Hi!
I’m so excited to tell you about the LOVE ON MAIN STREET Anthology coming in February. Yes, I have a story in this amazing collection of love stories AND!!! *tingles* today is the day we share the cover with you!
But first, let me tell you a little about my story. It’s called Silver For Gold, which is based on a quote: “Silence is golden, speech is silver.” It’s an old saying that means saying nothing is better than saying something.
That’s always been the way Ethan Lewis has lived his life… in as much silence as he could get away with. Talking causes more trouble than it’s worth.
Until he meets Alli Santana.
Alli and Ethan are both servers in a high-end restaurant in The Hamptons, Long Island’s playground for the wealthy and entitled. When Ethan sees how Alli is treated, he must choose — stay silent and let her lose her job or speak up and possibly lose his.
If you’ve read any of my young adult novels, you already know I love to write characters with the courage to stand up for what’s right, even when it’s not the popular decision. None of us are born brave. I think courage is something that’s sort of forced out of us, in some difficult situation or incident that makes us realize we’re on our own. No one else is going to save us.
Those are my favorite stories and those are my favorite characters to write.
I hope you’ll love Ethan and Alli in Silver for Gold!
Now, here’s the big cover reveal.
Are you ready? I hope you love it and please share the news far and wide!
