The Writing Lane by Writer Janice Lane Palko: Here's a Nice Profile on Me and My Writing

Read about The Morning Star!

Is the future the prisoner of the past? Freddie White has finally gotten her life together. The former drug addict and single mom now has a steady job, tidy apartment, and the love and support of her family. When she wows the crowd with her life story at a benefit for the Don Enzo Mission, a rehabilitation center that helped her recover, she is offered an opportunity with the local newspaper, The Morning Star, which could make for an even brighter future for her and her young daughter. Theodore Wright knows how to do two things—look handsome and be critical. Fired from several previous jobs because of his caustic personality, he desperately needs to keep his current position with The Morning Star. When he is sent to cover the Don Enzo benefit for the paper, he is struck by Freddie’s beauty, but upon hearing her story, he dismisses her as “damaged goods.” But Theodore has a past too—one he is desperate to keep concealed. Things look dim when Freddie and Theodore are forced to work together and compete for a new position at The Morning Star by going on a cruise and blogging about the trip. While aboard ship, they find themselves at sea, wrestling with their pasts, preconceptions, secrets, and emotions they never thought possible. The third romantic comedy in the Holy Hilarity series, The Morning Star, shines brightly with sparkling humor and is illuminated with charm and touching moments. All aboard for laughter and love!
