Return of the Song Blog Book Tour




Book Blurb- "Caroline Caryline's dreams were crushed when her fiance is died six weeks before their wedding. For years she wrestled with aching loss and shattered faith, struggling to find the inspiration that once came so easily. Abandoning her half- finished piano compositions, Caroline trades her old ambitions for the comfort and familiarity of the town's piano teacher.  But Caroline's world turn upside down when a mysterious stranger enters her life. Filled with courage and purpose, Caroline embarks on a quest to track down the beloved, rare piano she plated as a child. Her search leads her to Rockwater, the Kentucky estate of a wealthy gentleman, where Caroline finds her may be composing a new song."



My review- www.goodreads.com/meganjonesThe book opens with David, the main character's(Caroline) fiance travelling in Guatemala on a mission trip. David and his friend leaving their main camp area and driving on a hilly road when it starts to drizzle, as they continue driving the rain gets heavier and suddenly David cannot see the road, suddenly a mudslide causes a rush of water to take his vehicle off the road and into the water. He is swept away and is killed.  6 years later, Caroline is still mourning the loss of David and is intent on grieving  for as long as she wants. Caroline is on a journey to locate her childhood piano, so she can finish a song she began to compose for David. Throughout the book Caroline's focus is on the piano and the girl she catches playing one at her studio. The book drags on in detail about this journey. Which takes away from the story. I lost focus on the book, as a result. Of course, Caroline has a romance with the man she is staying with, and she locates to piano.  I think Ms. Nichols, kept this book as wholesome as she could and avoided any conflict, or tension from the characters which is why her writing style is not something I liked. I appreciate  her effort.

Colleen Coble Interview

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write? "My writing process always starts with setting- weird I know. But I've found researching the setting springboards me to plot points and character details. I knew I wanted to set the series in Michigan's Upper Peninsula My readers are passionate about the Rock Harbor series so I wanted to have,  Annie  a part of that community. And I always like my main character to have an unusual profession. In researching I ran across law enforcement rangers or LEOs as they are called. The profession resonated with me because I could have a lot of wilderness scenes and interesting  situations." 3. A lot of your cha
