Life, Libby, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Libby Hawthorne makes exotic trip itineraries but never leaves Seattle. She’d like to attend church but winds up at a bookstore. She longs for love—but who has the time? Delayed happiness has been worth it, because she’s about to get her dream promotion...

Or not.

So now what?

When a corporate merger leaves her demoted and disillusioned, Libby realizes she needs to start living authentically...and soon. But just as she tries to uncover her purposed life, her cruel and unusual boss, Cecilia, demands that Libby hide Seattle’s most famous homegrown rock star in order to keep her new, bad job. For the first time in years, Libby doesn’t have a step by step plan to guide her. She must trust her faith and her heart. But what is she supposed to do with her growing admiration for Blaine Slater, a new VP from Chicago, or the surprising kindness of the rock star living incognito in her Seattle apartment? Through the humorous twist and turns, Libby uncovers a big life truth—the detours we are afraid of might just be the perfect path to happiness.

Altar Call
In this fun and clever sequel to Hip to Be Square, heroine Mari Hamilton is enjoying her satisfying work, an eight–month relationship to her perfect Beau, and the role of attentive bridesmaid as her friend Sadie plans the wedding of the year. But as Sadie steps closer to the altar, her single friends—Mari, Caitlin, and Angelica—must face their emotions about tying the knot.

Altar Call is an engaging and entertaining look at how a wedding...even someone else’s...can turn rational women into irrational creatures. And how sometimes a woman’s path is about finding Mr. Right—and sometimes it is about having enough faith to do the right thing.

On her twenty–ninth birthday, Mari Hamilton, a worn–out recreation director at Golden Horizons Retirement Home, is convinced that leaving social work will improve her social life. And after a life intervention by her friends Sadie, Caitlin, and Angelica it seems everyone thinks she is ready for a personal upgrade.

When she seeks and receives a stylish position at a new and fabulous luxury spa, meets the perfect guy at Golden Horizon’s anniversary party (of all places!), and becomes the fashion talk of the town, she is sure her life is finally on the right track. But a funny thing happens to her on the way to a makeover—during a forced stopover in her past, she makes a surprising discovery: it was in her old life that God was doing a new and incredibly hip thing.
