banner new sizeIn my recent release, A Taylor-Made Life I wrote the last words – NOT THE END.

 ****HUGE SPOILER ALERT****

If you prefer to read A Taylor-Made Life without spoilers, skip to the end of the post.

 

If you are familiar with the story, you know in the end the hero dies and the heroine is left to go on with her life. Many readers have assumed that because I wrote “not the end” that the heroine’s story continues in future books.

And that is true. Taylor does have a follow-up story in which she gets her richly deserved Happily Ever After…but that was not my intent with the words NOT THE END.

A Taylor-Made Life is ultimately Gavin’s story, his healing, redemption and Happily Ever After, in which he finds his bride, his son, and his future. But even though Gavin’s story here ends and he passes from this life, I don’t see that as the end of him or who he is. So when I say NOT THE END, I believe Gavin goes on in his story. We may not know that story—it’s hidden from our view, but it goes on nevertheless.

 

****END OF SPOILER ALERT****

In my heart and mind, I have to believe there is something beyond this world—a place we can’t touch with our physical selves but no less real, a place where I’m still me with all my essential parts that make me unique. And it’s not a belief I hold merely to encourage myself or make me feel better about death—not at all. It’s just that I can’t see it any other way.

Everyone will die. And no one is promised tomorrow. When this life is finished, where will you go? Do you believe this is NOT THE END?

For a limited time A Taylor-Made Life is .99 at all major retailers. I pray you give the characters an opportunity to touch you.

 

About A Taylor-Made Life
Five years ago while I was pregnant with my youngest child, my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma cancer. It was a difficult and emotional time in our lives. He’s now well and cancer free, but last year when a friend’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer, all those emotions came flooding back. A Taylor-Made Life is the result of those emotions. It’s a special story looking for a home in the hearts of readers. I pray you give the characters an opportunity to touch you.

taylor-web-copyThey lived the life they were given; they loved the life they made.

Cheerleader Taylor Smith doesn’t want to die a virgin. Unfortunately, if the terminally-ill leukemia patient doesn’t find a lover or a stem-cell match within months, her fear will become reality. When her cancer mentor is revealed to be a hottie entrepreneur from California, it seems fate might finally be on her side.

Tech-geek Gavin Taylor has everything he ever wanted, except someone to grieve for him when he’s gone. With his melanoma cancer beyond the help of his riches, he agrees to participate in a cancer patient mentoring program where he’s matched with a dying teen from Texas. Despite his immediate attraction, the Silicon Valley whiz intends only to provide friendship and happy memories to the beautiful, young woman who is determined to win his love.

When it’s discovered that his frozen sperm and her harvested eggs could lead to a cure, Taylor’s mother offers to be a surrogate. And Gavin must decide if he can risk the heart he has never given and a child he’ll never know to a girl he just met.
