Sherrill Willis Announces New Release

Author Sherrill Willis is pleased to announce the sequel to Ruby Lake: A Wedding in Ruby Lake.

A Wedding in Ruby Lake finds Sydney Myers and Zeke Greyson planning the perfect wedding, only to receive several unexpected, but not unwanted, houseguests. Illana Garet, Sydney’s city-savvy best friend, decides to come rather unexpectedly as does Zeke’s friend Tyler Shepard. They both arrive just in time to be embroiled into a new threat which proves to be far more dangerous than anyone at first had believed.

From the meddling ladies at the local coffee shop, to the machinations of a psychopath, A Wedding in Ruby Lake is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and a few new characters to get to know. Join the Ruby Lake gang as they find out, mostly the hard way, that sometimes walls need to be torn down in order for a better foundation to be built.

A Wedding in Ruby Lake was released on August 15, 2012 and is available from Amazon US and Amazon UK.
