Inspy Romance—Fall in Love With a Good Book

Spotlight on Author Debra Ullrick & giveaway

by

Hello, Inspy Friends! Do I have a treat for you! I wanted to share with all of you a newly released boxed set, Speedway Romance~Racing Series by Author Debra Ullrick. Debra has taken three of her bestselling books and put them all into one wonderful boxed set.

Love sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Three very different women with three very dissimilar backgrounds all have one thing in common—Speedway Romances.

THE BRIDE WORE COVERALLS

Can bitter rivals come to love each other? Fighting deep prejudice against her femininity, her choice of vehicle, and even her heritage, Camara Cole is determined to win the mud-bog racing championship this year. Her biggest competition seems also to be her worst enemy. Chase Lamar has been racing mud-boggers as long as Camara, and he grudgingly admits she’s the best driver-mechanic he knows. Their rivalry has been long and bitter. But Chase is a new Christian. As he begins to change, he finds his relationship with Camara changing, too. When Camara’s vehicle is sabatoged, she naturally blames Chase, despite a growing attraction. Chase must prove his innocence, but evidence points his way. When the smoke clears and the truth is known, will each be able to extend forgiveness, maybe even love?

DÉJÀ VU BRIDE
Furious with God, Olivia Roseman vows to never trust Him again. Why should she? Once again her prayers have gone unanswered, and once again another loved one has been ripped from her. With no job and only a few dollars, Olivia makes a choice to start over again. Without God and without love. However, her handsome new boss isn’t going to make forgetting God or keeping her vow to never love again very easy. Erik Cole questions the sanity of his moving from Swamper City, Alabama to Charity, West Virginia. That is, until he hires airbrush designer Olivia Roseman to paint his monster truck. When he senses that she’s a gal who is down on her luck, he vows to do whatever he can to help her. Only problem is, the little beauty creates more challenges than one. As his feelings toward her deepen, all Erik can do is hope and pray that one day Olivia will open up her heart to Christ—and to him.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
The last thing Audra Darron wants is another disastrous relationship. When the persuasive Barrett Camden challenges her to a date, she accepts his challenge. It doesn’t take her long to learn under all that macho exterior is a kind man with a tender side. A mystery man full of secrets, something she detests. Does she dare trust him when he asks her to without knowing his past and risk her heart?
Barrett Camden is a man with many names. It’s been seven years since he went into hiding. When he sees the gutsy little beauty wipe out her competitors in a demolition derby, he’s determined to get to know the feisty woman. The only problem is, she’s not interested. Not the least bit discouraged, he pursues her, but soon discovers his past may very well keep him from catching her.

All three books rolled into one amazing boxed set. What more could a girl ask for ? :)

Debra has graciously offered to give away a kindle copy of Speedway Romance to one lucky winner. Also she will be popping in from time to time, so while she’s here visiting with us, does any one have any questions for her?

  1. Hmm, an interesting set- I can only think of one other Christian romance connected with speedway racing (one by Dora Hiers). It is always fun to read about different jobs/industries.
    Blessings:)

  4. This boxed set is really exciting. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been wanting to read all three books for a while. I’ve started Dejavu Bride but for some reason that I can’t remember I didn’t finish at the time and it got away from me. I remember being really into the story. I’m definitely moving it to somewhere I can see it/ remember it when I finish what I’m currently reading (one thing I’ve noticed about kindle is that I can get disorganized pretty quickly and loose track of books).

  8. Thanks for inviting Debra to Inspy Romance, Debra! This sounds like a fun set of books. I’ll see if I can’t get a conversation started! Debra U, what drew you to writing about women in this male-dominated field? Was it difficult keeping the women “feminine”?

  10. I’ve read these books from the library but don’t own copies. Loved the stories. Developed my love of Camaros from reading these books! Would love to own the boxed set. Thank you for sharing this giveaway with us.

  12. Valerie. I love anything to do with racing. Especially mud bog racing and monster trucks. I love the south and how sweet Southern women are. So, I thought it would be fun if I created a character who was sweet, sassy, and loved to race but the men didn’t think it was right that a woman should race. They were jealous is why. I wanted to show that just because you love racing, monster trucks, mud bog racing, and classic cars (all four of those are me) that you can still be feminine. tToday women race all the time and most people don’t think anything of it. But at the time I wrote the books it wasn’t really that way. And mud bog racing was just catching on. Now it’s huge. In some ways, Valerie, it was a struggle keeping them feminine, but in other ways, no. All I know is, I had a blast writing them.

