I’m so excited to have signed a contract for my novel titled FRUIT JAR TREASURE.
Washington State, Summer 1901
Discontented, Jessica Smoak must get out of her brother’s home and away from her overbearing sister-in-law. She corresponds with a woman who allegedly has gold-filled jars buried on her property, that no one has been able to locate for decades. The woman agrees to a fifty/fifty split. Jessica isn’t afraid of a little hard work to secure a new life.
Shaun MacLaurin is a bookkeeper for a local business as well as caring for his wheelchair-bound mother. They are barely scraping by. He doesn’t believe in the legendary treasure. Though his mother’s heart is in turning their home into a boarding house, he considers selling before the bank takes it out from under them.
As Jessica digs into the past to secure her future, will Shaun bury her dreams? Or will Jessica’s crusade to find fictitious treasure quell their budding romance?
Besides loving a good treasure hunt, I’ve named my heroine and hero after my daughter and son-in-law. FRUIT JAR TREASURE will be released the first month of book club. I’m excited to be writing for this new publisher. Not only do I like her publishing philosophy, but she is a good friend.
A young woman, wanting to dig up a new life, clashes with a landowner who could bury her dream forever.
