Writer | Author Lisa Mills

I wanted to take a minute to share some developments on the writing front that took place recently. I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining forces with Writer’s Exchange E-Publishing to bring more of my novels to readers. WEE will be releasing a second edition of Holding On this January as the first book of The Mended Hearts Series. The second book, At The End Of Forever will release as soon as I can get it finished and my editor can go over it. 🙂 I am aiming for a mid 2016 release date.

At The End Of Forever picks up the story of a secondary character from Holding On. Maybe you remember Janna, Danielle’s quirky, funny best friend. In Book Two of The Mended Hearts Series her idyllic life unravels to shreds.

When Janna Reynolds makes the terrible discovery that her husband of 18 years has been cheating on her, her entire world comes crashing down around her. With her dreams of “happily ever after” lying in tatters at her feet, she must find the strength to rebuild her life. Years as a stay-at-home mom and homemaker have left her with few skills to put on her resume, and her husband is determined to use her financial problems to gain custody of their only son. Janna finds that starting over when her forever-plans come to an end presents some of life’s greatest challenges and reveals a woman’s inner strength.

In addition to my upcoming fiction work, I will also be releasing several nonfiction books. Unlock Your Potential: Fulfilling God’s Purpose and Plans for Your Life will be releasing in December and it will be ABSOLUTELY FREE for a limited time to all my newsletter subscribers.

Then early next year my book The Creative Entrepreneur: How to Start and Set Up Your Online Craft Business will be coming out. As some of you know, I have been crocheting for more than 35 years, and I’ve been selling my products and patterns online for almost 10. I’ve learned a lot about online business along the way and I hope to share that information with other crafters and creative types who have the dream of doing the same. My newsletter subscribers will receive a coupon to get the book at a deep discount.

I invite you to sign up to receive my newsletter updates in your email box. I will be announcing the release of these next few books and hopefully many more to come, as well as notifying subscribers of giveaways and special pricing offers. You can sign up by entering your email in the subscription form below. And when Unlock Your Potential releases, you will receive it absolutely free!

Your information will not be sold or shared in any way and you will only receive a few emails a month from me. Should you become too busy to enjoy the updates, you can unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of each email.

I know some of you are eager to read these next books, so I am signing off and heading to my writing desk!

Until next time, happy reading!

Have you ever looked at someone, felt a twinge of jealousy and thought, “Boy, do they have it made!” To the casual observer, the lives of some people look enviably perfect.

You might look at the gorgeous woman with flawless complexion and perfect figure who attracts the attention of every man in the room and you think, “Must be nice.”

Or maybe you watched the rich kid you went to school with whose parents showered him or her with every material possession a teen could want, and thought, “Wish it was me.”

Perhaps you envied the person who was the life of every party, the one everyone wanted as a friend, and you secretly longed to have so much charisma.

You might have envied what you saw on the outside, but did you ever stop to wonder what was going on behind the scenes of their lives? That gorgeous woman might be the loneliest person you ever met because no one looks beneath the surface and sees the woman inside. The rich kid with everything might have all the material possessions he wants at his disposal, but what he really longs for is his parents’ undivided attention. And the life of the party may be making jokes to cover deep insecurities and pain in his heart.

As I’ve walked through life, I’ve learned no one has a perfect life, and everyone struggles with something. Some people just hide it better than others. When I wrote “No Place Like Motorhome” I wanted to convey this concept through the story.

When Marc meets Darcy, he sees a picture-perfect, spoiled rich girl who shows no interest in getting to know him, presumably because he is beneath her. As he gets to know her, he’s embarrassed at how wrong his initial assessment of her was. Behavior that he attributed to snobbishness actually stems from deep and painful traumas she experienced as a child. Her standoffish attitude isn’t prompted by a feeling of superiority, but well-founded distrust of strangers and fear of the unknown. Darcy has not been spoiled by her parents, but in fact, they have been overly-protective of her because of the traumatic experiences she endured in her past. When Marc finally sees the woman behind the perfectly manicured, cool-and-collected exterior Darcy projects, he realizes she is just as human as anyone else in his life.

So don’t be too hasty to judge someone based on superficial assessments or brief encounters. You never know what they are dealing with in the background of their lives.

Until next time, Happy Reading!
