Hi WeWriWa hoppers. Welcome back. I've still been work on To the Wind, a historical novella set in 1852. To the Wind is the sequel to Sweet Lenora, which is coming out in July. I've gotten my characters to port in San Francisco. Of course, this doesn't mean trouble is behind them.

Sweet Lenora is written in the hero, Anton's voice. Lenora is the heroine.  Here's my eight:

She squeezed my hand so fiercely that I thought she might break the bones. “ Something else troubles you, Anton.”

            “They plan to fire the ship.”

            Lenora let go her grasp. “Destroy Sweet Lenora?”  

            I nodded my consent. “It is common practice here, for a ship so ravaged by fever. They do not want an epidemic in port.”

Introducing Sweet Lenora

I'm very pleased to announce the upcoming release of Sweet Lenora, a historical romance novella coming to Champagne Books next July as part of the Dark Heroes series.

Here's the Book Blurb:

Lenora Brewer’s family owns the largest shipyard in Salem Massachusetts and Lenora, as her father’s only living child, is given free rein to learn the business. When Lenora’s father is killed in a carriage accident, her relatives arrange a marriage to a wealthy investor who is rumored to have beaten his first wife to death.

            Lenora devises a scheme to stowaway on The Sweet Lenora, a ship named for her. 

The last thing Anton Boudreaux needs is a naïve young woman stowing away on his ship. The dark and daring captain has secrets of his own to protect.

            When Sweet Lenora encounters a dangerous storm off the coast of Brazil, Lenora and Anton find in each other the courage and tenacity to brave the elements. As their love for one another grows it becomes a force to be reckoned with—and it will be sorely tested.

Stay tuned for more details!
