Spark of Independence

Independence Day Celebration occurs yearly on the fourth of July. AMERICANS dress in red, white, and blue to celebrate their Independence with family and friends, and many attend community events. Where I live In Skagit County, there is a yearly Fireworks exhibition on the third of July in Big Lake, Washington. Spectators surround the lake to enjoy the free fireworks, and many homeowners set off their fireworks as well.

On the fourth of July, hundreds gather in Sedro Woolley to watch The Loggers Parade, the longest-running parade in Washington State history.

Following the parade, checking out the carvings, and choosing your favorite participants to win is fun! These Carvers are fantastic!

The Loggers Rodeois a mile down the street, and lots of fun to watch and root for the participants! At River Park, you can enjoy a fun filled afternoon or evening with your children or grandchildren at the yearly carnival! Food vendors are found all around town; the restaurants are open to feed the masses. Grilled onion burgers are my favorite! These are some of the local events happening in my community surrounding Independence Day. My new release on July 1st is ‘Spark of Independence’ and features some of these events.

Blurb: Spark of Independence Another nail-biting romance from Ruthie L. Manier. Community volunteers Elvis McCain and Bree Johnson are thrust together when chaos erupts in a small Arkansas town during Fourth of July celebrations. A series of explosions interrupt holiday festivities. Elvis fights the flames, and Bree cares for the injured. Amidst their heroic responses, attraction draws the two together. While exploring the ramifications of their budding relationship, danger stalks the couple at every turn. Threats follow them to the cowboy’s sprawling ranch, where Bree discovers an ex-lover ravaged the cowboy’s heart. When bullets start flying, Bree realizes the safest place is within the firefighter’s arms. Can their desires survive amidst such tangled madness? This twisting and turning tale will keep you guessing.

This story is the fifth one in my Celebrations Collection. You can expect more in this collection of holiday stories before the end of the year! I know you will enjoy all of these reads! I hope ‘Spark of Independence will get you in the mood to celebrate Americas Fourth of July with family, friends and the community you live in. Spark of Independence is available to pre-order.
