Overthinking plots since 1989 :)

Happy Spring!

Hi

Hope spring has sprung wherever you are. Here in north Idaho we’re well on our way. I’ve got some tomatoes and leeks growing in my windowsill and some peas in the garden. Lots to share this newsletter so let’s hop to it.

First up, if you’re new to my list … WELCOME! I’m delighted to have you here. Unless there’s something really special going on, like a book launch, you’ll only hear from me once a month. Don’t want to wear out my welcome 😀

Current work in progress

I’m hard at work on The Art of New Beginnings. Book three in my Ragin’ Moon Refuge series. Here’s the brief (not very polished) summary I promised last month:

After five years in prison for a crime she didn't commit, 28-year-old Morgan Mayfield is finally free but faces a world that has turned against her. Seeking anonymity and a fresh start, she travels to Big Pine, MT, where fond childhood memories of her grandmother linger. On her journey, she rescues a puppy and, desperate for a job, assumes a new identity as 'Aria Monroe' while finding shelter at the Ragin' Moon Refuge run by the warm hearted Lascari family.

As she settles in, Aria forms a bond with Gio Lascari, a passionate cook with dreams of chef school, but her past threatens to unravel when a former acquaintance recognizes her. With the specter of her old life looming, Aria must confront her secrets and the repercussions of her choices. Ultimately, she learns that embracing her past may be the key to building a new future.

April’s Recommendations

I have two for you this month! First up is Cherry Tree Island by Daisy Landish. Daisy writes clean and sweet romance and cozy mysteries that tug at readers’ heartstrings. Cherry Tree Island is about a woman whose search for solitude on a private island becomes a heartwarming journey of unexpected love when she crosses paths with the island’s owner, Jake. Click the cover to check it out.

Second up: Snowed in with the Grumpy Billionaire by Sophie Shelton. Love your romance with a dash of wit, a sprinkle of charm and plenty of slow-burn chemistry? Then I bet you’ll enjoy this fun, Hallmark-style story. Be sure to check it out!
