I’m so happy and excited to introduce the new book, Goodbye, Magnolia, and cover design here … on the BLOG.
I don’t have an exact release date yet, but I will say …
COMING SPRING 2015!
What’s it about?
Wedding photography is Maggie’s passion. The art of capturing a moment forever in time is magical to her, and she’s worked hard to become the best of the best. Week after week, she works with couples as they plan their happily ever afters, but she hasn’t been so lucky in love.
Behind the camera, it’s easy to hide from the pain and rejection of her past. The life she has made for herself is safe and predictable, until the owner of a rival photography studio sets up shop in her small town and comes to her with an unexpected proposal. Suddenly, everything she has worked so hard to build is threatened and her simple, controlled life is thrown into chaos.
As she travels the state of Michigan photographing weddings, she struggles to keep her business afloat and the wall around her heart intact. But along the way, she learns more about loyalty and love than she ever imagined.* * *
A few thoughts
I’m venturing into a new genre with this book. Contemporary romance or women’s fiction or chick lit, whatever you want to call it. What it will most certainly be is a “clean” read, as in something I wouldn’t be embarrassed to let my daughter read. It will be full of friendships, family, secrets, grand gestures, and love, of course.
Most of all, this is a story about letting go and learning to love again. … And weddings. Lots of weddings.
