    Laurie Larsen

    Award-winning author Laurie Larsen leads a double life.  During the day she's a respected Project Manager in the fast-paced world of Information Technology.  After dinner and a glass of wine, she becomes a multi-published author of Christian fiction grounded in today's modern world. Laurie's been published for 17 years, but feels she finally found her writing "niche" in 2009 when her first inspirational romance, Preacher Man was published.  It won fans, accolades, and the prestigious EPIC Award for the Best Spiritual Romance of 2010.  From then on, her path was clear.  She was put on this earth (in part) to tell love stories combined with a strong message of faith.  Her Pawleys Island Paradise series is a much beloved, at times best-selling series of six books following Leslie and Hank, and the Harrison clan, as they face the daily challenges of life while trying to include prayer and praise.  Reviewers say the books are heartwarming, life-changing and an example to follow for including God in your life. Laurie loves the beach (obvious to anyone who's read the Pawleys Island Paradise series) and she's fondly looking forward to a day (not too far away) where she can retire from the demanding day job, and spend her days living at the beach and writing novels.  Until then, she travels back and forth between Illinois and South Carolina just as often as possible.

      Chapter One:  New Friends

      THE ALARM SHRIEKED in the darkness and Lily Adams jolted awake, gasping.  She half sat up, reached a hand out of the covers and slapped a button on the ancient device setting a foot away.  The sudden silence was a welcome relief.  She drew a calming breath, then glanced over her shoulder at James.

      Of course he’d heard it.  He pried open sleepy eyes and focused on her.  What time is it?  He cleared his froggy throat.

      Five forty-five.  Eyebrows up, she waited for the tirade.

      He heaved a long-suffering sigh and rolled over to face the wall.  That’s earlier than you used to wake up when you had a job.  Why on earth are you getting up this early when you’re retired?

      She would’ve answered, but she swore he’d already snored, evidence of his re-entry to slumber.  The man could sleep anywhere, anytime.  She knew why she’d set the alarm.  As thin as her calendar was these days, this morning she had somewhere to be.  And she wouldn’t present her unshowered self to the people there.  She did have her standards, after all.

      She embarked on the quick preparation technique she'd perfected throughout thirty years of professional work and within forty minutes, she looked in the mirror and was satisfied.  Her blonde bob was dried and shaped in a wave around her face, blue eyes enhanced by mascara and her made up skin looked pretty darn good for a fifty-something-year-old, if she did say so herself.  Dressed in a simple white top and black jeans, she was ready for her day.

      She encountered her dressed and groomed husband in the kitchen.  He’d made a pot of coffee and she breathed the aroma in gratefully.  Grabbing her travel mug, she planted a kiss on his cheek.  His shaven cheek smooth, she ran a finger through his salt-and-pepper hair.

      You’re welcome, he murmured with a smile.  He looked up from his bowl of Special K.  You look nice.

      I signed up for an early morning Bible Study at the church.  She grabbed a yogurt from the fridge and sat with him at the table.

      Wasn’t there an offering more suitable for retired ladies of leisure like you?

      The comment stabbed her.  He hadn’t intended to hurt her, but he had.  He knew how much she was struggling with her
