About the Author:
When she gave her heart to God, Shari made a life-changing turn. She could see that so many women of faith didn’t recognize the beauty that God gave them and lacked the knowledge of how to dress themselves with confidence so their outside appearance represented who they were on the inside.From a very young age Shari devoured every fashion magazine she could get her hands on and listened attentively to everything her mom would teach her about makeup, clothes and style. After earning her degree in fashion merchandising, she started her own image consulting company in Miami, Florida, helping professional women plan their wardrobes. She also re-wrote dress codes for major banks and businesses while continuing to learn everything she could about the fashion industry. After moving to North Carolina she became a Senior Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics. Successful, enjoying the pink Cadillac lifestyle, Shari heard God whispering about a new direction for her.
Shari is the fashion and beauty editor of Susie Magazine, the style editor for Clash Entertainment and Radical Revolution and she is a regular contributor for Proverbs 31 Ministries which reaches a half million women every day.

Beguiled
Rylee Monroe, a dogwalker in Charleston's wealthiest neighborhood, never feared the streets at night. But now a thief is terrorizing the area and worse, someone seems to be targeting her.
Reporter Logan Woods is covering the break-ins with the hope of publishing them as a true-crime book. The more he digs, the more he realizes this beguiling dogwalker seems to be at the center of everything.
As danger draws ever closer, Logan must choose: Chase the girl, the story, or plunge into the shadows after the villain who threatens everything?
Pattie's Review:
I enjoyed Beguiled. It is a good Christian suspense novel: Intrigue without too much violence, romance but not so much as to be overwhelming, the right amount of mystery, and well-written.
The cover of this novel, in this case, is a bit misleading. It implies a historical novel, when in fact it's a contemporary novel.
I visited Charleston a few years ago, and in the book's setting descriptions it was easy to see Charleston again in my mind. A nice touch.
Overall, I'd recommend this book for anyone looking for a romantic suspense novel with a surprise ending.
Happy Birthday (in)courage!

On the edge
- “Sometimes it’s just not your turn…yet” (Angela Thomas)
- “While you’re waiting for it to be your turn, become the woman who is ready” (Angela Thomas)
Wow. I need to be ready. Because it's pretty obvious it's not my turn. And it's pretty obvious that the reason it's not is because of myself. My procrastinating, easily-distracted nature.
I don't know when or how, but something will be changing. I hope.
