bit.ly/embracingtheunexpected.

Anniversaries are a time of celebrating unity in marriage if both spouses are on the same page.

Jami Wilcox is a hard-working, dedicated husband and father who adores his wife and children. After years of slaving on the job, Jami vowed to show his wife, Harper, how much he appreciated her commitment to their marriage. With a surprise trip to the Smokey Mountains prearranged, all Jami needed was the woman he pledged to love forever.

Unbeknownst to Jami, Harper had other plans. Although he requested her time, he hadn’t revealed his intentions. And Harper’s refusal to cancel her arrangements sends Jami to a blissful, romantic getaway, alone.

Standing firm in her decision, Harper takes a vacation with her girlfriends. Sipping mojitos, lounging on the beach, and enjoying the tropical island of Jamaica was what Harper needed until she meets a man who wants to be more than her friend.

Testing the strength of her vows, Harper must make a choice. Does she choose the man she knows like the back of her hand, or will she leap into uncertain waters with a man she wants to get to know?

Will Jami and Harper celebrate their anniversary once reunited? Or will the events that unfolded while they were apart separate them forever?

6 Secrets About the Blue Marlin Restuarant featured in “Moment of Truth”

My debut novel, Moment of Truth, is set in my hometown of Columbia, SC. Here are some secrets about a location visited in the book.

  • The Blue Marlin Restaurant is located in the downtown area of Columbia, SC is known as the Congaree Vista, or simply The Vista.

  • The restaurant is housed in the former train station. Today a venue for fine dining, this distinctive circa-1912 building was known for decades as a hub for transportation into and out of the capital city. Its adjacent loading platform and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad baggage room, a smaller, circa-1905 building to the north, reveal the property’s original function. Both buildings benefited from adaptive efforts that transformed the Vista into a vibrant commercial and residential district.

  • Well into the early 1980s, the Vista’s light industrial and mercantile character remained largely unchanged. However, twenty years earlier much of its residential life had been erased through Fight Blight programs instigated by national trends in urban renewal. Totally lost was the almost exclusively African-American neighborhood known as Ward One, whose modest houses, stores, schools and churches fell for the construction of such buildings as the Carolina Coliseum in 1968. The new view by city planners was this district that lay within the shadow of the State House was ripe for redevelopment – a vision that would change its landscape within the next generation.

  • The shrimp and grits are a signature dish.
  • My favorite is the Firecracker Flounder with fries and greens along with a cup of She Crab Soup.
  • Adrienne and Christopher dine here after their visits to schools for his daughter.
