Announcing: A Long Way to Go



About June Bryan Belfie


June Belfie writes realistic novels from a Christian perspective. Her characters deal with events
many of us face in our daily lives. She began writing romance novels when her granddaughters
were young teens in order to show them the Christian perspective on love and marriage in an
entertaining format. She then turned to adult literature.

A Special Blessing for Sara"A Special Blessing for Sara," http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ULU27S  is Mrs. Belfie's third published e-book with Desert Breeze Publishers. She has lived in Pennsylvania most of her adult life and many of her books are set in her hometown of Danville, where she lives with her husband, Jim, an avid gardener and landlord.
They enjoy their retirement and their eight grandchildren, who range in age from seven to
twenty-five.

"Reading is a form of relaxation for me. I've written over twelve books and many are on my
hard-drive waiting for revision and eventual submission, with the hopes of someday seeing them
published. A part of me goes into each of my characters - even the ones I don't like," she quips.
Her books display humor as well as confronting the serious issues of the times. She writes from a
kaleidoscope of experience, having gone through a painful divorce in her early thirties, episodes
of illness, owning and operating a large country inn in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania for
eleven years, and raising five children. "They all turned out to be wonderful adults -- in spite of
my mistakes. Thank you, God."

Moon Over Alcatraz by Patricia Yager Delagrange

Book blurb


Brandy Chambers was looking forward to the birth of her first child. She and Weston move from San Francisco to the small town of Alameda to start a family, she’s writing her second book, and Weston has a fantastic job working on the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge project. Having this baby would make her already-wonderful life perfect.

But when the baby dies after a difficult birth, Brandy’s perfect life blows up in her face. Stricken with grief, she and Weston pull apart. This new distance leads them both to disaster. Not until a chance encounter with her high school friend, Edward Barnes, does Brandy pull herself together. Brandy and Weston agree to recommit to each other, striving to forgive infidelity and recreate their previous existence.

Everything is once again going according to plan--until Brandy discovers she’s pregnant. While she struggles to cope with this new obstacle, Edward Barnes returns to town and discovers she’s having a baby, while Weston is torn between his love for his wife and his anger at her betrayal. Can Brandy manage to keep her marriage to Weston together? Will Edward be a part of Brandy’s life if she and Weston separate?

EXCERPT
“What are you doing? Where are you going? Please, let’s talk about this.”

“I work my ass off in New York while you’re at home screwing other dudes?”

I pulled the sheet around me, ran over and grabbed his arm. “I wasn’t screwing other dudes.” He ripped his arm out of my grasp. “I was the one who was all screwed up. Then you went to New York and all we ever did was argue on the phone. You don’t tell your secretary you’re married and she treats me like crap on the phone...”

By now, he was fully dressed, shoes and jacket on, wallet grabbed off the bureau. His hand hovered above the door knob. His face looked void of emotion, wiped clean of all expression. “I can’t do this,” he mumbled.

I sobbed, knowing I’d hurt him and betrayed his trust. I felt like a slut. “I’m sorry. I made a mistake. But I love you.”

He stood near the door, shaking his head, tears dripping from his chin.

My legs shook. My stomach cramped. I had to make him understand. “I know I’ve hurt you and that wasn’t my intention, but I wasn’t thinking straight. I’ll regret it forever. You don’t deserve this but I’m asking you to forgive me.”

His eyes swam with tears and his chin quivered. His Adam’s apple twitched up and down as he swallowed. “I had sex with Carol Smith.”
