It's a Dog's Life for Author Dana Mentink

Dear Readers ~

I hope you're having a fantastic summer and you're reading lots of great books!! Today I have the pleasure of hosting Dana Mentink on my blog.

Welcome, Dana!

For those of you unfamiliar with Dana, below is her bio:

Dana Mentink is a two time American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award winner. She is the author of over thirty titles in the suspense and lighthearted romance genres. Her suspense novel, Betrayal in the Badlands, earned a Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award and she has also been honored with a Holt Medallion Award of Merit. She is pleased to write for Harlequin’s Love Inspired Suspense and Harlequin Heartwarming. Besides writing, she busies herself teaching third grade. 
Mostly, she loves to be home with Papa Bear, Yogi, Boo Boo, an energetic doxie mix, a chubby box turtle, and a feisty parakeet.
Dana, please tell us how God inspired you to write your latest book.
"Fetching Sweetness came out of a question that the Lord continues to lay on my heart: How can I live out God's plan for my life?
"I'm a planner, you see. I love to lay out daily schedules and organize my life to suit myself. Sometime it consumes me to the point where I allow duties on my 'list' to overcome my sense of joy.
"Over the years, God has put several special dogs in my life and you know what I've learned from them? They are content. They do not worry about tomorrow or regret yesterday. They love today, this moment, the joy that God provides in each new morning.
"Our current rescue dog Junie, is absolutely overjoyed to greet the day. I love that about dogs and I think God uses them to teach us a lesson. I know I've learned so much about love and life and it was an absolute blessing and privilege to explore those themes in the Paws for Love series."
How true, Dana. My yellow lab named Miley is so spoiled that she's become our 100 pound lap dog...at least, she thinks she's a lap dog. :) 

So now give us a blurb about your book.

Standing Between Stephanie and Her Dream Is One Hundred Pounds of Lovable Trouble

It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author's valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.
But Agnes's canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.
When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog...thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.
Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it's a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.
The book sounds like a fabulous read. Thank you so much for visiting Everything Writerly today, Dana!

replica watches uk said...

Both fake Tag Heuer versions completely black out the case and bezel, as opposed to the stainless fake Audemars Piguet finish of the H558, for a cleaner and more aggressive look before visually diverging. The more fake IWC desert-influenced SNJ029 uses a black coating on the case shroud, opting to add color subtly through tan fake Franck Muller markings atop the rotating bezel, while the SNJ031 takes the opposite approach, using an olive drab shroud surrounding fake Vacheron Constantin clean white bezel indices. Combined with the red on the crowns, this jungle-green version takes on some serious commando vibes — if “Predator” were remade today, it fake Rolex would be easy to imagine this particular model strapped to the main character’s wrist. With the tough steel shroud and 200 replica Rolex meters of water resistance, these new models feel like they would be able to take on some military-grade abuse as replica watches well.
