THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
BOOK V … HEATHER
BY L. DIANE WOLFE
When confidence turns to frustration…
A new beginning awaits Heather Jennings. The position at Clemson means she will finally realize her dream of coaching basketball. Heather is ready to focus on her duties, using sheer force if necessary to prove her independence.
Sadly, her triumph is hampered as her father and greatest advocate lies dying of cancer. Battling her grief, she must also deal with a sister who appears incapable of responsibility or achievement. And once basketball season begins, a talented but cocky player who resembles her in every manner challenges all that remains of Heather’s patience.
Heather’s life changes when she encounters a man capable of handling her bold and feisty attitude. Straightforward and smug, he entices her to date him, and despite his gruff nature shows a great capacity for compassion. However, the last thing Heather needs is a serious relationship with a man equally fixated on work and opposed to marriage…

Congratulations Diane! I know you've got mixed feelings about this release (and the end of your series), but I know the excitement is the biggest emotion. :)

Mystery Writing is Murder
Excitement, fear, anticipation... Sorrow hasn't kicked in yet. It did when I finished this book and will probably hit once more in a couple months...
Congratulations on the release and much success on the tour. Thanks for making Thoughts in Progress a part of it. Wishing you the best for your next project.
How bitter sweet but you would want it to end any other way? What an achievement! Five books in the same series! We as writers know the characters won't let you stop until they tell all the story. Amazing. Great reviews. Best wishes for great sales and the writing fever as it arrives with the next book idea.
Congratulations on the big day!! Wow, what a tour!! Hope your sales are through the roof!
Congratulations on such a fabulous end to your series. (And to the beginning of something new.)
And I love your recap of blogs you visit. The rest of us get to click away and enjoy your favorites for the month.

Congratulations, Diane! What a great way to end a series with a book that rates "a perfect 10." Way to go!
Ahhh! Congrats! What a surreal day this must be, even if it is your fifth time! I can't wait for my release day. :)
Thank you Karen, Tamika, and Lee!
Steph - you rock! Thanks for hosting me on this tour.
Donna thank YOU for reviewing it!
And Michelle - my red-headed friend! Thanks for reviewing and hosting me and ofr telling others!
Jane, it is a great way to end it. Next time I'll try to begin the series with a 10 as well. LOL
Thank you, Elana - actually book #6, as I have a non-fiction title as well. And so far, the day is surreal...
Wow! Congratulations! I'm sure it's sad, yet exhilerating at the same time.
Your books love wonderful over there at the top! Great covers!
Massive congratulations!
What brilliant reviews you've garnered. Well done!
Jai
Congratulations Diane! You're quite the inspiration for budding authors like me! Keep it up, and I'll keep reading! Thanks for posting about all your progress... it's invaluable information.
Lisa, it is!
Mayra, thank you. I'm pleased with the covers and design. They look SO cool together!
Thanks Jai.
B. Miller - thank you and maybe someday I'll post about all the things that have sent me in reverse. Of course, I don't want to scare anyone...
Good luck with this, Diane. Love the lineup for books, domino style! A great visual of your success.

Congartulations, my dear!
This is so exciting!
Congratulations, Diane! You are my inspiration for my own series that I need to devote attention to.
I'm excited for you. But I bet it is incredibly bittersweet. It's like your child graduated high school and is going away on his own. Wait! That's what happened to me in real life and he's studying to be a basketball coach! Diane, how timely your book.
Best of luck for high sales and touching lives,
Angie
Congratulations on all your writing successes and this wonderful bittersweet day! Cheers~
Congratulations! No one deserves success more than you.
xoxo
