Happy Monday!

Today, a quick peek at the opening of Family Matters, one of the books I’m offering in the All Things Irish Blog Hop, which will be closing at midnight tonight. 

You do *not* have to be Irish to enter!  😉

As always, willing or not, Kerry MacBride came soaring to the rescue. When her final paycheck for the school year arrived, she really should splurge on a pair of bright tights and a cape.

Heart thumping in time with her sprinting footsteps, she rushed down the all-too-familiar main hallway of Lakeside Village’s clubhouse, the center of this age-fifty-plus planned community and, in fact, the social hub of the entire town.

As if the future residents of the community had planned it that way—and knowing Gran and some of the other residents, they probably had—all of the Village sat right smack in the middle of her tiny hometown of Lakeside, Illinois. From various vantage points on the property, you could look in all directions and see just about everything worth seeing.

Right now, all she wanted to see was both Gran and Uncle Bren safe inside the facility’s game room, where the volunteer at the front desk had told her she would find them.

She had her doubts, though. Who wouldn’t, after the message she’d heard on her voicemail earlier that afternoon?

Well, Kerry, Uncle Bren had rumbled into her ear in farewell, the next time you see me, it might be behind bars.

Grab your last chance to win Family Matters and another of my books and to find the list of other blog sites to visit, too.

Here’s the link to my original post.  Good luck!

All my best,
