News: Deseret Book's spring fiction titles

Deseret Book has posted excerpts from its three spring fiction titles on its Mormon Life Web site.


The Mist of Quarry Harbor by Morgan Adair appears to be a typical Mormon romance novel. Or at least a phrase from the excerpt -- "a pair of brown eyes above a strong jaw and a rectangular smile that seemed to light up the world" -- suggests so.

The Secret Journal of Brett Colton by Kay Lynn Mangum seems to be part of the young adult fiction genre. A young woman discovers the journal that her brother wrote for her while he was dying of leukemia.

Fairhaven Chronicles, Book 3: Through Cloud and Sunshine is the continuation of Sharon Downing Jarvis's series focusing on a bishop looking over his flock -- an LDS ward located in the southern United States.

Deseret Book is clearly aiming for the core LDS market here.
