THE MEMORY HOUSE - Rachel Hauck - One Free Book

Dear Readers, Rachel is one of my favorite authors. If you’ve read any of her books, I’m sure she is yours, too. If you haven’t read anything from Rachel, I recommend you check out all her books on her webside and try some of them. You’ll soon join our ranks.

Welcome back, Rachel. I know you speak at various conferences and meetings. What do you have coming up in 2019?

It’s been a busy year for me so far. I’ve gone to San Antonio, hosted house guests, rewritten a book, worked with 22 writers at the Deep Thinker’s retreat in Destin, Florida, and taught at the Florida Christian Writers Conference. Coming up, I’ll be speaking at the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat, hosing a table at the final Barbara Vey Reader Weekend, and ending the spring “tour” at Book Lovers Con in New Orleans! Come see me!

If you were planning a women’s retreat, what would be the theme for it?

I’d probably want some sort of intimacy theme, knowing the love of God in a real and personal way. We’d go through Song of Solomon.

Sounds wonderful. I’d want to attend. Who would you want as speakers and why?

I’d have women no one ever heard of, but women I know walk in prayer, worship, and the truth of the Word. Leah Morgan comes to mind, Sada Rogers, and Alicia Powell.

Where would you hold the retreat and why?
My home state of Florida! It’s warm and beautiful.

Do you read print books or ebooks? Or a combination of the two?
Both. But I love e-book. Paper takes up a lot of space.

The Memory House is an interesting title. How did you come up with it?

The book started out as The House on Memory Lane. I knew I wanted to deal with memories and the past, how it affected the future, but as the story came together, it became about healing hearts as well as memories. The Memory House became the better title.

So what is the book about?

The story is of two women who face devastating tragedy. One after a surprise tornado swept through her hometown of Waco, Texas. The other after losing her father in the North Tower on 9/11. The house becomes the place of restoration and healing for them even though their stories are more than 60 years apart.

Please give us the first page of the book.

BECK

Manhattan

She was never afraid of the dark. But the light? Now that terrified her. So when the perp ran down shadowed, dark Avenue D, she followed without hesitation.

“NYPD. Stop!”

A sergeant with the Ninth Precinct, Beck Holiday also never shied away from a fight. At least not on the streets of New York. Not in the name of justice.

Her partner’s footsteps resounded behind her, each heel crack vibrating against the cold New Year’s Eve night. But when the suspect jumped an iron gate bordering a small concrete courtyard between two buildings, Hogan slowed up.

“Beck, forget it.” He gasped between each word. “Happy New Year to him. We’ll get him next time.”

She reached for the bars and sailed over, the edge of her tac pants just clearing the five-foot wrought iron—despite the extra load she carried—with ease.

Adrenaline made her Wonder Woman.

“Stop. Police!”

The perp aimed for a side door of a run-down apartment building. His toe hit a crack in the concrete and he stumbled, dropping a package to the ground.

The item hit with a thud, and Beck glanced down as she leaped over, maintaining her pursuit.

“Hogan, get the package!”

Wow! I can hardly wait to see what that’s all about. How can readers find you on the Internet?
