The Village Friends & Family series is set in Bliss Bay — the same fictional village as my Bliss Bay Village Mysteries — but with one big difference… it’s not a mystery series, it’s a family fiction series, with a strong focus on the sisters of the family.
It’s my first book in this genre and, as with all my books, the bonds of love between friends and family are at the heart of every story.
Book 1 – New Beginnings in Bliss Bay
Sometimes, you have to look back before you can move forward
When Denni Grainger makes a devastating discovery on her wedding anniversary, her life is thrown into freefall and there isn’t a parachute in sight.
As she comes to terms with the fallout, her great-aunt and family matriarch dies, leaving the family shocked to learn of a change she made to her will the day before her death.
As Denni mourns her loss, she discovers that her aunt’s final wish was for the rift that fractured the family following an unspeakable tragedy to be healed, and that she has placed her hopes for a reconciliation squarely in her great-niece’s hands.
What with one thing and another, the path ahead seems cloaked in uncertainty for Denni, but as her sisters gather round — always there for each other in times of crisis and joy, no matter what — a future bright with opportunity flickers into view.
And, although she’s not looking for romance, it seems that romance might have found her, in the most unexpected of ways.
