Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter episodes
- Special Guest Interview with Suzanne Woods FisherCarol award winner Suzanne Woods Fisher writes stories that take you to places you’ve never visited—one with characters that seem like old friends. But most of all, her books give you something to think about long after you’ve finished reading it. With over one million copies of her books sold worldwide, Suzanne is the best-selling author of more than thirty books, ranging from non-fiction books, to children’s books, to novels. She lives with her very big family in northern California.Suzanne’s new book is entitled: On a Coastal Breeze (book 2 of ‘Three Sisters Island’ series)Description:For Madison Grayson, life is good. Newly licensed as a marriage and family therapist, she can’t wait to start her practice. Despite the unfortunate shortage of eligible bachelors on the island—they’re all too young, too old, or too weird—Maddie feels like she’s finally found her sweet spot. Not even one panic attack in the last year. Not one.And then Ricky O’Shea drops in. Literally. Floating down from the pure blue sky, the one man in the world she hoped never to see again—the one who’d been her archnemesis from kindergarten through her senior dance—parachutes into town, landing on Boon dock, canopy draping behind him like a superhero. Ricky O’Shea. Now Pastor Rick, the new minister on Three Sisters Island.Time to panic.Purchase link:https://amzn.to/2Ym0wfSConnect with Suzanne at the following links:https://suzannewoodsfisher.com/www.facebook.com/SuzanneWoodsFisherAuthorhttps://twitter.com/suzannewfisherhttps://www.instagram.com/suzannewoodsfisherhttps://www.bookbub.com/profile/suzanne-woods-fisherhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1922565.Suzanne_Woods_Fisherhttps://www.amazon.com/Suzanne-Woods-Fisher/e/B002A4Z51S/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1513633570&sr=8-2-enthttps://www.pinterest.com/suzannewfisher/pins/To subscribe to my newsletter and receive a free short story, please fill out my google form at:https://forms.gle/x8gtvDgqH56Zc3bt9Hey authors, are you looking for an editing tool to help you polish your book manuscripts, essays, short stories and more?
