His breath caught at the twine of Jess’s fingers in his.

“Let go, Jamie, and let God be God,” she whispered, the trace of an imp in her smile.

“He does it so much better than you.”

—Love at Any Cost by Julie Lessman


Oh my, He certainly does!!

Like the trailer that Revell was kind enough to do for my new release Love at Any Cost?? Simply over-the-top wonderful … just like everything God does. 

But I’ll admit right out in the open—I was worried. You see, I have never been a really big fan of trailers because frankly, I haven’t seen a whole lot of them that I really liked. To be honest, more of them have turned me off than on, and I almost would rather not have one at all than a bad one.

So when Revell asked me to check out three different videographers they recommended to see which one I liked best, I chose Jones House Creative, and HOLY COW, am I glad I did! Not only did the capture the essence of 1902 San Francisco, but they gave me goose bumps while they did. 

Instead of me blathering on and on—which I have been known to do—how about I show you the video? Then to celebrate the release of my new “Heart of San Francisco” series, I’m kicking off a brand-new Kindle contest along with signed copies of choice of my books and other top CBA books, so check it out at the link below, turn up your volume and enlarge the screen for best effect, then when you’re done watching, just arrow back and check out the contest below, okay?
