My
initial idea for A Bouquet of Brides Collection popped into my head years before I started
pulling the proposal together. The inspiration title that came to me was A
Bouquet of Brides for the Bakersfield Bachelors. But coordinating so many
stories by so many different authors can be quite challenging, time consuming,
and confusing. So instead of having all the brides end up in the same location,
I held fast to the flower theme. The collection bloomed and grew from there.
Flowers have been depicted for centuries in paintings,
sculptures, music, books, tapestries, china, needlepoint, almost anywhere you
can think of. Flowers have been used to honor important ceremonies and
traditions, enhance environments, and of course to express feelings, especially
love. Flowers mean many things to people.
My favorite flower is the carnation. I love its sweet,
sweet smell and how it’s ruffly, almost lacey like. What’s your favorite flower?
“Holly & Ivy,” my #HistoricalRomance novella in A #BouquetOfBrides, takes place in 1890, in Washington State. A young woman accompanies her impetuous younger sister on her trip across the country to be a Christmas mail-order bride and is helped by a gallant stranger.
In celebration of the
release of “Holly & Ivy”, I’m
giving away (US only) a print copy
of A BOUQUET OF BRIDES Collection. To enter, subscribe to my newsletter and receive a free short story. I’ll be drawing
for the book at the end of January.
