But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Thin Places is an intriguing story with lovely descriptive language. The main characters grapple with some of life's biggest challenges, and the reader soon becomes "hooked"
on learning how the plot will resolve.
Thin Places
Diane Owens Prettyman is the author of two novels: Thin Places, which won first place in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Manuscript Contest and Redesigning Emma, which won the Colorado Romance Writers Heart of the Rockies Contest.
In their review of Thin Places, Kirkus Reviews stated:
" ...the dialogue between Chloe and Finn rings true. Their story is refreshingly free of the sort of trumped-up incidents that often throw male and female leads together, and Prettyman intriguingly finds resonance in the fact that Chloe and Finn each harbor secrets. ...engaging romance/mystery with a hint of the otherworldly."
Prettyman has also written for many publications including Oxygen, Texas, Oregon Coast and The Austin American Statesman. She lives in Austin, Texas.

Here's the set-up:
Just days before his execution, Calvery Thomas has reason to believe in thin places. He looks at the world through the eyes of someone who has already passed on. When he promises Finn Tully a reward to find his daughter and prove his innocence to her, Calvery knows the request is unreasonable. He also knows Finn needs his help, and Calvery's daughter needs the money. Finn is clean, sober, on the downside of a prison term and not about to get swallowed up in Calvery's problems until a series of unexplainable events propel Finn into the middle of the mysteries surrounding Calvery's execution. When Finn finds the daughter, Chloe, in Clam Harbor, Washington, he soon realizes she is in danger. Chloe is a tough, no-nonsense charter boat captain involved in a smuggling operation with the very man who framed her father. Finn and Chloe join forces to find the truth behind Calvery's execution and, in the process, discover the power of a father's love and the miracles of the world beyond this one.
One Reviewer Notes:
A fine debut novel, and the only one I've read that combines the best aspects of a thriller, the depth of character of the highest-order literary fiction, and the sublimeness of the most memorable spiritual writing (without knocking a reader over the head with a message), and doing all in a voice so unique that her readers would recognize it instantly should they be given an anonymized sample of her much-anticipated second novel. Go Diane!
Whizzzz...BANG!
