I pre-ordered a book by Ryan Winfield, whom I saw on a local Seattle morning show. He lives in WA State, seemed bright and writes from a woman's point of view. I know another male writer who writes from the female point of view. Winfield wrote a romance, which is a tear-jerker. It's called "
Jane's Melody: A Novel." It's in Paperback. From what I recall (it's been about 8 - 9 weeks ago since I heard him speak), his character's a 40-year-old woman who's daughter dies of a drug overdose or something. In order, in her grief, to learn more about her daughter, so she can feel closer to her, she takes in a younger man, who (from what I recall) is a musician. The mother slowly finds that she's accidentally falling in love with this younger man. It sounds deep, because of the death of her DD, but also, it sounds romantic because she's learned to love again. I won't get it until April, since it's on pre-order, but it's also available non-pre-order, too, and for the Nook, too. Kindle may have it at Amazon, too. This author really impressed me, he seemed so compassionate, sensitive and like a very nice young man. I'm turning 62, and to me, he looked 38 - 47, so "to me", that's young. He was very pleasant and I'm looking forward to a pleasant read, too.
In the meantime, I'll catch up on my reading, because when his book arrives, I'm certain it'll be a page-turner!
