Book addicts unite! 🙂

This is for those of you whose book purchases add up as quickly as mine and who, like me, love to learn about great deals. You can’t get much better than free–the price at which New Hope Publishers/Iron Stream Media is offering my first release Beyond I Do.

Here’s the blurb:

Marriage . . . it’s more than a happily ever after. Eternally more. Ainsley Meadows, raised by a hedonistic mother who cycles through jobs and relationships like wrapping paper on Christmas morning, falls into a predictable and safe relationship with Richard, a self-absorbed, socialite psychiatrist. But as Ainsley’s wedding nears, a battered woman and her child spark a long-forgotten dream, a hidden passion. One that threatens to change everything, including her fiancé. If she wants to embrace God’s best and find lasting love, this security-seeking bride must follow God with reckless abandon and realize that marriage goes Beyond I Do.

And, my next release Falling for the Family Next Door hits the shelves next week!

The home he doesn’t want could become the family he needs.

Returning home to sell his mother’s struggling farm, Tyler Reyes doesn’t expect the new neighbor to ruin his plans. But when Daria Ellis’s ATV rentals damage the property, working on repairs with the single mom is the only option. Soon the simple agreement turns into kids’ riding lessons and family dinners. With his deadline looming, Tyler knows his biggest challenge will be leaving Texas with his heart intact.

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

How Scripture Helps Quiet Fear – Faith Over Fear

Our world provides numerous reasons for us to feel uncertain and afraid. But Scripture tells us we have an even greater reason to live courageously. We have an all-powerful, loving, faithful God who watches over us, wants the best for us, and has the power to bring that best to pass. In this episode, Bible teacher Mary DeMuth shares a unique approach to Scripture that has greatly helped her experience decreased fear and increased peace.  (Scroll down for discussion/contemplative questions) Recommended Resource: 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge: Read the Whole Bible, Change Your Whole Life Connect with Mary DeMuth: On her website On Instagram On Facebook On her Amazon Author Page Connect with Jennifer Slattery: Find Jennifer Slattery: On her website Instagram Facebook Amazon Subscribe to her free newsletter Find Wholly Loved: On their website Join the private Faith Over Fear Facebook Group  Join the Private Wholly Loved Community Facebook Group Discussion/reflective questions: What resonated with you most in this episode?

I know I usually post on Thursdays. (Unless I’m a day off and think Wednesday is Thursday, then Thursday is Friday … This morning was quite a let down, when I realized it wasn’t Saturday yet! heehee.)

But, I had to share some fun news. All my previous books are on sale! (e-versions) How fun is that?!

So, for those of you who’ve read, are reading, or are about to read my latest release, Restoring Love, now’s your chance to read Beyond I Do, my debut novel, and the story that occurs before Restoring Love–it’s Ainsley’s story. Don’t worry, they’re both stand alones, but it’s still fun, I think, to see more of this mother-daughter pair. 🙂

Snatch e-copies of all of the following for $1.99 each! (Nook and Kindle!)

After an altercation with a doctor, she is fighting to keep her job and her sanity when one late night she encounters her old flame Nick. She walks right into his moment of facing an unthinkable tragedy.

1622609_10201451816713111_1239213881_nHave I mentioned my husband put me on a book-buying budget? And that he instituted said budget when my daughter and I were perusing a used bookstore?

Considering my husband may is the most generous man I know, considering he takes me shopping routinely (yes, ladies, my man enjoys shopping with me! I know, I know–a real life hero.), that fact says a lot. About my book addiction.

When I share my schedule, numerous people have wondered how I find the time to read. If that strikes you as a completely irrational statement, then this post is for you. 😉

What readers and reviewers have to say about the novel:

“Jennifer Slattery’s second novel is a moving, powerful story. … I found myself laughing out loud one minute and one chapter later feeling heartbreak. I was drawn into the lives of these characters and found WhenDawnBreaks Evacuationmyself caring about each one. … This book is very well-written. It includes a romance but the greater love story in the book might surprise you.” ~ Susan Aken, writer and Novel Reviews reviewer.

“I loved this second novel by Jennifer Slattery! God’s hope, love, and grace resonate throughout her stories. No matter what we are going through, no matter our past, God can use us and our circumstances.” ~ Reviewer, Must Love to Read.

“This book is truly an amazing bit of writing, keeping characters in such different circumstances feeling real. … When Dawn Breaks is heart-wrench-gripping with exchanges of love coming from several different angles. Jennifer Slattery writes depth into romance. Here love means more than he-meets-she.
I laughed at myself, the reader, when at the end I felt I had seen and survived all aspects of Hurricane Gita; and then I remembered it was fictional. Convincing read!” ~ Harold Wolf, Amazon Reviewer

“This is the second book by this author that I have read and reviewed, and I must say she is fast becoming a favorite. When Dawn Breaks is an enjoyable read that I hesitated to put down, but did only because I had to, or work and chores would not have gotten done. I thoroughly enjoy Jennifer Slattery’s style of writing and the stories she weaves. Very unique. What makes her stories seem so relatable are that her hero and heroine are not perfect plastic people. Not that they aren’t attractive, but one character will notice something oddly unattractive about the other, such as hairy toes. … If you like authentic characters, unique plots and writing style, you’ll want to read When Dawn Breaks.” ~ Deb Piccurreli, Amazon reader.
