I know I’ve been doing a lot of cover reveals recently, but I’ve got another one. This is for the entire Resort to Love book set available on Kindle Unlimited.
The five-book set includes my debut novel as well as the book made into a movie, so I’m kinda partial to it, but I understand if you’d rather read about something new. Thus, I give you, five surprises in the life of this romance writer.
1. Christian music artist Cindy Morgan shared a pic that includes my latest romantic comedy, Husband Auditions. I grew up listening to Cindy Morgan, so I’m a little giddy over this unexpected photo. (She wrote the book next to mine.)
2. While at a writing retreat, I was mailed a copy of Trisha Goyer’s latest book, Before You Meet Your Future Husband. I didn’t order it, and I didn’t know she was sending it, so both my husband and I were surprised. Yes, it’s beautiful, but I had a little explaining to do.
3. While rooming at the retreat with author friend Katy Lee, she received the cover of her next book, and it included the ice castle that the two of us visited when I was in Utah earlier this year. I hadn’t remembered that our visit to the ice castle had been for research, so this is a super cool surprise.
4. I got in trouble on Facebook for threatening to kill a character. I’m not a murderer, though I could probably come up with a whole book plot surrounding this silly misunderstanding.
5. I found a bookstore in Savannah that had a typewriter where everyone could type a note to leave on the wall! Some of them were more surprising than others. I stuck with the tried and true. (Click here if the video below doesn’t work.)

It’s been an exciting month already, and I’m looking forward to more plot twists in my literary life.
What about you? Have you had any bookish surprises lately?
Angela Ruth Strong survived breast cancer, works as a flight attendant, and uses her own crazy life experiences as inspiration for the stories she writes. Her books have earned TOP PICK in Romantic Times, been nominated for a Christy, won the Cascade Award, and become Amazon bestsellers. She and her husband also got to play extras when her novel Finding Love in Big Sky was adapted for film. To help aspiring authors, Angela started IDAhope Writers where she lives in Idaho.
Hi Angela, I read an ARC of Cindy Morgan’s book and loved it! If you like reading coming of age stories, I highly recommend reading ‘The Year of Jubilee’ :)
No, very quiet with not much capacity for reading this month. Glad you had so many great experiences. Happy your fb didn’t get deleted
I’ve read some great books lately!! Some were ones that I edited/proofed, and others were ones I just picked up because I’d heard about the authors from others and wanted to read the books. Some had great plot twists!
That book arriving in no.2 is so funny!
I don’t think I’ve had any book surprises lately but like other comments I’ve been enjoying reading lots of great books.
Hi Angela. I am a retired high school English teacher and every Thursday morning I volunteer in my granddaughter’s Third Grade Class. I am OMA (German for Grandma). April is Poetry month and students were writing poems, which they copied into to a book as a Mother’s Day gift. One poem example was a Bio Poem. To model the poem The Class wrote a BIO poem for me. The first week in May is teacher appreciation week and my granddaughter and I wrote an Acrostic Poem for her teacher Mrs. Harrison. Now the class is producing an ABC book about all the things they experienced and learned in Third Grade. Mrs. Harrison gave me the letters O and V. O for Oma, outstanding, organized and onomatopoeia. V for Visitors, Volunteers, Veterans Day, Valentine’s Day, Videos and more. Been fun to be included in the class writing projects and be published. LOL Enjoy your weekend. Happy writing and Best Wishes.
Good to know! I don’t read much coming of age, but I just finished Under the Magnolias and loved it, so I’ll have to try it out.
Aww… Thank you. Hope you’re able to take care of you. <3
Oh, what great ways to find good books! Love a good twist.
LOL Author Karen Barnett said she received a very similar text from her hubby.
Oh, what a gift! The power of words. That can be something you treasure for a long time.
fun post
Thank you for sharing. I love your new cover. I cannot think of anything right now. God bless you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So glad you like it!
