If you’re looking for a tender, romantic read that’s not too sweet…
I need to start my blueberry pruning, but I wanted to share this before it’s too late.
The Hopeful Romantic, my 3rd Irish novel, was selected for a Kobo Books Free ebook promotion!
Also free at lots of your favorite ebook stores, the story has a special place in my heart.
Years ago, a kind, creative friend—we’d bonded over our mutual love of Ireland—gave me a card. I loved it so much I taped it to my journaling notebook.
The card pictured an Irish farm, a cow grazing peacefully near a lovely ancient barn built of golden stone.
I decided, I’m going to write about that farm someday…
In The Hopeful Romantic, a Dublin wife and mother risks her already shaky marriage when she rekindles her friendship with her husband’s old mate. Kerry feels trapped in her cubicle-bound job, and longs to have a farm.
Well…I’ve been there! The losses and relationship conflicts Kerry experiences weren’t mine, but her story poured out of me. And ss it turns out, she might not be the only “hopeful romantic” in her marriage!
Quick heads up: The Hopeful Romantic will be free for only a limited time…
For the rest of this week—til Easter—The Hopeful Romantic ebook will be free at Kobo—just scroll down to the “Free Women’s Fiction” carousel.
The ebook is also free at Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and just about every other ebook retailer you can think of, until early next week. (But not Amazon—due to technical issues. Sorry.)
I hope you’ll take a look!
