Elizabeth Famous, a bestselling author celebrated for her evocative love stories featuring authentic, imperfect characters, revels in navigating the complexities often sidestepped in traditional romance. Her debut novel, Love and Candy, was a poignant exploration of first love, and her second work, Light, Bright & Sparkling, followed the compelling tale of an aspiring singer/dancer.

With an unwavering passion for Jane Austen, Famous draws inspiration from the iconic author in her latest endeavor, Pemberley Beach.

I'm so glad you enjoyed LOVE AND CANDY, and I have good news for you: my latest novel, LIGHT, BRIGHT & SPARKLING, features Samantha and Delaney ... and their kids! It's the story of Samantha's sister, Annabelle Montclare. Annabelle, who lives and works in LA, receives a visit from Sam's family toward the beginning of the novel, and the story ends at an end-of-summer beach party with all the Montclares in attendance. I believe the scenes with Delaney and Samantha will give you a sense of how their relationship works out. :) Best Wishes, Elizabeth Famous(less)

"What a stupid lamb," I sighed.

Love and Candy by Elizabeth Famous


Elizabeth Famous It's on Barnes and Noble, Smashwords and Kobobooks. I wish it was on Amazon but they're very slow with formatting the paperback edition so the Kindle version won't be out for another week or so. The .MOBI ebook version on Smashwords works on Kindle. :)

I realized the timing is off. Sorry.
