A Little Light Magic is a Fresh Fiction Pick of the Day!

Those of you who subscribe to Fresh Fiction's "Fresh Pick of the Day" newsletter saw A Little Light Magic come into your inbox this morning. The Fresh Pick is chosen completely by reader vote, so this is quite an honor!

Here's a snip from Fresh Fiction's review of ALLM :-)

"A moving story that will bring tears to your eyes and make you laugh out loud. Joy Nash is an absolutely brilliant genius. I laughed out loud, cried crocodile tears and had butterflies in my stomach while reading this beautiful story. I recommend it to everyone." For more, click here!


Okay, so no one has ever called me an "absolutely brilliant genius" before, and I have to confess I think that's just a wee bit exaggerated, but hey, it feels good!

Thanks to all of you who voted for my book at Fresh Fiction!

What I love about Summer - Sarongs

Days 'till Memorial Day: 18

Days 'till A Little Light Magic: 19

Days 'till the Summer Solstice: 45

Whoever invented sarongs has my undying love and devotion.

I suspect it was some forty-ish woman who suddenly realized her legs didn't look *quite* as good as they had when she was a young thing. So she grabbed the first piece of pretty cloth she could find and...the rest is history.

For those of us who prefer not to advertise our jiggling thighs--except for that mad dash from lounge chair to ocean, lake or pool--sarongs are a godsend.

You can wrap them any which way - short or long, as a dress or as a skirt. Sarongs take the angst out of wearing a bathing suit, with patterns and colors make you feel pretty and sexy at the same time! Huzzah!

Joy Nash's Countdown to Summer


Days 'till Memorial Day: 24

Days 'till A Little Light Magic: 25

Days 'till the Summer Solstice: 51


Thanks for joining my "Countdown to Summer" Shoutout! It's going to be a fun party! I'll be 'shouting out' about what I love about summer, sharing some funny summer memories, posting excerpts of A Little Light Magic, and giving away lots of prizes - books and other goodies!

Summer has always been my favorite season. While spring, fall and winter have their charms, to me, summer means fun and the Jersey Shore! I've visited the shore (or, as the locals say "gone down the shore") every summer of my life. Some years, it was only for a weekend, but I still made it there. No wonder I was inspired to write a book with summer at the shore as a backdrop. A Little Light Magic truly has a special place in my heart.

Tour the Jersey Shore

You might be a long way from the Jersey Shore, but that doesn't mean you can't visit via the Internet! A Little Light Magic takes place in Margate and Atlantic City, New Jersey, which are located on the barrier island of Absecon. Hop over to my website for a tour of some quirky places on the island that have (so far) missed the wrecking ball.




Number One on the list? A six-story elephant.

Coming Tomorrow.... What I Love about Summer: School's Out!


Prizes to come...books by Joy Nash, Angie Fox, Emily Bryan, Gerri Russell...and more!
