This week’s Christian Fiction Corner on Write Thinking features Tangerine by Marilyn Griffith.
I first met Marilynn at an ACFW conference (2003, I believe) where I led a creativity workshop. Marilynn was unpublished at the time, but when she shared her writing with the workshop class, it was obvious to me and to others that the adjective "unpublished" would not long apply to this talented writer.
Just a few short years later, she has five books in print with number six arriving in bookstores this summer.
Here’s a blurb about Tangerine:
Fans of Pink and Jade will eat up Tangerine, the third book in the
cutting-edge Shades of Style series. Jean Guerra, a designer at
Garments of Praise design firm, doesn’t like surprises. These days
though, the unexpected meets her everywhere. Since Jean’s return to the
church a year ago, her God-encounters occur with increasing frequency,
along with thoughts of her husband-the one she vowed to divorce and
gave up on long ago. The one nobody at work knows about, not even her
best friend, Lily, or her boss, Chenille. But when the designer
assigned to work with Jean on a line of men’s suits shows up, her heart
flips. It’s her husband, Nigel Salvador. Jean is finally rendered
speechless. Can her bruised heart become whole enough to love again? Or
will she remain in the trenches of loneliness forever?
The Official Bio: Marilynn Griffith is a freelance writer and conference speaker whose
online columns and blogs reach thousands of women each year. In addition to her novels, she has contributed to Chicken Soup for the
Christian Woman’s Soul, Proverbs for the People, and For Better or for
Worse. Marilynn lives in Tallahassee, Florida, with her husband and
seven children.
