Romance / Contemporary
Giving up a promising career as an artist, Gemma Oldfield turns her back on her British roots and moves to Los Angeles to be with the woman who has captured her heart. When things don’t go as planned, Gemma buries herself in her work as a Hollywood set decorator-all the while clinging to the hope that the passion with her lover can be rekindled. But she must temporarily leave L.A. behind and return to England after her grandmother’s unexpected passing. Once there, she discovers shocking secrets she could never have foreseen.
Emily Oldfield, Gemma’s beloved Nan, was a simple woman who painted portraits and tended her garden in the small village of Moulton. But Gemma learns that Nan’s life was far from simple. When she discovers hundreds of letters written from a mysterious person dating as far back as the 1930s, Gemma embarks upon a quest to understand why her grandmother took so many secrets to her grave.
Gemma’s journey to discover the truth leads her to London where she soon realizes that the matriarch’s past, if revealed, could destroy the Oldfields. Should she keep these scandalous revelations to herself, or expose them to her family?
Nan is not the only one with a hidden past. Hannah Davis is adjusting to life following a shocking confession from her husband James–a secret he kept hidden for years. But James and Hannah, veterinarians running an animal clinic in London, attempt to carry on as business partners. As a Buddhist, Hannah struggles between allowing the universe to show her the way and scheming of ways to get James to realize that leaving her was the biggest mistake of his life.
Set in the late twentieth century and partially told through letters which span several decades, this story follows these women as they unlock secrets from the past that will change the course of their lives forever.

OUR HAPPY HOURS: LGBT VOICES FROM THE GAY BARS
Story Collectors: S. Renee Bess & Lee Lynch
E-book $8.99
Paperback: $11.95
Release date: October 29, 2017
Collection
During the days and nights following the massacre at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the world listened as various spokespersons attempted to explain to the general public exactly what the gay bar/club meant to LGBTQI people. The words “safe place,” “refuge,” “free to be ourselves” flew through the air.
We queer writers grappled with the tragedy alongside our brothers and sisters. How could we express our feelings about the places where we could drop all pretense of conforming to the hetero-normative society’s rules? What words could we gather to let the rest of the world know the pain we felt upon losing so many beautiful strangers on a night in June and in a place that had been one of our havens?
How and why does the gay bar intersect so many of our lives?
The stories and poems living between the covers of this book attempt to answer those questions. Spend a few happy hours with us in our gay bars.
**All profits will be donated to LGBTQI Youth Organizations**
