Spotlight: Lost and Found by Karey White

Tour Schedule

Lost and Found by Karey White Lydia was supposed to have an adventurous and exciting summer. Instead she's done nothing more than read and eat takeout. Now it's time to go home, and what does she have to show for it? A big fat nothing. Unless, of course, her trip to the airport somehow turns into something more than just a flight home. Blake feels like he's been sent on a wild goose chase. While work is piling up back in Denver, he's on the other side of the country, hunting for some mysterious box that his grandfather left him. Well, no more. Nothing inside that box could possibly be more important than the opportunity to make it as the youngest partner at his firm. So he's going home, and that's that. But that's before he discovers his flight has been cancelled. When these two strangers meet at the airport, they make a split-second decision to search for the box together. Maybe with both of them on the hunt, Lydia can have her adventure and Blake can find the box. And maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll even find some romance.

  Excerpt 1:

When Lydia approached her seat a few minutes later, an airport security officer with a shiny face and a little paunch was standing in the aisle by her suitcase. “Is this your bag?” he asked. “Yes. Is everything okay?” Why hadn’t she paid attention to the voice in her head? “It appeared to be left unattended. In the future, I’d advise you to either take your bag with you or move it closer to your boyfriend when you leave.” Lydia shot a surprised glance at the movie star, and he shrugged. “Sorry, babe. I told him you’d be right back, and I offered to move your bag over by me, but he wanted me to wait for you to come back.” Lydia almost choked. She knew he was just rescuing her from the security guard, but no one had ever, ever called Lydia “babe” before and certainly no one as handsome as Ryan Gosling. It had a wonderful ring to it. Was her racing heart because of being questioned by an officer of the law or because this man had just called her “babe?” Lydia dragged her distracted gaze back to the much less interesting man standing by her bag. “I’m so sorry. I just had to make a little run to the ladies’ room. It won’t happen again.” “See that it doesn’t. Airport security is no laughing matter.” Was she laughing? “Have a nice flight.” Lydia sat down by her bag. “You should probably move over here by me since you’re my girlfriend. We don’t want to make him suspicious.” “Oh. Of course. I should have thought of that.” Did the movie star want Lydia to sit by him? Lydia rolled her eyes at her silliness. He was just trying to keep from being hassled any further. He went back to working on his laptop as she moved her things across the aisle. “Sorry about that,” Lydia whispered. “No problem.” He looked up from his computer and smiled. Oh. My. Wow! Up close his dimple was even cuter. The bigger the smile, the deeper the dimple. “Are you taking a trip to Denver?” he asked.

Seventeen-year-old Tracy Miller met the love of her life...thirty years after her own death.

Tracy was working at the House of Horrors at the Amazing Lands Theme Park when the fire broke out. Instead of running, she lost her life trying to save eleven-year-old Mack. Now thirty years have passed, and suddenly everything changes with the arrival of two new ghosts: a little girl named Ashley and a cute seventeen-year-old boy named Josh.

Josh would do anything for Tracy, but can he help her let go of the past and accept his love?

RIDE OF YOUR LIFE is a bittersweet, romantic, YA ghost story that was inspired by a true event: the Great Adventure Haunted Castle fire, which killed eight teenagers in 1984. It is a fantasy novel about undying love, and it won third-place in Smart Writer’s Write It Now (W.I.N.) contest in the YA category, which was judged by Alex Flinn, the author of BEASTLY and CLOAKED.

In the ghost world, what you believe is what you get. The only question is...do you believe in love?

Hang on. Love can be as terrifying as a roller coaster, but it could also be the RIDE OF YOUR LIFE.

Excerpt

"Stories,

I love stories. I’m thinking I’m not alone in that, either. Billions of

dollars are spent on novels, movies, and even video games. Why? God

made us to function through story. Not only did He reveal Himself in

the greatest-selling Book of all time, but He made story a vital part of

how we communicate with each other.

Think about it. We are a storytelling people. From the moment

we are born, growing up through school and beyond, we love hearing

stories being read and told to us. We love sharing experiences that

we have lived, seen, or heard. For me, as a storyteller, preacher, and

speaker, stories provide the opportunity to communicate in a powerful

way with people in everyday language with down-to-earth tales.

I think back to my own days at St. Mary Catholic School in

kindergarten and how we loved to sit in a circle and listen to Mrs.

Richard read to us. We learned from the plot, the characters, and their

actions. She read with a passion and belief that captivated our little

minds. Most importantly, the stories struck at our hearts.

Why do you think Jesus told stories to make His point? Indeed,

He is a master storyteller in all of His parables found in the four

Gospels. He would use everyday situations that people understood. He

used characters that people would recognize in themselves and others.

Even more interesting, Jesus didn’t always provide the answers. He

let people figure out His meaning by telling them, “He who has ears,

let them hear.”

God gave me a very interesting life story, as you’re going to see

throughout this book. I like to think He gave me this life so I could tell

stories from my journey. As you might guess, when I travel to speak

at different places, I am often asked two questions. First, “Are your

stories true?” and, second, “How do these experiences always happen

to you?”

My answer is simple: Yes, the stories are true, and yes, they do

happen to me, and they happen to you! The real question that needs

to be asked is, “Do you and I have the eyes, the ears, and the hearts —

not to mention the minds — to recognize the wonderful opportunities

and teachable moments from the experiences of our day?”

Through sorrow, pain, joys, and exultations, our experiences

teach us; they stretch us. For me, stories empower and illumine the

life of Our God who is ever present with us on this journey through our

experiences that we call “Life.”

Allow me to tell you a few…"
