What I’m working on:
Benson’s Cove, my first novel
Twenty-eight year old Addy Westcombe, tired of a dismal Seattle working life, her over- bearing fiancé and a demanding boss, decides it’s time to direct her own life. She never looks back as she boards a ferry to Whidbey Island to help her ailing aunt with the family book store she and her sister, Mallory, inherited some months before. On arriving in the seaside town of Benson’s Cove Addy finds the book store in shambles, the town with a dying economy, & locals who don’t like newcomers or tourists in their midst. A bossy aunt, unhelpful sister and an all-consuming legal issue regarding the land on which the book store sits leave Addy longing to return to her simple life in Seattle. Attraction to the town’s most eligible bachelor, veterinarian Logan Archer, who is also a single-parent to a nine year old, proves to be one compliction more than she can handle. Over the summer Addy must come to terms with what’s most important to her, and the dreams she must let go…

Just read through the pieces in you blog, Ruth…some lovely thoughts about some horrendous circumstances. I can hardly wait to read Benson’s Cove, by the way. And yes, I like Prudy Parker as a heroine, too.
Thanks, Terri.; I’m excited about it all now – all over again. The piece I’m thinking about for the Woman’s Story for Publishers Syndicate is the Taste the Honey on my

I’ve certainly read orst chapters. 🙂
