Contemporary Romance by Justine Wittich
Mining inspector Sabina Hanlon despises surface mining, so it’s disconcerting to find herself attracted to Chad Peters, manager of Calico Mining. Before long, she’s admiring what he accomplishes – and finds herself involved not only in his life, but in the lives of his extended family. Originally pubished by Thomas Bouregy
Justine "Tina" Wittich has written "something" ever since she learned to scribble letters. Journalism sounded good, so she got her degree in journalism, but then she worked in radio, and liked writing radio copy better. But then she got married and they moved all the time, and about the time they settled she had children and a traveling husband and there were swimming classes (Tina taught the synchronized swim group) and tennis lessons and all that good stuff. She worked as a secretary, but soon took over editorship of a regional magazine, where she realized what she'd always suspected fiction is much more fun to write than fact. To support her unpublished writing habit, she freelanced public relations, and helped business college students look for jobs, after first teaching them professional development.
