She believed the man didn't matter as long as he said yes - until the wrong man vowed to love her beneath....

All the Trees in Pearl
by Emily Ryan-Davis

Available March 21 at Ellora's Cave



Signed and paid for by one brother.

Ethan Carver didn’t order a wife, but he couldn’t turn away from Margaret Redde’s lush mouth and proper manners. Could he keep up his brother’s deception and make her stay?

Set on fire by the other.

She wanted security and didn’t care where it came from - one brother was as good as the other - until Ethan touched her. One night in his arms changed everything. His hot kisses sent her up in flames and taught her desires she didn’t know she possessed.

Read an excerpt today!

Oooo Private Investigator!!! Very cool. All my previous jobs were kind of boring.
But awesome list.

Great idea for a TT!

I'm gonna nick this idea, too, I think - the next time I'm stumped for a TT topic.

Problem is, I've had waaaaay more than 13 jobs! LOL!

Ciao!

This is quite a list. I don't think I've done 13 different jobs, certainly not ones as interesting.

Tempest Knight said...

I didn't know being a student was a job! *LOL* Yeah, I guess it is if you count all the homework you have to do.

Kaige said...

Neat list, Lisa. I don't think I've had 13 jobs either, unless you count each individual temp assignment: pretty much all data entry at different places.

I think the best one wasn't paid. I worked for a while in an antique letterpress print shop, setting type and printing postcards, business cards, posters and stationery. I even did my own wedding invitations there.

Happy TT!

Hmmm. The private investigator sounds interesting...

I was a hostess at a Mexican restaurant, worked at TCBY, pharmacy technician, and finally a pharmacist. Pretty boring.

I've done the bank teller thing. At a drive up window that was separate from the actual branch. It was pretty cool: I had a television, radio, and a branch manager who brought me coffee all day long. Only problem? Not a safe neighborhood. I wonder if there's a story in there somewhere...

Very kewl. I'm afraid my list would be quite boring in comparison. Happy T13!

Paige Tyler said...

I agree! Private Investigator is pretty cool!

*hugs*

What a great variety. I bet you learned something from each of them.

I haven't had enough jobs to make thirteen. I always think lots of jobs makes for interesting backgrounds to use in writing. I've missed out! I want to be a private investigator.

Tawny Taylor said...

I think you MIGHT have me beat for the number of different jobs/careers held in one lifetime :) I'll have to count again, just to make sure.

Debbie Mumford said...

Nice! A former private investigator. Bet that helps with the mystery plots.

Private investigator?? How cool is that?? *smiling*

Dana Belfry said...

I worked at Disneyland one summer and that was actually pretty cool.

Great TT!
