Local author releases second book
AUSTINTOWN
Poland resident Julie Arduini recently released her second romantic fiction novel, “Entangled: Surrendering the Past.”
Arduini will discuss the writing and development of “Entangled” at a book club that meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays starting Aug. 9 at Highway Tabernacle, 3000 S. Raccoon Road.
This is the second book in her three-part series “Surrendering Time,” formerly known as “Adirondack Surrender Romance.”
“Entangled” features characters from her best-selling book on Amazon, “Entrusted: Surrendering the Present.”
For this publication, Arduini left her previous publisher and created her own platform called Surrendered Scribe Media. She plans to use this to market herself as an encouraging speaker and not just a writer.
She plans to release “Engaged,” the final book in her series, at the end of the year.
“Entangled” is free with a Kindle Unlimited account. It can be purchased for $2.99 as an e-book or $9.99 in print.
