Falling Slowly
Doug Dolan’s been burned by a woman who used him to get near his music superstar brother, Jon. Badly hurt, he flees from LA to New York in hopes of restarting his career as a videographer. At a photo shoot for one of Jon’s events, he meets Gillian Eddings, a British still photographer working for BBC America. They hit it off but no dating, just friends. While getting acquainted, they develop a bond both call friendship, but their mutual attraction proves the elephant in the room.
When Gillian’s employer insists she use the friendship to arrange a major feature article, she resists and sets it up in another way. When the interview occurs, Doug doesn’t believe Gillian hasn’t used him, and blows up, bringing the old hurt to the fore and blaming Gillian unjustly. Faced with her own challenges – is she or is she not relapsing in leukemia? – she can’t make him believe the truth.
They allow Doug’s prejudices to separate them until Gillian's challenges require she seek help. Will Doug be the jerk he fears becoming, or rise to her need and become the man he wants to be?

About the author
Deborah Kinnard
18 books4 followersDeb Kinnard started writing at age ten, frustrated because there was no preteen girl with a horse on “Bonanza.” From there she progressed to short stories and really bad poetry.
In college, she gained two degrees in health care and spent time observing hippies, basketball stars, el-ed majors and other strange species. While raising two active girls and cherishing a husband, she enjoyed a career that has encompassed Spanish translation, volunteer work at a crisis line, years in assorted ERs that don’t resemble the one on TV, and a day job at a big Chicago teaching hospital.
She’s a member of various local and national writing groups and confesses to being a loud singer at church. In 2002 she sold her first novel and has published several others since, including Seasons in the Mist which won the 2010 Grace Award in Speculative Fiction.
She's still working on both medieval and contemporary romances, as well as a speculative-fic/romance mashup, so keep an eye peeled for still more news.
When Deb’s not at the computer writing, she keeps busy with reading, playing the guitar, and needlework. She loves to travel and meet new people, some of whom turn up later in her stories. So if you meet a short woman with a light in her eye…
