FIRST LINE
FRIDAY – THE LONG SHADOWS OF SUMMER by ROBIN E. MASON
THE BOOK
* because my writing has been on (unintentional) hiatus, and I’m diving back into my current WIP, starting the year focused on my books
THE BLURB
Will the shadows of her past eclipse the sunlight of her future?
The southern
town of Saisons lies at the crossroads between North and South, progressive and
genteel antebellum life. Between East and West, between history and heritage,
and new frontiers. Downton Abbey meets Gone With the Wind.
It’s 1912, in a world where slavery is dying and women’s rights are rising, and
four young women who once shared a bond—and experienced a tragedy—question
their own truths.
Mercedes has always been an avid reader and devours each new Sherlock Holmes
mystery as soon as she gets her hands on them. When one of her friends comes to
her, Mercedes vows to keep Simone’s secrets and uncover the truth.
But as Mercedes plays detective to her friends’ questions, she discovers
something far more shocking—she herself is not who she thought she was.
THE FIRST LINE
She looked so familiar to me but I couldn’t place her.
THE AUTHOR
“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”
My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.
My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.
There is also a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.
- unsavory heritage series—seven generations, from Cissy to Connie, each with their own secrets, one of which is ugly and unsavory, and initiates the curse they all bear
- Seasons series—four friends, each one struggling to know the truth of just what happened when one of them plunged into the depths of the black waters of the Edisto River
- FourSquare – Four stories about four couples who also happen to be four sets of twins.
“Maybe you have to know the darkness to truly appreciate the light.”—Madeline L’Engle
“There is freedom waiting for you on the breezes of the sky. And you ask, What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?” —Erin Hanson
