Here’s what Publishers Weekly says about Heartbreak Town:
The latest installment of this chick lit with a drawl series from Moyer finds Lucy Hatch, the sassy East Texan, back home in Mooney after fleeing Nashville and her country crooner hubby, Ash Farrell. But just when Lucy’s settling into her old job at the flower shop and new life as a single mom, Ash roars into town in a rainstorm, on the run from rehab with a wounded heart, shattered dreams and a trashy trailer that he parks in Lucy’s yard. Oddball characters in the extended Hatch clan keep this sweet soaper bubbling along, and a subplot featuring Ash’s grown daughter, Denny, an aspiring country singer and stupid-in-love newlywed, hints of sequels to come. Moyer makes Lucy’s coming-of-middle-age love story unabashedly raw and messily real.
The calendar has just been updated with the first promotional events for Heartbreak Town. Check back for more good stuff, including additional book tour info, in the weeks to come.
Special thanks to Barnes & Noble for choosing me to be their Austin-area Author of the Month and to Kathy Patrick of the mighty Pulpwood Queens of northeast Texas for naming Heartbreak Town the PQs’ Bonus Book for July. Kathy writes of Heartbreak Town for Southern Living‘s Texas Book Club:
The Pulpwood Queens consider author Marsha Moyer our author-in-residence as this book, the third in her trilogy of Lucy Hatch, is set in our backyard. Sassy Lucy heads back to East Texas after running away from her Nashville country western artist husband, Ash Farrell. This middle age love story has everything the Pulpwood Queens love: romance, flowers, and music, and set in our own neck of the woods. I just happen to know that fictitious Mooney, Texas is actually Linden, Texas , home of Music City Texas, U.S.A! You want to know East Texas, read a Marsha Moyer book!
