Love Letters

Surprise!

I love surprises. Especially good news from publishers.

In January, 2007, my novella “Love Letters” released through a new publisher. Since the book was just over 24,000 words, they released it as an ebook—downloadable only.

Then, the other day, they sent an email announcing its release in print! It’s about 109 pages and comes complete with an ISBN number. J

I pulled a bit of real life from my own experience and turned up the tension x 100, threw in some completely fabricated elements and ta-da! A novella!

Here’s a bit about the story:

Randy Ambrose has written scores of love letters to his wife, but she’s never seen them. He’s stressed out with work, trying to make a deadline. Jordan Ambrose wonders why her husband is so distant. She’s searching for a good read when she happens on a box of love letters in her husband’s writing office. They’re written from R to J and she assumes they’re from him. But why hasn’t he ever showed them to her? Randy’s explanation will have to wait, Jordan’s sick with strep throat, which Randy then catches. Their tenth wedding anniversary fast approaches, as does Randy’s deadline for work. He’s got to explain the letters Jordan found. After a lifetime of guarding his heart, can he risk letting Jordan see, through his letters, just exactly how he’s felt all this time?
