Description
<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>
Story Behind The Book
I couldn't find any fiction books set in the world of angling, so I wrote my own. If you can't have a laugh at men in tweed and rubber waders, who can you make fun of?
Reviews
You have written a most interesting, sexy and humourous storyline, I do like the fishing theme and the title of your book "On the Fly" is very clever. Your character development of Brian is excellent as is your use of imagery. The story is well paced and a pleasure to read. Backed.<br />Andrew Burans ~ Author,The Reluctant Warrior: The Beginning<br /><br />* * *<br /><br />"Checking the condition of his tackle and handling his rod at frequent intervals brings short-lived relief." <br /><br />Racy indeed!! :o <br /><br />* * *<br /><br />Hehehehe. This is really cute and should be quite a hit with anglers. I don't usually do well with adult material, but at least up through the third chapter, while it got warm, it wasn't excessively detailed and the story is amusing.<br />D.L. Stroupe<br /><br />* * *<br /><br />This is a thoroughly enjoyable read, Jillian. I read the prologue and first three chapters without blinking an eye. You remain one of my favourite writers here, but I now can call you a deviant without feeling guilty for naming you so. This is very inventive. After Brian's tryst with the Lady, I thought he'd be knocking boots with Mary after she'd 'jumped' him. What came next was perfect. <br /><br />How does it feel to have such a grasp of grammar and punctuation that you receive the following nits from me?<br /><br />None.<br /><br />Gerry Johnston ~ Author, Dropcloth Angels<br /><br />* * *
