My Fiction

The question I am asked most often is the title of my book. I have a list of possible names, but I haven’t settled on one yet. Much like some parents have had trouble picking a name for their baby, choosing the perfect name for my book has been a challenge. I want to write the whole thing before I name it. For me, my work will drive the title rather than the title driving my work.

Here is what I can tell you about my book:

In the bustling heart of Nashville, 23-year-old songwriter Hannah Thompson has big dreams of someday adding her voice to the music industry. While working as a bartender at one of the hottest spots in town, she is brought face to face with her crush and country sensation, Charlie Wyatt.

Charlie’s romantic past has been filled with women more concerned with spray tans, filtered photos, and Instagram followers than an actual connection with him. Hannah is a stark contrast to his ex-girlfriends, a rare and natural beauty. His chance meeting with her comes at the perfect time because he’s ready to settle down for good.

While their relationship takes off, so does Charlie’s career. Landing a record deal with Sony Music pushes his fame to a new level, but with success comes someone from his past threatening to expose secrets powerful enough to make him lose his career and Hannah’s trust. Tension continues to rise as information comes to light, leaving Hannah questioning the future she thought they would build together.

In another corner of Nashville, Paige and Ryan Sullivan grapple with their own heartache. United by a shared dream of parenthood, they face the harsh reality of miscarriage. Turning to adoption as their beacon of hope, they meet Jasmine Davis, a courageous African-American teen, who is facing an unplanned pregnancy. As Paige anticipates the teen’s decision, her joy at potential motherhood is overshadowed by the haunting fear that Jasmine will change her mind, plunging them even deeper into heartbreak.

As the two couples' lives unfold against the backdrop of country music, readers will be taken on a journey of the challenges each protagonist faces to find true happiness, with their paths crossing in unexpected ways.
