BOOK NEWS for November 2023: TWO Releases!

Love’s Fingerprints: a short story collection

Out now on all platforms (Amazon, Apple, B&N, Kobo, and more) is a women’s fiction short story collection for readers who enjoy a mix of relationship-focused tales. Some are happier, others sadder. Some are about first love while others explore life after divorce. There are young people and long married couples, too. 

And…also available everywhere (Amazon, Apple, B&N, Kobo, and more) — released on November 26th — is a light & fun romantic comedy based on my longtime love of the classic Gregory Peck/Audrey Hepburn film Roman Holiday!!! If you’re a rom-com lover and would like an escapist Vespa ride through Rome, check out this novella! Story details are HERE!!

For some extra literary fun, take a peek at this page on Shepherd.com where I got to share my list of the “Best Romance Novels Inspired by British Classics, and this page, too, where I mention my “3 Favorite Reads in 2023.”
