Blog Hop - 'Going Pecans' by Gina Henning

As part of the blog hop, Gina asked everyone to tell about a time they went nuts, or pecans as the case may be. Here's my story... 

Going Pecans... well, the last time that happened to me was when my husband and I decided to buy a foreclosed house and land a few years ago. That was a well-worth it nightmare. 
We spent over six months renovating a two-story farm house with five different sets of horrible redneck contractors (some even came in hungover or not at all) and a strict building inspector who's since been fired because he was so bad. Luckily, the electrician, plumber and mason were great people who worked on time and did a good job with their assigned projects. 
We love our house and the new lives we created for ourselves but we never want to have another building experience like that again.

A warm pie. A tasty guy. Happy Thanksgiving indeed.
Homecomings for Lauren Hauser are always filled with delicious food and hopes for a distraction from her quirky family. The only exception with this visit: she’s been given the challenge of preparing her grandmother’s pie. 
Set out on a journey for pecans, Lauren stumbles into Jack a guy who despite his charm (and kissable lips) appears to be in a committed relationship…with his career. His main concern is taking care of a last minute errand for a client, not Lauren or her quest for the key ingredient. 
Frazzled in more ways than one, Lauren’s journey improves when Jack rescues her from an icy walk. Attraction and tension rise and soon pecans aren't the only things getting toasty in the kitchen.

Title: Forest of Whispers
Author: Jennifer Murgia
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press
Expected Publication Date: September 9, 2014

Blurb:
Raised by an old fortune-teller within the dark veil of the Bavarian Black Forest, Rune has learned two valuable lessons: only take from the forest that which you can use, and never, never look anyone in the eye in the village. For something terrible happened in the forest long ago... and now, the whispers of a long-dead mother with a vengeful secret have come haunting.

Forced to flee all she has ever known, Rune soon learns of a legacy she is bound to--one that is drenched in fear, witchcraft and murder--a birthright that stretches beyond the grave to the trees where Rune is no longer safe.
