SUNBEAMS FROM THE HEART A WINNER!




Shortly after its release, my book “Sunbeams from the Heart: A Collection of Twelve Romantic Short Stories” made Amazon's top 100 paid best-sellers' list in the Literature & Fiction/Short stories category next to Stephen King’s “Hearts in Atlantis”! And the following month, "Sunbeams from the Heart" again made the top 100 paid bestsellers' list in the Literature & Fiction/Short Stories category, this time alongside Agatha Christie's “Miss Marple - The Complete Short Stories”!

One of my stories in "Sunbeams" is "The Rose Bower" (see excerpt). "Strawberry Cottage", Bideford, Devon, where I once lived as a child, inspired this romantic short story. The story was also published in "The Lady" magazine, England, along with some of the other stories in the book.

Sunbeams from the Heart is available on Amazon as an e-book and in paperback (regular and large print):

HURRICANE MATTHEW ARTICLE IN EDGEHILL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER


Edgehill Alumni Association Newsletter Autumn 2016 Page 8.
 Created and published by Jane Blackmore, Edgehill Alumni
Association President/Newsletter Editor and Database Secretary.

I was delighted to receive a lovely issue of The Edgehill Alumni Association Newsletter Autumn 2016, which includes my article “Hurricane Matthew goes down in history”! 

I won a place at Edgehill College, Bideford, Devon, as a day girl by virtue of having passed the “11+” exam to attend Grammar School. Edgehill College was an independent girls only boarding and day school when I was a student there, but it eventually became coeducational and then merged with Kingsley School in 2009.

"SUNBEAMS FROM THE HEART" HAS MADE OLD SCHOOL NEWS!


I am honoured that my book “Sunbeams from the Heart – A Collection of Twelve Romantic Short Stories” is mentioned in the 2016 Spring Issue of the Edgehill Alumni Association Newsletter.

Edgehill College, Bideford, Devon, England, is my old school. Jane Blackmore, the Newsletter Editor and one of my former classmates, has given “Sunbeams from the Heart” a great write up! The Newsletter apparently goes out to around 450 former Edgehillians.
