I think I probably said this last time for 'One Snowy Week in Springhollow' but I can't quite believe that I am getting to say it again. Today I get to bring you the cover for my fifth book 'The Little Barn of Dreams' and I feel utterly blessed, grateful, excited, nervous and everything in between.
Boy meets girl meets... happy ending? Flo has one summer to make it happen...
Quirky bookworm Florence Danver spends most of her time lost in whimsical daydreams about characters from her favourite books. Who wouldn't rather be fighting dragons or falling in love with impossibly perfect heroes than stuck behind a computer doing boring data entry all day? But when she loses her job, Flo knows it's time to make some changes.
Her beloved Nanna Margot encourages her to spend a week at Camp Calla Lily, but this is a place she hasn't been since she lost her mum and dad, and her return is bittersweet... until she meets Jo Hadlee.
Fellow dreamer Jo is a writer and soon the pair are inseparable as they talk books and build castles in the air. But what happens when the fantasy bubble bursts and real life comes roaring back in? The real world is a place of pain and loss where bosses frown upon her distracted air, where people tease her, and where nothing ever has a happy ending.
If Florence wants to turn her fairy-tale summer with perfectly imperfect Jo into a happily-ever-after of her own, she will have to accept that love, like life, is best when it's messy and very, very real.
There you have it, the blurb for book number five. I know I say it with all of my books but again this one has a very dear place in my heart. I think I'm actually the most nervous about this one too as Florence is incredibly special to me. She means a lot to me in how she sees the world and who she is in the world. She doesn't quite understand it the way most people do. She believes in books and living in her imagination and I adore that about her. I hope you will love her too.
