Me and Mel!

Have you ever been sooooo proud of someone else you just think you’re going to burst?

Well, that’s how I feel about my craft partner and friend, Melissa Tagg. Her debut novel, Made to Last, released through Bethany House Publishers (a major Christian publisher!) earlier this week.

Melissa worked for years on her book before it became published and it is an AMAZING book! Seriously. Go out and order a copy right now. It’ll have you laughing, swooning (the hero is quite swoon-worthy), and thinking a lot.

Mel’s got such a great way of communicating. Her message is largely based on experience and deals a lot with faith and our true identity in Christ.

I’m going to have Melissa on the blog in mid-October, but couldn’t wait to shout praises about her book — and her — from the blogosphere rooftop!

Your Turn: Who are you proud of? And have you gotten your copy of Made to Last yet?!

Miranda Woodruff has it all. At least, that’s how it looks when she’s starring in her homebuilding television show, From the Ground Up. So when her network begins to talk about making cuts, she’ll do anything to boost ratings and save her show — even if it means pretending to be married to a man who’s definitely not the fiance who ran out on her three years ago.

When a handsome reporter starts shadowing Miranda’s every move, all his digging into her personal life brings him a little too close to the truth — and to her. Can the girl whose entire identity is wrapped up in her on-screen persona finally find the nerve to set the record straight? And if she does, will the life she’s built come crashing down just as she’s found a love to last?
