And while you're at it, you might like to take a look at my award-winning historical novel TROPHY GIRL--inspired by my step-father's (Frankie Lies') decades-long racing career.
It's summer 1957, and when fourteen-year-old Sandy Turner goes missing—along with one of her late mother's hidden scrapbooks—Aunt Maggie can think of only one place the girl might be.
Frank Haggard, the race-car driver in those yellowing news clippings, assumes the girl claiming to be his daughter is a fan acting on a dare, until Maggie tracks them down. Memories of his annulled marriage to Maggie's sister flood over him, and the timing couldn't be worse.
With the first-ever National Championship for stock cars a week away, the last thing he needs is a child-custody battle with Maggie-as determined as she is beautiful. When the car he's planned to pilot is turned over to a younger driver, Frank and Maggie make the riskiest deal of their lives-her savings for a race car, but if Frank wins, he gives up his daughter. https://www.amazon.com/Trophy-Girl-Marlis-Manley/dp/1684337739
"I am now going to be a racing fan. Before reading this book I had no idea how exciting it could be. The way things were described made me feel like I was there in the stands. While that was fun and exciting it wasn’t the best part of the book, I really enjoyed the relationship between Sandi and her father. Every time I thought I had things figured out it all changed and that was fine. I will be recommending this book." --Kaye & Mike Hurless, Australia

BONUS TIP: For blazing adventure, check out Cam Torren's new novel SCORCHED.
Scorched delivers the full force of the life-and-death decisions, and consequences, that are the daily business of the world of Search and Rescue. Set in the beautiful, but sometimes deadly, mountains of Colorado, a sophisticated game of art theft plays out in an isolated lodge in the middle of a wildfire that traps both the good and bad players on the smoke-blanketed mountain side.
As Eyore would say, "Thanks for noticing' me," and as always, remember to make a nice day for yourself.
