Original Dec. 20, 2018 post:
Today, I depart from my usual focus on reality. Instead, I concentrate on my new novella about fictional life in pioneer Florida.
This is harder for me than you might think. Catholics are raised to steer clear of calling attention to themselves. Yet anyone who writes today knows the reality of the publishing business. Today's authors must self-promote. So here I am.
Trust in Love is novella length, 33,750 words. It's part of the Persimmon Hollow Legacy series but each book in the series can be read alone, in any order. They are individual stories. All are historical romances that take place in a community of faith and values.
Here's the back-cover blurb for Trust in Love, which is available for $2.99 in ebook and $5.99 in paperback:
Irish immigrant Margaret Murphy has many talents, but waitressing isn’t one of them. A hotel waitress job in pioneer Florida is her last chance to help her family stave off starvation. But she’s in danger of being fired. Will the love that blooms with a fellow worker, an immigrant from Italy, be a saving grace or a complicated distraction?
As with my blog about everyday life, the novella centers on daily living. My main characters are immigrants who work in one of the hotels that, in reality, were popular in late 19th century Florida. My hotel is fictional, but the long hours of work were real in that time and place. Tourists were wealthy and demanded and received excellence.
Trust in Love is available from the following vendors and also in some library digital collections.
Amazon (ebook and paperback)
Barnes & Noble (ebook)
Kobo (ebook)
