EXCERPT FROM “SUNBEAMS FROM THE HEART”:
"That Christmas, when Tessa returned to the small town where her great aunt and uncle had spent most of their lives, the rooftops were white with snow. Shop windows glinted with decorations of reds and greens and golds and silvers. A Christmas tree with twinkling lights, shimmering garlands and a flashing star on top stood beside the town hall entrance. Outside, huddled together on the pavement, a small group of warmly wrapped people sung old familiar carols. But for Tessa it would be a bleak Christmas..."

BRING SOME SUNBEAMS INTO YOUR LIFE!

 


“A summer breeze ruffled Peggy's hair. She gazed upwards at the old Devon house, her home so many decades ago. It had been built sideways against a steep embankment and stood regally on its own above a row of terraced dwellings. Strangers would be living there now, but she had to see it one more time...” -  Excerpt from my short story "The Rose Bower", which appears in "Sunbeams from The Heart: A Collection of Twelve Romantic Short Stories".

This short story was also featured in the July 18th, 2014, "Summer Collector's Edition" of "The Lady" magazine, U.K.

Sunbeams is available worldwide on Amazon as an e-book at $2.99 and in paperback (regular print $6.99 and large print $7.99).

THE ENTICING MISTLETOE!




Cold, snowy days can often be as romantic as hot, sultry beaches! I remember the mistletoe we all used to try and manoeuvre our way under as giggling teenage girls at Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties! We hoped that special guy would see that we were standing beneath that little piece of greenery and he would head our way!

Mistletoe features in one of my stories in “Sunbeams from the Heart – A Collection of Twelve Romantic Short Stories”, available on Amazon as an e-book and in paperback.

SUNBEAMS FROM THE HEART NOW AVAILABLE IN LARGE PRINT!

“Sunbeams from the Heart” is now available in LARGE PRINT!

“What a pleasure to come across twelve wholesome and romantic short stories as found in Sunbeams From The Heart by Fay Knowles,” writes one reviewer. “While each story is unique, all share that one common thread we humans yearn for: LOVE. Page after page, Knowles artfully describes native landscapes, to the point the reader can almost inhale the scent of flowers. One can’t help but smile while Knowles steers the reader and characters along that slightly bumpy path of love.”

“Sunbeams from the Heart” is available as an e-book and in paperback from Amazon online stores around the world.
