Book Description
It's Autumn and more than crisp, colorful leaves are falling...three couples are falling in the love of their lifetimes.Welcome to the first short story collection by Debut Author Dawn Van Beck, which includes the following three short and sweet romances: Autumn Splendor: Blair Sutton somewhat expected to run into her childhood best friend, Colton Kingsbury, as they reunited for her Paw Paw's funeral in Eagle River, Wisconsin. What she didn't expect, however, was for Colton's presence to reignite the smoldering feelings she'd vowed to dismiss. As their limited time together presents an opportunity to take inventory of their current lives, will Blair continue to suppress her feelings, or will she finally admit to what Colton anticipated all along?As the Leaves Turn: The leaves aren't the only things falling in Michigan's charming Upper Peninsula! Grace Montgomery spends a vacation weekend in the quaint lakeside town of St. Ignace. Reluctantly allowing the handsome Brandon Walker to be her personal tour guide, their companionship leads her to questioning everything about her life back in Chicago, including her complex relationship with her boyfriend, Dexter. Will Grace choose to remain in Chicago, or will she one day return to St. Ignace...and to Brandon?Victorian Fall: Kendall's world crushes beneath him as his beloved Jasmine suffers amnesia following a horrible accident. Kendall makes repeated attempts to trigger Jasmine's memory of the strong bond of love between them. As time passes and his hope diminishes, will sparks of the life they once shared appear along with the Victorian Fall Festival they came to love as the couple they once were?PRAISE FOR AUTUMN LOVE: "Wow! I'm in love...with the short and sweet romances of Debut Author Dawn Van Beck. She's a master storyteller, who makes you feel every bit of the magic in the tales she weaves. Such perfect, little short stories that just make you feel good and offer a wonderful reminder that love triumphs overall. I'm looking forward to her next collection."--- D. D. Scott, International Bestselling AuthorABOUT THE AUTHOR: Hi there! Welcome to "me". I'm a writer, singer, child of God, and chocolate chip cookie connoisseur. I hold a degree in Human Resources with a concentration in Gerontology which has allowed me a rewarding career advocating for vulnerable senior adults. After transitioning out of my private Guardianship practice of several years, I now work alongside my husband with our moving business as well as put in some part-time hours at an Elder Law office . . . still advocating for seniors.My love of all things writing began at an early age, pretending to be a librarian leading "story time" with my imaginary patrons. Over the years I've contributed to various publications including newsletters, magazines and theater pieces. My first official publication was in 1993 for the magazine "West Coast Woman", where I shared my experience of living with a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Now, after years of dreaming, I'm finally publishing the dozens of short stories I've written as well as a children's picture book and working on wrapping up a Christian Romance novel.I make my home in sunny Florida where I'm surrounded by a ridiculous number of writing journals and artisan coffee mugs. Close to my heart are bear hugs from my crazy husband, time spent with my adult children, and the companionship of Lilly, our feisty Daschund.Join me as we journey together sharing short stories, devotions, miscellaneous musings and an occasional rant or two (or three).Come, sit for a spell . . .
