VACATION POST - SOMEONE LIKE YOU

 

Since three of our authors are on vacation this month, I will be posting in their absence. Come September, they will return with their stories. 

In the meantime, I will be post snippets from my new book, "Someone Like You" - a new one each week. The book is with my editor now and won't be up on Amazon for about a month. But you can read a new excerpt here each week for the month of August. 

The first one is live now. Click on this link Someone Like You to go to the story. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Remember that the other authors will be back the first week of September! 

Best regards, 

Jean Joachim
