Ginny's Writing Tips.

Never again ... Paige Holbrook needs help to bring her son out of a coma. In desperation, she turns to Bidwell Bear, young Jamie's TV idol.
From their first meeting, Paige and Hunter Blackwell, the man inside the Bidwell costume, experience an attraction neither can ignore.
Hunter is about to realize his life-long dream -- to become a singing star. Glitz and glamour aren't Paige's thing, not after what she's been through with her playboy ex-husband.
Is Hunter's love worth the glare of the spotlight?

FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY
A woman with a past...
From the moment Kirsten Hansen moves into the house across the street from St. Peter's Church, her life changes. Drawn by the music of the carillon, she finds herself in church, the last place she ever thought she'd be. Worse still, she's attracted to the preacher, the one man a woman like her can never have.
A grief-stricken man...
Widower Reverend Michael Holliman has found the solution to all his problems. Kirsten is a renter who treats the church's house as if it were her own, makes his spoiled daughter mind and gives the youth group the care and attention they deserve. The only drawback is that she stirs his senses and thaws his frozen heart. He doesn't have time to breathe, much less pursue the lady with the shadowed eyes.
Runaway teens...
St. Peter's offers shelter and warmth. How long can the runaways live in the youth room without getting caught?
