It's wonderful to hear from you.

"A Collection of Timeless Love Letters" was a fictional book I created for the Playfair story. However, a lovely reader of mine reached out not long ago and bought a similar book for her husband for their anniversary.

It's called Love Letters of Great Men and Women and it's available on Amazon Canada. Not sure about Kobo or other sites, but here is the Amazon link if you'd like to take a look:

I hope that helps. Keep me posted on how you go.

Lots of love,
Michelle xx(less)

Woodstock by Michelle Montebello
"Fantastic read
Loved reading about the stories of the festival in first hand. Great spacing between the decades. Really good read. I suppose a little predictable but that fiction isn’t it.
My first five star book "
