This week, Guatemalan LDS author, Marcia Argueta Mickelson , (another contributor to forthcoming book, Famous Family Nights) is giving away a copy of her latest novel, Pickup Games.
Marcia is the author of Star Shining Brightly, and Reasonable Doubt. Pickup Games is the highly praised sequel to Reasonable Doubt, as can be seen in the reviews below:
"Pickup Games is a story that will keep you up late then stay with you long after you've read the last page. It will warm your heart and take you on a journey of love and healing. Fresh, fun, witty and charming, Pickup Games is a wonderful book you won't want to miss."- Michele Ashman Bell, author of A Modest Proposal.
“I flew through the pages of this riveting third book by Marcia Mickelson. The Pride-and-Prejudice-esque antagonism between Cara and Mick had me at “Where have you been hiding?” and kept me on the edge of my seat as I neglected dishes, errands, and my e-mail inbox to see what would become of this seemingly-doomed relationship.
“Mickelson’s choice to use a television show about college basketball as the setting for the meeting between Cara and Mick makes this book fresh, original, and interesting. I felt like I was watching a highlights reel on ESPN as I read Mickelson’s vivid descriptions of the game, and her knowledge of sports reporting put me in the thick of a world I wouldn’t have otherwise
known. I never liked basketball so much!” - Elodia Strain, author of Previously EngagedAlthough Marcia was born in Guatemala, she grew up mostly in New Jersey, USA. She is a graduate of Brigham Young University and lives in Texas with her husband and three sons. When she’s not writing, Marcia enjoys playing at the beach, reading, blogging, watching movies, and making train layouts for her boys.
