Escaping home to Oxford, Mississippi, seemed like a good idea. Until it wasn’t.

A year after a tragic accident in Los Angeles flipped her world upside down, advertising guru Sarah Beth LeClair is still hiding away in her charming hometown of Oxford, Mississippi. And she may well be stuck there forever. Suffering from panic attacks, she prays for healing. Instead, her answer comes in the form of an arrogant football coach and an ugly puppy.

Former celebrity college quarterback Jess McCoy dreamed of playing pro football. One freak hit destroyed his chances. Although he enjoys his work as the university’s offensive coordinator, his aspirations have shifted to coaching at the highest level. His plans of moving up are finally coming together—until he falls for a woman who won’t leave town.

As the deadline for Jess’s decision on his dream career looms, the bars around Sarah Beth’s heart only grow stronger. But it’s time to make a decision about leaving Oxford.

Praise for Leaving Oxford:

“Southern humor and charm shine through in Leaving Oxford, with characters you’ll feel like you’ve always known and a theme eternally relevant.” – Misty M. Beller, Christian historical romance author.

My journey as an author first started as a child who loved to read. Growing up in a household that was often painful, in and out of foster care, I made my escape in several favorite books, who continue to be favorites to this day.

My first favorite that is near and dear to my heart is the James Herriot All Creatures Great and Small series. Those four books made me laugh, cry, and feel like there was a place of goodness and hope still in this word that set me on my own personal journey to find that place. He was an amazing author.

My second favorite books are the C.S. Lewis series, The Chronicles of Narnia. Yes! Still a favorite. It was here I saw other kids escape to new lands, and I lived vicariously through them. They reminded me to be brave, and continue to look for the beauty and whimsy in the world. I adored reading them out loud to my own children, over cups of hot cocoa.

As an adult, my favorites have gone far and wide. But nothing has yet measured up to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. His world building skills continue to hold me in awe.

These books have influenced my own writing, which centers on the main character’s emotional journey. I try to drop in whimsy, and beautiful moments that are all around us all the time. Thanks for letting me share!

Today’s post comes from Charmain Zimmerman Brackett.

I love my hometown in the spring.

It’s full of the beauty of nature. Sweet scented purple wisteria, vibrant fuchsia and white azaleas and graceful dogwoods abound in Augusta, Georgia, during late March and early April. And when it’s at its finest, the Garden City embraces thousands of golf visitors.

For my next series of mysteries, I’m using my hometown as the backdrop, and my newest amateur sleuth is a florist named Grace who stumbles upon a murder by accident. But the more she learns about the case of the Jane Doe found a few yards from a wedding she’s supplying the flowers for, the more danger Grace finds herself in.

Surrounded by possible suspects and with a time clock running, Grace breaks through her natural shy demeanor to help her homicide investigator husband find out what’s really going on around town in Murder Under the Magnolias.

Murder Under the Magnolias, one of Grace’s Augusta Mysteries, will be released on Amazon on 4/4/16.

Charmain Zimmerman Brackett has written several novels including the 2014 Yerby Award for Fiction winning, The Key of Elyon. Her children’s book, Little Pearl’s Circus World, won the Georgia Writers Association’s 2015 Georgia Author of the Year Award.
