Who Is Ian Taylor?
Ian Taylor is the main character in the Buxton Peak series by author Julie L. Spencer
Ian Taylor just wanted to be loved for who he was on the inside...
When Ian meets Megan, a small town college girl at church in a remote part of Michigan, he figures out pretty quickly that she knows nothing about him. So he makes the decision to hide his fame from her.
Ian's plan backfires when Megan finds out who he really is and decides she doesn't want to live her life in his spotlight, with all the baggage that comes with it. She just wants to live a quiet life in rural Michigan, with a normal husband and family.
But, center stage can't last forever...
Even a rock band as talented as Buxton Peak can come crashing down.
While Ian Taylor is blinded by love, his band is torn apart by distractions, temptations, and drug abuse.
Will Ian stand beside his mates, letting their problems become his problems? Can they pull together as a band? or will the pressures of stardom rip them apart?

The Cove by Julie Spencer Free on Kindle August 1st-5th 2016
In honor of the Summer Olympics, and because the main
character in The Cove is a famous
Olympic swimmer, Julie Spencer is offering her novel, The Cove free on Kindle this week only.
Here is a blurb about The Cove:
Some accomplishments are easier than others…
For Olympic swimmer Gail Pederson, gold medals came easy.
Finding true love and marrying him in the temple? Not so easy. Especially with
three men competing for her attention, and temptations leading her further and
further from her goal.
Choices have consequences, and each choice Gail makes
affects all four of them. One choice changes their lives forever, and leaves
unexpected consequences in its wake.
Innocence lost, promises broken, and friendships destroyed.
Gail may choose how to live her life, but she can’t choose the consequences.
Here is an excerpt from The Cove:
“Why did you do that?” Gail stood
in his lit doorway, dripping wet in her designer swimsuit. Todd kept the screen
door closed between them, anger in his eyes and a scowl on his face. Gail
pushed the door open and stomped into his house, leaving water all across his
linoleum floor. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then grabbed the
kitchen towel from the handle on the stove. As he stooped down to wipe up the
mess, she grabbed her long hair in her hands and wrung the water from it so
that it left an even bigger pool of water beside her. He paused, clenched his
hand around the towel and wiped up that mess as well. When Todd stood up, he
tossed the towel at Gail’s chest.
“Dry yourself off.” Todd snapped at
her. “You’re making a mess in my kitchen.” He walked back over to the counter
where he had been making himself a sandwich. How can he possibly be hungry after all that food at the country club?
“Why did you have to show up there
anyway?” Gail demanded.
“I was invited!” Todd turned back
to her with fierceness in his eyes. “By your fiancé!” He spat the words at her and she flinched back from his
accusing eyes. He stepped away from the counter and crossed the room to her.
She was glad he’d put down the knife he’d used to cut the salami for his
sandwich. Not that she thought he would ever really get so mad he might hurt
her, it just would have felt a little more threatening.
“Stephan invited… you? Why?” He
ignored her question.
“Do you have any idea how much Patrick loves you? How much it’s going to hurt
him when he finds out that you’re engaged
to someone else?”

Buxton Peak Book One: Who Is Ian Taylor? Twitter Challenge
My new novella, BuxtonPeak Book One: Who Is Ian Taylor? was greatly influenced by the latest CD
by One Direction, called Made In the A.M. and by the rock band Daughtry.
In my mind, Ian Taylor looks
like Niall Horan from One Direction.
The band Buxton Peak sounds
like the rock band Daughtry.
My goal today is to try to get Niall Horan, One Direction,
and/or Daughtry to Re-tweet one of our Tweets!
If enough of us Tweet and Re-tweet about Niall Horan, OneDirection, and Daughtry in connection with my new novella Buxton Peak Book One: Who Is Ian Taylor? it might get their
attention.
If One Direction Re-tweets something, it will go out to (are
you ready for this?) 28.9 Million people!
Please help me make this happen by sharing one or more of
the following:
