About the author
Ute Carbone
17 books107 followersAward winning author Ute Carbone pronounces her first name Oohtah, but doesn't spell it that way. She lives with her husband in Southern NH, where she spends her days drinking coffee, eating chocolate, walking in the woods, and dreaming up stories.
There's been a long list of things I've wanted to be. Some of them were fanciful- ballerina, trapeze artist, world class ski racer. Some more serious-doctor, oceanographer, bookstore owner. Some I've actually accomplished- teacher, mother, workshop leader.
I've always loved to read books but for most of my life I never would have imagined myself writing them. Oh, I scribbled. I wrote songs for my guitar when I was a teen. I kept a journal in college. When my children were small, I began to write poetry. I joined a poetry group. I got a few things published. Then, in a writing workshop, I began writing fiction A seed got planted. The stories I wrote got longer and longer until one day I found myself writing a novel. I finished the novel in fits and starts and wrote another one. Then another. Each time, I learned a little more about the art and craft. of storytelling.
Each time, I got to enter a brand new world. Through my characters, I've gotten to be a lot of things, from a shark researcher to an 1850's heiress to a ski patrol woman. Who knows what's next? Writer, it's the perfect job for the girl who wanted to be everything.
PS If you're looking for my romantic comedy, check out Annie Hoff. All my romantic comedy, both the old favorites and some new titles, are now under my new name,.

All Things Returned by Ute Carbone is a sweeping historical romance taking place in San Francisco in the 1800's. This was my first read by Carbone and the one thing I can say is that she sure knows how to sweep a reader into her created world. While reading, I was transported and I loved it! Filled with intriguing characters and suspenseful twists to the plot, I was sad when it ended. I can't wait to read more by Ute Carbone.

“All Things Returned” continues the charming love story of Lenora and Anton. This time, though, it’s told from Lenora’s perspective.

April 7, 2014 San Francisco in 1852 was a growing city, full of hope and ambition and with more than a little bit of swagger and bravado. A lot, in short, like Anton and Lenora themselves. I hope you'll enjoy this part of their story, which can be read by itself or as a continuation of Sweet Lenora and To the Wind.
