Can You Match the Book and Excerpt?
Welcome to the first Book and Excerpt matching game hosted by me, Julia Ridgmont. In my latest newsletter, which I send out every two weeks (if you aren’t subscribing to it, click here and let’s take care of that first) I introduced this game by sharing three excerpts from my older stories.

In the past, the other authors in the series and I have released 5 books back-to-back in a week’s time so that readers have five new stories to read.
