For some reason, the post on RESISTANCE quote 5 disappeared, so I’ll try it again here! It’s exactly the same as the post that went up last Sunday (but I hope this one sticks around longer!)
Thanks to those of you who commented last week. The winner of the giveaway is: Shannon Rose. Congratulations!
I should have details soon of my public events this fall, BUT if you think you might be purchasing a copy of RESISTANCE anyway, would you consider pre-ordering your copy? Pre-orders make a huge difference for authors in terms of how books are shelved and promoted. You can always request a copy through your library, of course, but if you want your own copy and are interested, links are below.
In the meantime, here is this week’s quote. Chaya and her companion, Esther, are hiding among vines on a wall while a German officer searches for them. I love the intensity of this scene.
I pressed deeper against the wall and prayed he couldn’t get at any better angle with that rifle. If he did, I’d grab the stock and pull him over the railing. I’d likely lose my own balance in the vines to do it, though, so for both our sakes, I hoped that wouldn’t be necessary.
He gave up on the vines, then fired a spray of automatic bullets into the grasses below. If Ester and I had had five seconds longer to hide, that’s where we would’ve been.
We’d have been there if Ester had been a faster runner.
That thought sent a shudder straight through me.
Thank you for checking in on this blog. I’ve got so much exciting news that I hope to be able to talk about soon. Fingers crossed!
If you want a personalized copy of this book, or any of my books, you can order them through my local indie, The King’s English. In the notes at checkout, let them know how you’d like the book to be signed.

Ha ha, I was wondering what happened to the post!
Yeah, I’m still wondering that!
That’s really weird that it just disappeared. Thank you for all the giveaways! You’re so amazing! I can’t wait for this book! I love historical fiction books. I’m possibly thinking of pre-ordering it, I’m not sure though.
Up to you, Jamie – either way, thanks for following the blog!
Wow! What a powerful scene Jennifer!
I have been hearing so much amazing buzz about Resistance! Cant wait to get my hands on a copy!
Thank you, Anna – I hope you’ll love it!
i was about to comment that i couldn’t see it but then poof it was there!! Thanks for posting it again, Jennifer!!
Hi! I think I know why it happened. Probably because our search engines and data cannot connect well to find that page. I hope that’s why. Anyway, I am very excited about RESISTANCE. And by any chance, can you please update about THE DECIEVER’S HEART? Thanks!
Thank you, and I’ll update for THE DECEIVER’S HEART very soon!
It’s good that it’s working now, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see it. And, wow, reading this just gave me nostalgia from your other books. Your characters always seem to be an inch from trouble. 🙂
Yes, they definitely are!
I just pre ordered it! Can’t wait to read it!😊
Thank you, Ellie!
Hullo! I think I know why, probably cuz the system somehow managed to think it was something else and put it aside. Hope this helps! By the way, any update on THE DECIEVER’S HEART?
Very soon, very soon, I promise!
Thank you for the win. I finished the book a couple days ago and have recommended it on a reading group on Facebook and on Goodreads. My first review on Goodreads disappeared LOL; I guess you know how that feels!
Haha, thank you, Shannon – and yes, I do know how that feels!
I absolutely love your books! I love the historical fiction writing. You are a truly gifted writer and I hop I am like you one day!
