“If I could only choose one word to describe Ann Lee Miller’s Chasing Happy, I would have to say ‘Monumental’. This is Christian fiction at its finest. It’s edgy, gritty, and believable with absolutely no sugar coating, yet sensitive, romantic, and deeply moving. Don’t dismiss it because of the ‘hot button’ topic. It just may be the best thing I’ve read this year.”

Avra’s God 

Four friends navigate college and the drama churned up by their Florida beach band to cement friendship and more. Avra wants love, but drummer Cisco—self-medicating from his parents’ divorce with unhealthy behaviors—is a poor choice. Cisco hungers for fresh-baked cookies and the scent of family he finds at Avra’s. Kallie shares her classically trained voice only with lead vocalist Jesse and fights to keep her heart safe. Jesse feeds on fame and hides more than insecurity beneath his guitar. The friends surf ego, betrayal, and ambition and head for wipeout.  But somehow, when they’re not looking, Avra’s God changes them all.

“My favorite thing about Ann Lee Miller’s books is her characters because they’re relatable and real. She knows what’s going on with college kids and twenty-somethings, and I couldn’t get enough of her stories. Action, romantic tension, characters who breathe–what more could you ask for?”

Tattered Innocence

A tale of passions indulged, denied, and ultimately forgiven: On the verge of bagging the two things he wants most—a sailing charter business and marrying money—Jake Murray’s fiancée/sole crew member dumps him. Salvation comes in the form of basketball-toting Rachel Martin, the only one to apply for the first mate position he slapped on craigslist. On a dead run from a married man she never should have messed with, Rachel’s salvation is shoving ocean between her and temptation. Jake’s biker-chick of a boat sails through hurricanes, real and figurative. A cast of wannabe sailors, Rachel’s ex, Jake’s ex, a baby—go along for the ride. The many-layered story weaves together disparate strands into a seamless cord. Mother and daughter look eerily alike—down to their lusts. Their symbiotic bond, forged in the blood of childbirth on the kitchen floor and cemented by their secrets, must be broken. A son must go home. Sin must be expunged. Tattered Innocence is for anyone who’s ever woken up sealed in a fifty-gallon drum of  guilt.

Kicking Eternity

Stuck in sleepy New Smyrna Beach one last summer, Raine socks away her camp pay checks, worries about her druggy brother, and ignores trouble: Cal Koomer. She’s a plane ticket away from teaching orphans in Africa. Not even Cal’s surfer six-pack and the chinks she spies in his rebel armor will derail her. The artist in Cal begs to paint Raine’s ivory skin, high cheek bones, and internal sparklers behind her eyes. But falling for her would caterwaul him into his parents’ life. No thanks. The girl was self-righteous waiting to happen. Mom served sanctimony like vegetables, three servings a day, and he had a gut full. Rec Director Drew taunts her with “Rainey” and calls her an enabler. He is so infernally there like a horsefly—till he buzzes back to his ex. Raine’s brother tweaks. Her dream of Africa dies small deaths. Will she figure out what to fight for and what to free before it’s too late?

Tracy Krauss- “Expressions Express”

Art of My Life

Cal walked out of jail and into a second chance at winning Aly with his grandma’s beater sailboat and a reclaimed dream of sailing charters. Aly has the business smarts, strings to a startup loan, and heart he never should have broken. He’s got squat. Unless you count enough original art for a monster rummage sale and an affection for weed. But he’d only ever loved Aly. That had to count for something. Aly needed a guy who owned yard tools, tires worth rotating, and a voter’s registration card. He’d be that guy or die trying. For anyone who’s ever struggled to measure up. And failed.

“When I read one of Ann’s books, I can’t put it down. The multi-layered relationships that develop between the characters, the painful honesty of complex human emotion and depravity, and the vivid descriptions engage me in a way not many people can.”
