"So much more than romance"
| Making Waves - Book 1 of the "Lake Manawa" Series coming in Sept. 2010 from Revell! |
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Lake Manawa may mean peace, but a witty debutante finds only turmoil when Mr. Boring
presses for an engagement, and she meets a intriguing sailing instructor who is
everything her hum drum suitor is not.
(From the Revell site)
"When spunky Marguerite Westing discovers that her family will summer at Lake Manawa in
1895, she couldn't be more thrilled. It is the perfect way to escape her agonizingly boring
suitor, Roger Gordon. It's also where she stumbles upon two new loves: sailing, and sailing
instructor Trip Andrews. But this summer of fun turns to turmoil as her father's gambling
problems threaten to ruin the family forever. Will free-spirited Marguerite marry Roger to save
her father's name and fortune? Or will she follow her heart--even if it means abandoning the
family she loves?
Author Lorna Seilstad's fresh and entertaining voice will whisk readers away to a breezy
lakeside summer holiday. Full of sharp wit and blossoming romance, Making Waves is the
first book in the Lake Manawa Summers series."

Book 2 - Coming in the summer of 2011
If a never-grow-up baseball player strikes out with a spunky suffragette, Independence
Day may take on a whole new meaning.
When twenty-two year old Emily Graham’s meddlesome aunts and grandmother take it upon
themselves to find her a husband among the Lake Manawa resort guests, the spunky, slightly
clumsy suffragette is determined to politely decline each and every suitor. Busy working in the
suffrage movement, she has neither the time nor the need for a man in her life. The “cause”
God has called her to is much too important.
Carter Stockton, a recent college graduate and a pitcher for the Manawa Owls, intends to
enjoy every minute of the summer at Lake Manawa before he is forced into the straight-laced,
dawn-to-dusk business world of his stern father. He has no plans for romance until Emily
crashes into his life at a roller skating rink.
When subterfuge and distrust interfere with their budding romance, will the pitcher strike out
completely? Or will the suffragette find strength in her faith and cast her vote for a love that
might costs her dreams?

Book 3 - Coming in the summer of 2012
Can a determined roller coaster designer take a reluctant, no-nonsense widow on the
ride of her life?
The only man pragmatic Lilly Hart needs in her life is four feet tall and six years old.
Widowed two years ago, Lilly left the shelter of her intrusive in-laws home to stand on her
own and provide for her son, Levi. She figures after a summer of working at the lake, she
should have enough money for a place in the city where she could get a job at the candy
factory. When her interfering in-laws show up at the Midway diner where she’s employed
insisting her tent home at Lake Manawa is unsuitable, she is furious. They demand she
allow Levi’s return to their home. A verbal altercation ensues and a handsome stranger
intercedes on her behalf.
The stranger, she soon learns, is the roller coaster designer, Nick Perrin. But Lilly is not
about to get involved with any man, especially a cocky rich man whose job requires him to
travel the country. Charismatic Nick, however, is hard to ignore.
Saving Levi pulls them together, but will Lilly let her fears tear them apart?
