A Bird in the Hand eBook available after March 31, 2021

While it enjoys a autumn finish, much of the story takes place throughout the year of 1839 so I don’t think you need to hold off until leaves are falling to read it. That is, naturally, my unbiased opinion as the author :-). I AM working towards getting the whole series of four stories in paperback by the end of April or May at the latest. Book four is nearly finished, and when it is, it’s GO TIME for print!
I really enjoyed the company of Cherise and Christopher, your story protagonists for this book. They both love something that I do, fine art. I can’t keep parts of me from creeping into my stories, so I’m sure this won’t be the last artistic character or flower gardener you’ll meet. I could make the joke that so far I don’t have a cooking protagonist and that it’s for a good reason, but I am thinking my current heroine of book four just may have a penchant for baking despite my own apathy for the activity…. Anyway, without further ado- here is the ‘blurb’ (could there be a less attractive marketing word than ‘blurb’?? I think not).
My imagination runs something along these lines….
A Bird in the Hand - Book Three: Autumn of a Year in Cherrybrook
A Sweet Regency/Victorian, stand alone or book 3 in series: 106 pages
An Inconvenient Love
Miss Cherise Hamblin is nothing if not passionate about art, so when a new minor masterpiece is anonymously donated to a neighboring church, she rushes to see it. While there, she catches a glimpse of Mr. Morton, the new vicar, and meets his delightfully outspoken mother. This chance encounter only increases her curiosity about the mysterious Mortons. When Cherise is finally introduced to Mr. Morton, unexpected sparks ignite a secret friendship and she risks losing her heart to a man beneath her station; a man her parents will never accept.
Christopher Morton thought he would be content as the vicar of Wellsey. Discreetly wealthy, he settles into local life, but he finds money, friendliness, long walks and fine art won’t make up for his illegitimate birth when it comes to falling for a titled lady. With rumors about that she is to marry the son of his benefactor within the year, Christopher understands how hopeless it is to become attached to Miss Hamlin, and if his head could only convince his heart to let her go, he might yet be happy.
With pressures mounting, can art and fate bring them together or are Cherise and Christopher doomed to remain star crossed lovers?
