Two strangers, one snow-worthy vehicle, and a cozy cabin in a blizzard
Wild Women Authors focus on: Holiday Hitchhiker,
written by Delsora Lowe and part of the Christmas at Angels Glen trilogy.
Cole Peters is ready to escape the bustle of the wildlife
management symposium and the overpopulated conference complex in Reno, and get
back to his solitary, mountain cabin in the state park. What he didn’t plan was
a road trip with a stranger, clad in the most unnatural, fluorescent colors,
who hops into his truck. With a blizzard approaching, how can he say no to a
“hijacker” in tears?
Addy Adams had a rough night. Fired, no place to
escape to, and a missing car service, how can she get to her parents for
Christmas before the blizzard shuts down the roads? Now stranded on a highway,
in a white out, with an accident up ahead, did she trust the right man?
Can two strangers find friendship and more, while
stuck in a log cabin with a sweet and welcoming couple and their two kids who
are super excited about the arrival of Santa? And will Cole and Addy make their
way to their respective homes in time for Christmas? Or will they realize they
were meant to celebrate together during the magical season?
Excerpt:
“On
second thought, maybe I’ll hunker by the fire and read. And…I’m sure Donna
could use some help.”
“I-I
don’t mind company.”
She
shooed him with the back of her hand. “Go. I’m saving energy for tomorrow.”
When
he didn’t argue, she accepted the inevitable. Their time snowshoeing had been
fun. And yeah, she liked this guy…a lot. No. She
couldn’t fall for a stranger for some lame reason like he’d been nice to her a
couple of times. Okay, nice was rather a mild description. More like
heroic. He could have tossed her to the Reno resort curb yesterday afternoon.
He could have ignored her the entire ride, and earlier today. Instead, he took
her under his wing and got her to safety, treated her to the most incredible
hot dogs she’d tasted…ever…and taught her to snowshoe. She suppressed a sigh of
longing.
Kick
those urges to the curb, girl.
A bit
about Delsora Lowe:
Delsora Lowe is a transplanted big city gal,
world-wide traveler, and foreign-service brat, who now lives in a coastal Maine
town. She attended a 2-year college in Vermont, then married and had a family.
As the kids grew up, she worked as a fraternity chef, started taking classes
during her afternoon break, and ended up finishing college, one class at a time.
She became the first to graduate in Women’s Studies, in a college that had been
an all-male college until about fifteen years prior to her graduation. She was
also on the committee to bring Women’s Studies in as a minor the year after she
graduated. It is now a major. She went on to work in state government at the
Commission for Women who advised the governor and agency heads on the role of
women in the workplace and government. And with a lot of jobs in between from
cooking and waitressing in restaurants, to catering, event planning, newsletter
writer and editor, retail, managing alumni programs, and working in college
admissions.
She’s a mom and grandmother, the best role of her
entire life. She loves to write about small town heroes from the cowboys and
ranchers of Colorado to the game wardens and lobstermen of Maine. Her work in
the hospitality industry, rape crisis, admissions, alumni relations, and
women’s advocacy allowed her to interact on a daily basis with real life
heroines and heroes.
She was a member of Romance Writers of America for
eighteen years. She is currently a member of romance writing groups, including
Maine RW, New England RW, New Jersey RW, and Rhode Island RW, and the New
England Indie Writers FaceBook group. And she recently joined a local writer’s
group where she gets to think out of the box and write poetry, memoir, and
non-fiction. Although she does sneak in plenty of romantic short stories to the
mix.

Love the excerpt! Good luck with the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer - it was a fun book to write, but also a challenge to keep the two stranded together interested in finding ways to interact and learn more about each other. And it was fun to be part of a team writing similar books in the same setting and time period, but all 3 so different.
ReplyDeleteGreat "taste" of a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJanet - thanks so much for stopping by. I loved getting into the head of my hero - who is a secondary character - the youngest brother, who is off doing his own thing away from family - in my Cowboys of Mineral Springs series.
