LOVE ON MAIN is coming!
Love short stories? Love Valentine's Day? Love Hallmark movies?
Well, you don't want to miss this then. I've got a piece coming out in a short story anthology called Love on Main which releases on February 11, 2020. It features romances that take place on Main Street America, and mine takes place in beautiful Rock Hill, South Carolina.
So excited for you to read it! Here's a quick summary:
In an attempt to avoid his clingy ex, star quarterback Michael Bradford darts into a new Indian Café on Main Street and runs into Shreya Sanghani. He can’t stop fumbling his words around her--leaving her less than thrilled by his well-meaning but insensitive comments. When he’s paired with her for a class assignment, cultures aren’t the only things clashing.
Can't wait to share this with the world! <3
Psst...like blog hops? Starting January 6th, I'll be participating in one to gear up for the release--giveaway included! CHECK IT OUT HERE!
