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).

 

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):
