| Publisher Description: When the new doctor's family moves in across the street, Glen is happy to show the son, Charlie, around the small town. With his good looks, charisma, athletic ability, and sports car, Charlie soon has the whole town in his corner. Except Nicole, the prettiest girl in town (and the pastor's daughter), who has no intention of dating Charlie. No matter how often he asks her. Or Luke, Glen's best friend since kindergarten, who dislikes Charlie on sight and longs to wipe that smile off his face As Glen sidesteps the hostility between Luke and Charlie and assists Charlie in his quest to date Nicole, he faces major problems--some life-threatening, others life-changing.
Excerpt He wanted to know about girls--were there any he hadn't met yet? I really couldn't think of any. Well, just a couple who I didn't think he'd be interested in--one girl who never takes part in anything, and Zoey Burgess, who wears glasses and is kind of chubby and sort of plain. Girls seem to like her, but I've never noticed any guys that were at all interested. And then I remembered her. Why I hadn't before, I don't know. She's everything Charlie could want, and no doubt she'd like him, too. At least, she might. With her, you never can tell. Charlie noticed that I'd stopped talking. "What are you thinking about? Remember somebody?" I didn't know whether to tell him or wait until he spotted her himself. I decided to wait. "Nothing special. If I've missed anyone, you'll soon find out." |
Contributor Bio(s): Lindquist, N. J.: - I'm the creator and publisher of the best-selling Hot Apple Cider books, and the author of the award-winning The Circle of Friends YA series and the standalone novel, In Time of Trouble. Whether I'm writing or speaking, the stories I tell have heart, soul, and satisfying endings. In past lives, I've been a high school Teacher of the Year, a homeschooler, part of several church planting teams, a youth leader, a CE Director, a church planter, a small group leader, and founder and executive director of a national writers group. I've been speaking to groups of all sizes since I was in my early twenties. A few of my favourite themes are hope, creativity, leadership, and making disciples. I've also been teaching writers since 1992 and have a website dedicated to that. Mostly, I love seeing people grow, do what they love, and live joy-filled, meaningful lives. I'm a member of the Writers Union of Canada, Sisters in Crime, Crime Writers of Canada, Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, and The Word Guild. My hobbies include reading; listening to music (esp. country); watching baseball, basketball, curling, and ultimate frisbee; and doing jigsaw puzzles. I live in the Greater Toronto (Canada) area. I'm also the author of the Paul Manziuk and Jacquie Ryan Mysteries (as J. A. Menzies). www.njlindquist.com |
