I’m so excited that THROUGH A MAGNOLIA FILTER is releasing
on Monday! This is the third book in the Fitzgerald House series. (Don’t worry –
you can read them separately.)
It’s also my birthday today – so I’m celebrating
both events by hosting a month long drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card!
Since I was a child, I celebrated my birthday at the lake. The cabin was built by my father and has now been passed down to my sisters and me. And I've started new traditions that include having prosecco on the dock.
But I don't mind not being at the lake this week, because instead, I’m watching granddaughter #2, Princess Crazy Top. (You can track my two granddaughters on my Facebook page.)
My daughter went back
to work this week. So I'm following the tradition that my mother started. She always helped me through the first week I went back to work and I
am carrying on the tradition.
About The Book
Dolley Fitzgerald is the youngest Fitzgerald sisters. She
and her two sisters have turned their crumbling historic district Savannah mansion
into a successful B and B and they’ve even purchased and rehabbed the mansion
next door.
But building websites and running a B and B have never been
Dolley’s dream. Even though she yearns to kick the Spanish moss off her heels, she
feels shackled to her family and their business. She ignores her dreams of traveling
the world and having a photography career.
Irishman Liam Delaney is a documentary film maker and world renowned
photographer. His godfather’s death leads him to research Savannah and he’s
fascinated by the history of the Irish in Savannah. He sets up a long term stay
in Fitzgerald House while he and his crew are filming the documentary. And he
takes on Dolley Fitzgerald as both a local guide and photography apprentice.
Not only are the creatively compatible, but they also have
an emotional connection. Liam thinks he’s found what he longs for; family and
roots. Dolley thinks she found a career which will take her around the world.
Can they ever find common ground?

Dolley and Liam are two of my favorite characters. (Don’t tell the
other couples.) Liam reminds me of my mother, who came to America after only
knowing my father for months while he was stationed in England during WWII.
They wrote to each other for three years before she immigrated, but she picked
up and left everything she knew and moved for someone she hadn’t seen in three
years.
Liam is willing to leave Ireland for Dolley because he’s fallen in love
with her family and Savannah. (Ahhhh – can you see that there might be a prioritization
problem here?)

I live in a beautiful town in country QLD. I'd love to continue to live here, but visit the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in, Mary. I would love to visit your country (and see my aunt and uncle who live in NSW). I totally agree about traveling the world!
DeleteI love my Virginia mountains. I already was foolish enough to move for love and was miserable with the move(s) and the love. I came back to my mountains and will never move again.
ReplyDeleteAmy C - I'm so glad you are back in your mountains. I have only driven through them and was amazed by their beauty. I grew up going to the Rocky mountains and the Easterns mountains are so very different. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteDream place(s) I would live (it is a tie) somewhere with palm trees or one of those quaint villages you always see in all of the UK tv shows. Yes, I would move for love...I already did that in my life. Of course it was only from Chicago to MN. :)
ReplyDeleteTwmn1 - both those places sound wonderful! And Chicago to Minnesota - hopefully the weather didn't come as a shock! Thanks for stopping in!

ReplyDeleteAn Island does sound heavenly - thanks for stopping in BN100
DeleteI would love to live just off the beach in a nice house.
ReplyDeleteA beach sounds lovely right about now - Thanks for swinging over to Get Lost in a Story - Tammy!
DeleteI would love to live in a cabin in the mountains with no neighbors.
ReplyDeleteWow Rita - no neighbors? I could get a lot of writing done that way! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteBuon Compleanno! Happy Birthday! I live in Italy; what else can I ask for? :)
ReplyDeleteOh Nataliji! - I love your country!

ReplyDeleteI can't say the name of any certain town, but I'd love to live in a small quaint country town and have small house with a white picket fence with roses, a fireplace, a woodstove, a flower and vegetable garden and a small truck for finding antiques, etc.
ReplyDeleteEngland,but in countryside,also Ireland and Scotland :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday,hope you have a fantastic day! :)
Thanks for stopping in Bube! I had a fabulous day!
DeleteI want to live somewhere where you can see the night sky preferably Finland. It's cold though.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn, I know what you mean! I miss the star-filled skies of my childhood!
DeleteHmmm ... there are plenty of exotic places I'd love to visit, but in all honesty, I can't say that I'd want to live there until I visited and fell in love with the locale.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know I would love is to live in an ocean front house with the waves right in front of me and the sound always surrounding me. :)
LynnB that sounds wonderful!
DeleteI would probable live in the same state I live now but would love to visit Ireland and Scotland. Thanks for the great giveaway. Entering under the name of Virginia

ReplyDeleteThis new book sound so great Nan! I love an Irish hero. I *have* moved for love, which is why this Mississippi girl lives in Rhode Island these days! I want to visit Italy and Australia (and I WILL-- someday.) Happy book birthday and real birthday my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging over Amy! I think you need to do book research on both of those locations!
DeleteI am thinking of this the other day, and I liked living in my country now (I live in Jakarta, Indonesia). BUT, I would love to travel and visit places like Scotland, Ireland, Austria, or New Zealand :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in Ami - I would love to see Indonesia. So exotic!