  14. Jill Weatherholt, in school there were lots of double, triple, quadruple doses of Debra’s. Seems that was a very popular name back them. *smiling* Ironically, Jill, I’m not a huge fan of nascar. Only because there are way too many laps to keep my interest. I like fast and more action. With mud bog racing you get that. Same with monster trucks and dirt track racing.

  17. Priscila, I know what you mean about Kindle and your books getting away from you. I have the same problem. I have so many that I forget what I have and then when I see someone talk about a book I go to buy it and realize I already have it. Wish there was a way to organize them. Thank you for stopping by.

  19. Thank you, Colleen, for stopping by. When I was trying to find a title for the boxed set, I struggled and struggled. And when I started running down a list of things that had to do with racing, God popped that into my mind. Yay. Go God! hehe

  22. mimionlife, that’s awesome that you’ve been to several races. My nephew raced dirt track and mud bogged. Both were very expensive and they’re nothing like Formula1 racing. Thank you for stopping by!

  24. Wow, that’s interesting that you got your love for Camaro’s from my book. I love classic cars. My hubby is restoring a ’70 Nova right now. Can hardly wait until it’s finished. Thanks for stopping by.

  28. What, Gingers219? Only a few?? hehe Just teasing. Thank you for stopping by and for adding the link. I wanted to be a blessing to my readers and let them have a chance to read all three books in the series for a great price. Hope they enjoy them. A lot of heart and soul and myself went into these books.

  29. Thanks for stopping by, Priscila! I have the same problem that Debra does. I have so many books on my kindle, I’m at the point to where when I find a book that I think will be a great read, when I go to purchase it, I find out I already had it :)

  31. Hello, Angie! All three stories are wonderful! The very first book I read of Debra’s was, The Bride Wore Coveralls, and I have been a big fan of hers ever since. I have every one of her books on my Kindle now, and I also have some of them in paperback, too. She’s a wonderful author and great story teller!!

  40. I too find books I want to buy and I already have. The other day someone wrote about Liwen Ho’s books in this blog and I thought those must be really interesting. Then I realized I have a couple of her books and never read them. Now I rarely start a book and not finish it which is why I’m finding it very odd that I never finished Dejavu Bride. (Almost feel embarrassed to say it.)

  42. Hey, Melynda! The Bride Wore Coveralls was the very first book that I’d read that was centered around racing, and I enjoyed it tremendously!

  44. Great post! Thanks for sharing. Mountain Lake is close to us, where they filmed Dirty Dancing. One of my husband’s friends was Patrick Swayze’s chauffeur. Another friend of his, the log scene was filmed on their property. These stories sound great!

  45. Melynda, the first book is centered around mud bog racing. The second monster trucks and the third, demolition derbies. Haven’t done one with drag racing. Ohhhh, do I feel a story idea coming along? hehehe Thank you for stopping by.

  46. Joelle Hawkins Teague, thank you for stopping. What prompted the interest in racing? Well, I grew up with it. My oldest sister raced. So between her and my brothers, I got my love of cars and racing. I owned several classic cars well they weren’t classics then…hehe. My nephew started mud bog racing and I was hooked. My husband raced his truck as well. I have always loved hot rods, classic cars, monster trucks, and just about anything that sounds loud and is fast. *smiling*

  47. Wow, Sally Shupe, that is soooo interesting. It’s always fun to hear about stars and who they’ve met etc. When we lived on one of the ranches we did, my husband took Eddie Albert and the owner on a horseback ride. Kirt Russell hunted on the ranch. And another ranch we were on…Michelle Pfeifer and her husband David Kelly owned a parcel on it and my husband took care of their place. Sad part is…I never got to meet any of them. Drat. Oh well. hehe Thank you for stopping by.

  48. Why racing? Is it because you have a love for it? :-) Never read any books about racing so I think it would definitely be a different setting for fiction. Different is good sometimes, gets a reader out of the “rut” if you will of the same plot/storyline and etc :-)

    Thanks for giving us snippets of your books in this set Debra!

  50. I need to check my list to see if I have them. I have so many books I can’t remember all of them. And yes Go God. He’s truly amazing.
