Julia had a secret life. Journalistic phenom Jackson James is still recovering from the devastating mistake that flatlined his promising career. Now he’s paying the price, working as the editor of a syrupy community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. But when the very man who destroyed him drops a tantalizing lead about a potential D.C. scandal, the reporter sees his chance for redemption and sets off to chase the story. Jackson’s investigation leads him to Cutler’s Ridge, a dying Virginia coal town, and directly into the path of the mysterious and beautiful Tallie. As these two mistrustful loners follow their leads, their stories begin to intertwine until they reach an alarming conclusion – something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. As they doggedly pursue the story, the town’s cold reception spirals into threats and danger, proving that there are those who will stop at nothing to keep the past hidden forever –because secrets never die.

Grace Without Grace – Cover Reveal

Susan was born and raised a Southern California girl but is grateful to have lived on the Oregon coast and in the Rocky Mountains of northern Utah. She’s now enjoying living with her husband in the incomparable beauty of the Redwood forest, nestled against the rugged coast of Northern California.

Susan raised a tribe of children, making ends meet as a registered nurse and lactation consultant, and now her tribe members have tribes of their own and she doesn’t get to see enough of them. She loves to travel and is thrilled with a good movie or a great book, but writing is her passion. She writes almost anything, especially epic fantasy and romance.

Susan would love to hear your comments. Please review her book at your favorite retailer or at Goodreads. Take a peek at her website, susantietjen.blogspot.com, and/ or drop her a note at:

Grace has given up on romance, on almost everything, since Rick Fleming betrayed her faith in him five years ago. Given her constant struggle with bad luck (her friend Murphy), being insanely accident prone, and having been the target of endless ridicule growing up, she has no reason to trust anyone.

Rick made some mistakes as a boy, and as a young man, his worst was hurting Grace Evans. His heart still belongs to her, even if she doesn’t know it. Unfortunately, in the last confrontation between them, she demanded he never speak to her again.

Now, Grace’s best friend (and Rick’s sister) Hannah has invited her to a ten-day summer work-vacation to babysit Hannah’s teen cousins. A palatial cabin, a patio boat on the lake, and all the comforts of the rich and famous at their fingertips? A vacation made in heaven.

At least until they arrive and Grace finds Rick there. And neither can leave. Rick’s car is in pieces in the garage, and Grace forgot her driver’s license at home.

How will Grace survive it? Can she find a way to forgive? Can Rick learn to take

responsibility for his past mistakes? And even if they succeed, what will they do when Rick’s most recent wantabe girlfriend shows up on their doorstep, determined to make Rick hers?

And now for the Cover

Hipoglós Skin Protectant Ointment

For over 60 years, Hipoglós has been a staple in every family’s home in Latin America. Hipoglós ointment helps treat and prevent diaper rash.  It protects chafed skin, helps seal out wetness, and provides relief from the very first use.  Hipoglós nourishes and regenerates skin and creates a protective barrier against possible skin irritation.  For more than 60 years it has been a diaper bag essential. Parents living abroad have been asking for Hipoglós from friends and families living in Latin America.  Now everyone can enjoy using Hipoglós across the USA.  Including celebrities!

SIGNS OF DIAPER RASH

  • irritated or red skin
  • inflamed and dry rash (erythema)

  • skin that feels hot to the touch

CAUSES OF DIAPER RASH
Following are potential causes:

  • Prolonged and progressive skin exposure to moisture

  • Itching caused by friction or rubbing of the skin from diaper

18e15add5cef6e771079353c0c919e34e5318695

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
See a doctor if:
  • you notice inflamed, peeling, and / or dry rash
  • swelling of the skin is present
  • the affected areas feel feverish or hot to the touch

HIPOGLÓS TREATMENT

  • Change your baby’s diaper often
