Sand Castle Bay by Sherryl Woods – Book Spotlight & Giveaway (US/Canada)

by

In both April and May I will be spotlighting Sherryl Woods new Ocean Breeze trilogy starting off today with Sand Castle Bay!  Sherryl Woods has been a longtime favorite of many readers including my mom and me.  I haven’t read as many of hers as my mom but I have enjoyed a few so I’m always happy to help support her delightful books.  The trilogy includes today’s spotlight Sand Castle Bay and then Wind Chime Point and Sea Glass Island.   The Ocean Breeze trilogy is set in the South and there we will meet the three Castle sisters – Emily, Gabriella, and Samantha.  Each book focuses on one sister who is facing new challenges in her life.  It sounds to me like this trilogy will be the perfect books to take to the beach or just to relax outside in the sun with.  I’ll leave you with some information on the book and then be sure to check out the giveaway at the end of the post for your chance to win a copy for yourself!

About Sand Castle Bay (from Sherryl’s website)

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Sherryl Woods takes readers to the North Carolina coast with a new family and her trademark heartfelt emotions.

In a trade-off she’s lived to regret, Emily Castle left home years ago to become an interior designer. The youngest of three sisters, Emily desperately wanted to prove herself. Success, though, came at the cost of leaving behind the man she loved.

For Boone Dorsett, losing Emily left his heart shattered, but another woman was waiting in the wings. Now a widower with a young son, Boone has a second chance with Emily when a storm brings her home. But with his former in-laws threatening a custody suit, the stakes of loving her are higher than ever.

Will fate once again separate them—or is the time finally right for these two star-crossed lovers?

About Sherryl Woods (from Sherryl’s website)

With two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she’s lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.

“The friends are the only things I’ve brought with me through the years that really matter,” she says. “I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends.”

Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.

A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.

Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.

In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.

When she’s not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she’s not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she’s never set foot on a stage, and she’s way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who’s ever seen Kevin Costner in “Bull Durham” can understand why.

  38. Hello, Darlene… First things first….. I love Sammy & BUddy! I see in the photo that Sammy is not quite as licorice black in color as your new Sammy is! We had to put down our 14 year old Sheltie last year, and is that ever hard. My sympathy to you. I would love to be a winner and the beach books sound like a real charm! Thanks for the opportunity! And, enjoy Sammy’s new antics! Sincerely, ~~karen~~
