Surviving Revision: How One Writer Finished What She Started
Summary
So, you finished the first draft of your novel. Yay! Now what? Surviving Revision: How One Writer Finished What She Started is a humorous first-hand account of a first-time novelist grappling with how to turn her disheveled vomit draft into a novel someone besides her mother might want to read. Unruly characters, infuriating log lines, wayward settings and haphazard props provide stumbling blocks and “ah-ha” moments like: A character’s first impression is a promise you make to your reader. Just because you call something a scene doesn’t make it a scene. It’s an author’s job to save her story, not her characters. Your main character is not the protagonist in every scene, but.... Every scene needs a protagonist (and an antagonist!). Wallpaper should be hung after the tub is ripped out and replaced. Accidental discoveries, astonishing surprises, and amazing improvements lurk between these sections, and by the end of the audiobook, you will be convinced that you, too, can revise your own work into something you can be proud of!

When she runs into her childhood sweetheart, Henry Matthews, a wildlife ranger for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it looks like she might've found her man.

Nurse: The Art of Caring
Summary
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a nurse? From a 6-time Top 10 in the USA author, this book is a collection of the most memorable moments from the careers of over sixty nurses. It covers nearly seventy years of practice from World War II to the present day. The extraordinary situations described here are the result of more than 1,000 years of hands-on bedside knowledge. The vignettes contain wisdom and insight gained the hard way, from long experience in the trenches (sometimes in actual trenches) performing tasks that range from the most humble to the most skilled. These true stories run the gamut from birth to death. They deal with everything from war, ER, ICU, to childbirth, pediatrics, adult care, surgery, home and homeless healthcare, the psych ward, oncology, the nursing home, and finally hospice. The sacrifice and service of these nurses--their courage, kindness, and determination--is breathtaking. If you've ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes of a hospital, you've come to the right place.

Foreclosure Fatality
Summary
I’d sell more homes if the dead bodies didn’t get in the way. I made a promise, multiple times, actually, to my husband, the Bramblett County Sheriff. I promised I wouldn’t put my life at risk doing his job. But... When I find my potential client’s son standing over her dead body, all bets are off. I just can’t let it go, no matter how hard I try. Truth be told, I’d put myself up against a murderer any day if it kept me from taking sides between Henrietta and Bonnie, besties currently on the outs. Risking my life is one thing, but getting between those two is something no person in their right mind should do. Who am I kidding? I can’t stop myself from trying to help them too. I just hope I come out of this alive. If you like charming Southern cozy mysteries, you’ll love the Lily Sprayberry series. Buy your copy of Foreclosure Fatality today!
