The Sound of the Sea

A Five Island Cove Novel

2023

Set sail to new adventures and escapes with eight best-selling authors in the exciting new Sail Away series! Single and over sixty... Those are the only boxes Jennifer Golden needs to check to be eligible for a ticket on the Silver Sails cruise line. She's taken a few solo trips with women her age, and she knows how to pack what she needs for a 2-week vacation in a single carry-on. She's never done a cruise quite this long or quite this nice, but with her daughter now moved out of the house she's been renting from Jennifer for a decade, a son who's stopped talking to her, and the man she's been dating now out of the picture, Jennifer needs a break from real life. She flies across the country only to board a ship to sail back toward Five Island Cove. Robin doesn't understand what she's doing, but Jennifer has never gotten along all that well with her daughter. Maybe she was too controlling when Robin was a teenager. Maybe she treated her worse than her other children. She doesn't know, but she knows she needs to find a way to repair the relationship with her only child still in the cove. She doesn't expect to see Blanche Gibb on the ship, and she's shocked her college roommate and friend is even on a singles cruise. She discovers Blanche is healing after the sudden death of her husband, and she's come on the trip with her brother, Mitchell. Jennifer has met Mitchell before, but this time, there's sparks flying between the two of them, adding to the magic of the Panama sunshine, lapping waves, and endless drinks above the deck of Sweet Sea Dreams . She feels like she's fallen into a dream, but she still has familial relationships to repair, a friendship to nurture with Blanche, and a heart to heal before it can learn to love again...all before the ship hits land again.

Lost at Sea

A Standalone Novel

2023

For every family that is Italian going back several generations, this will sound familiar: It's a known fact that Italian women are passionate about everything, especially family, and they know that food is the essence of life. Stephanie (Stevie) Valentini's story begins with her Bisnonna (great-grandmother) Paola in a village in Italy after WW2. In 2021, she is searching for something. She's just not sure what that something is. The chef in her family's trattoria, Stephanie's life has imploded. Suddenly single, suffering from Covid burnout, and about to turn thirty, she impulsively agrees to help best friend Kim with her pop-up jewellery shop on a Mediterranean cruise. Feeling lost, she's not convinced she even needs to be found. What she discovers on this voyage is magic that might change her forever. This gourmet food cruise is on a small ship with ten stops of three days in exciting ports from Barcelona to Venice. Time with Kim can only help heal Stephanie's wounded heart as they have laughed and cried their way through life together as only besties can. They will be crew on this cruise and not paying passengers. Kim understands Stephanie does not want anyone to know she is the TikTok star of Stevie Valentini's Pasta Party. Nor does she want any romance. With each passing port, adventures continue, surprises occur and the final outcome once Venice is reached could not have been anticipated, particularly by Stephanie.
