    <title>Website Launches for New "Ardor Point" Novel Series</title>
    <link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ArdorPoint/~3/vpRLoFwzEOg/website-launches-new-ardor-point-novel-series</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Press&amp;nbsp;Release:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indie author and publisher J. Timothy King has launched &lt;a href="http://ardorpoint.com/"&gt;ArdorPoint.com&lt;/a&gt;, the news and bonuses site for his new &amp;#8220;Ardor Point&amp;#8221; series of contemporary romance novels, set at Ardor Point, a fictional, romantic, seaside vacation spot in&amp;nbsp;Maine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="dquo"&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;/span&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve gotten a wonderful reception from ordinary readers over the first book,&amp;#8221; Tim said at a private question-and-answer session, &amp;#8220;but I always intended this to be an ongoing series. Each book will have different characters, each facing a different set of problems, but all of them will explore the human&amp;nbsp;condition.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the Ashes of Courage&lt;/em&gt;, the first Ardor Point novel was released for sale earlier this month. The author is currently working on the second book in the&amp;nbsp;series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="http://ardorpoint.com/"&gt;ArdorPoint.com&lt;/a&gt; for more information on &lt;em&gt;From the Ashes of Courage&lt;/em&gt; and other Ardor Point&amp;nbsp;novels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ArdorPoint/~4/vpRLoFwzEOg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

    <title>From the Ashes of Courage (Ardor Point #1)</title>

&lt;div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em"&gt;&lt;img src="http://shop.jtimothyking.com/files/imagecache/product/node/33/9780981692548-frontcover-550.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid lightgray; border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gail Bishop is a headstrong, driven, single-minded businesswoman, a successful independent professional at only 29 years old. But she still feels empty. Eddie Chase is a fun-loving real-estate agent who made a mint in the boom market, now fast running out of money. And their friends set them up on a blind date, unaware that many years ago, they were once married to each&amp;nbsp;other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, both are taken aback by their feelings for each other at a romantic, seaside cottage on Ardor Point, and by the impact this will have on the rest of their lives. This long-languishing relationship that Gail thought was surely dead, could it hold the secret, the meaning of life that she&amp;#8217;s looking&amp;nbsp;for?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A heart-wrenching story of human kindness and love without&amp;nbsp;strings.&lt;/p&gt;
