Historical author Deeanne Gist has a new book releasing later this spring, and I can't wait to read it! In the meantime, here's a cheap (99 cent) eShort prelude to the book that will give you a glimpse into Gist's delightful writing style! (Also check out my review of Love on the Line for more about Gist and her books.) Below is a press release from Litfuse, the company I do most of my reviewing for. They'll be touring Gist's new book when it releases.
Deeanne Gist’s E-Short gives readers a peek inside the world’s fair. Tempest in the White City
Deeanne Gist fans won’t have to wait until the April 30 release of It Happened at the Fair
In true Gist form, Tempest in the White City combines her trademark humor with romance. Hunter Scott is one of the elite. A Chicago World’s Fair guard specifically chosen for his height, physique, character and ability to serve and protect. When Hunter is overcome with debilitating abdominal pain, he stumbles to an infirmary in the Fair’s Woman’s Building only to discover the doctor is female—which he is none too happy about. But even worse, she has the nerve to diagnose him—the toughest man west of anyplace east—with constipation.
The 1893 Chicago World’s Fair overflowed with the latest innovations welcomed by a throng of people from all around the globe. This setting replete with history, intrigue and wonder caught Gist’s attention and is sure to draw readers of both releases in as well. “I’m always drawn to events in our country’s past that are strangely absent from our history classes. Why the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition has been left out, I don’t know, especially since it was such a pivotal event for us,” explains Gist. “We were able to wow the world with our scientific innovations, and it gave women their first official board position recognized and approved by an Act of Congress (all before we had the right to vote). But it was technology which claimed the day as it nipped at the heels of horses, buggies and man-powered tools.”
