Adams Grove Spotlight

I first met author Nancy Naigle in 2011 at Lori Foster/Duffy Brown’s Reader Author Get Together. Nancy had just originally released her first book in the Adams Grove Series, and I was hooked from the very first book. Sweet Tea and Secrets was re-released with additional scenes in September 2012 when Montlake Romance picked up the series.  Nancy and I have stayed in touch since our first meeting and have been lucky enough to get to see each other a couple times a year each year thanks to both Reader Author Get Together in Cincinnati each June and Killer Nashville in Nashville each August. I’m a big fan of Nancy’s books and can’t wait to see what happens next in Adams Grove.

***Updated to offer giveaway of one (1) book of choice in the Adams Grove series currently out to one lucky winner. I'll pick the winner from all comments from this post through 10/25/13.***
