FINDING EDEN
Coming August 2017 – The first book in the EDEN FALLS Series.
Originally, Finding Eden was one book about four friends living in a small town in Central Washington State. Suddenly a stalker, a brother, and two cousins appeared in my manuscript. After reading the notes of an editor—“What do you mean I have too many characters?”—I decided to split the book into four. Two secondary characters didn’t feel this was very fair, since they also had a story to tell. So, what started out as a single book has grown into a series featuring a whole town of characters.
You will meet bird-like Rita, snarky Stella, and mean-girl Misty. You’ll fall in love with Charlie and see how Alex uses the Victorian language of flowers.
Best-selling author Colton McCreed flies into remote but charming Eden Falls for the summer to study small town life for his next horrific murder mystery. As his research pulls him into the community, his life becomes entwined with Mayor Alex Blackwood and her exuberant son. Colton’s bitter past left him believing he’s immune to love, but he soon finds himself drawn to Alex and her happy-go-lucky kid.
Alex Blackwood is not only the mayor of Eden Falls, she’s a business owner, the mother of six-year-old Charlie, and a widow. While love for her son fills her soul, the crushing reality of the death of her husband, who was killed while serving his country, is always near. As she struggles to find balance between her busy life and the challenge of raising a young son on her own, dating someone who’s leaving at the end of summer runs dead last on her to-do list.
Charlie’s impromptu invitations to dinner throw Colton and Alex into a world of discovery, shattering her image of Mr. Right and his belief forever happiness is out of reach.
Colton must move past his fear of attachment or risk losing his opportunity at love.
Come fall in love in Eden Falls
