Unexpected

I am happy to announce the release of my latest book. Unexpected is set in Oakboro, North Carolina, in 1961. Oliver Hartsell had no idea when he went to repair Mr. Austin's windows that he'd end up proposing to the man's daughter, but that's exactly what happened. He didn't regret it, however, because he’d secretly been in love with Marie for a long time. He doubts that she feels the same way about him, but he's determined that she will. Yet, life can be hard and has a way of throwing unexpected surprises. 

I enjoyed doing the research for this novel. Although all the main characters are totally fictitious, the town, businesses, and some of the minor characters were real. To make sure I got it right, I had special readers from Oakboro who double-checked the story for setting accuracy. I hope you enjoy reading Oliver and Marie's story as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

Since Amazon is now taking a week or more to link together the different formats of a book, the print and Kindle editions are presently listed separately. Hopefully, they will be linked soon. An Audible edition will also be coming out early spring. Here are the links for you to check it out:
