In Mixed Signals, Liz draws on that memorable decade to create WPER, an oldies station in Abingdon , Virginia . The Barter Theater was included with thanks to her experience with amateur drama productions, and the ten hot-air balloon ascents she weathered while a broadcaster were also put to use. Her heroine, Belle, marries a radio station engineer…just as Liz did nearly twenty years ago. But there the parallels end in this winsome tale with two happy endings.

Fictional Book By Liz Curtis Higgs. From Library Journal Christian fiction isn't known for humorous books, so this title is a special joy. In her fiction debut, Higgs (Help, I'm Laughing and I Can't Get Up, Thomas Nelson, 1998) brings to life the usually ebullient but currently down-in-the-dumps Belle O'Brien. Not only has Belle lost her latest radio job owing to a format change but she really wants to get married and has yet to find the right man. Reluctantly accepting an offer from a former mentor, Belle relocates to Abingdon, VA. Not only is the job a pleasant change, but Belle soon finds herself needing to decide which one of three men is right for her. This bouncy romantic tale of a devout Christian woman looking for love should please most readers seaching for a fun summer read. Recommended. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
