It’s almost Valentine’s Day; the time of year we turn our thoughts toward love. Whether it’s to appreciate the love we have, dream about the love we want, mourn the love we’ve lost, or even to shun the holiday altogether, chances are, we’re thinking about love.
Love is a tricky thing, you can search for it, prepare for it, wait expectantly for it, but I’ve found love usually finds you when you’re least expecting it. That’s the case with my own love story, and it’s also what happens to Sara in Journey of Awakening.
I suppose you can say Sara is career minded. She has a task to preform and she is rather single-minded in her pursuit of it. When she meets Tobar she doesn’t quite know what to do with the feelings he generates. She’s been trained how to fight and how to heal, but growing up with just her grandfather on a tiny island doesn’t prepare her for the charismatic and attractive desert tribesman. Not to mention there is more than just her quest to stand in the way of their love.
But then are you ever really prepared when love finds you? I know I wasn’t.
I’d love to hear how you met your significant other and/or how you’re planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

I met my husband at a science fiction convention. Kind of says it all right there. I finally found someone smart, who loved to read as much as I did, who I could talk to for hours. We’ve been married for 21 years.
Congratulations, Nicole! That’s wonderful. One of my husband’s faults is he doesn’t read much. That is one reason I’m so glad my books are on audio! : )
Most awesome book ever and best author
LOL Thank you, Kati! ; )
I met my hubby in band rehearsal. It was the second day of classes, fall 2007 — his first year and my fifth year. Whenever I am frustrated at how long it took me to get out of college, I remember that we never would’ve met if I’d done it differently. There’s always a reason!
I love that story, Sarah. Thank you for sharing!
Drum roll please. Random. org chose Sarah as the winner! Congratulation, Sarah! You won the glass heart pendant! Please email me with your address so I can send it to you! : )
I knew I was feeling lucky today! -^_^- Thank you!
