Welcome!
July 2008

I hope everyone's summer is going good~I just can't believe how fast mine is flying by!  Once the Fourth of July hits, it seems to be over in a blink.  I just celebrated the kids being out of school, and in another couple days, all the school supplies will be filling the store aisles.  And the swimsuits will be packed away to make way for sweaters and parkas.  Because that's just what we want to do...buy a winter jacket in July (or August)!  LOL

But while I'm on the subject, lets talk about Christmas in July.  I'm taking part (a small part) in a month long blog promotion giving away tons of prizes!  July 8th my interview with Anna K. Lanier is up and we're giving away a copy of Dragonfly Dreams, my Christmas novella.  All the other blogs (
Skhye Moncrief, Sky Purington, Kyann Waters, Tarah Scott, & Crystal Atkins
) are giving away free prizes each day, too, so take some time to check them out.  

For more fun, check out the Sony e-Reader Promo The Wild Rose Press is running!  You could win a FREE Sony e-Reader and enjoy your many e-books in the comfort of your own bed...or lawn chair...hammock...on the plane, train, or in your automobile~you get the picture.  (See my Contest page for the link.)


I'm leaving my Chasin' Mason cover up on this first page because I love it so much.  (Check out the Coming Soon page for a blurb and unedited excerpt of the book-soon to be replaced with an edited version.  Yay!)





You can check out my first guest blog appearance on the Orchard Hill Blog with my Welcome to Redemption co-author, Donna Marie Rogers, and I'll be guest blogging on August 15th and Sept. 5th with Nicola Beaumont.  (She's the wonderful cover artist for Chasin' Mason!)

And that's it for now.  Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy your July.  

Best Wishes,

Stacey Joy Netzel

After seeing a newspaper article about a cemetery walking tour, I was inspired to write:


IF TOMBSTONES COULD TALK ~*~
Available Now!
 

History aficionado Melanie Sparks takes a walking tour of the cemetery in her new Colorado town and learns more about one of the past residents than she ever could've imagined. The story behind Andrew Lindeman's tragic death during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush in 1859 triggers dreams in which she relives his last moments. She’s drawn closer to the handsome ghost while she resolves to clear his tarnished name. A passionate kiss sets his spirit free, but will Melanie lose her heart for good?

A story told at my mom and dad's rummage sale sparked the idea for my Christmas novella:

DRAGONFLY DREAMS ~*~ Available Now!

 

Jake Coburn’s antique shop is barely surviving, so the last thing he should do is buy costume jewelry at a price that won’t turn much profit. Then again, it’s Christmas, and he hasn’t been able to say no to Loral Evans since the first time she entered his shop almost a year ago.

Loral’s mother is a cancer survivor, and much as they don’t want to sell their family heirlooms, surgery and prescriptions aren’t cheap. Jake’s offer of one thousand dollars for a dragonfly brooch that Loral knows is fake stings her pride, especially since he knows she can’t afford to walk away.

Selling the brooch, which is more than it appears, turns out to be a blessing in disguise. During a season of giving, Loral learns there’s a big difference between pride and dignity, and Jake’s determination to do the right thing brings rewards beyond what either of them ever dreamed of.
