Welcome back SUNDAY COVE and more innocent, carefree times. You’ll find the language tame and the bedroom doors closed.
I hope you fell in love with Holly in NAUGHTY AND NICE and Mary Ann in BIRDS OF A FEATHER. One of the scenes in NAUGHY AND NICE was true. Visit my blog to find out which one! I blog as both Peggy Webb and Elaine Hussey, my literary fiction name, at www.elainehussey.com. Do stop by! I frequently give away wonderful prizes to readers who leave comments.
The original version of BIRDS OF A FEATHER was considered the first true romantic comedy. It was used by select colleges as an example of how to write comedy. Many years and many books later, I received a Romantic Times Pioneer Award for forging the way for the sub genre of romantic comedy. That was 2008, I believe. Dates tend to escape my mind.
It’s so much fun to revise these romance classics for you! I’m changing the settings in all eight books to Sunday Cove, a small fictional town on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with its own romantic legend. In addition to the legend, I’ve added new scenes and a new cast of regulars. I’ve also deleted and/or revised scenes and added Clara’s Cookbook as a bonus in the back of all the books. The recipes are gathered from my family of great Southern cooks and will change in each book.
Have fun as you watch the characters get caught up in the love spell woven by an ancient legend.
Now curl up with a cup of spicy Mayan hot chocolate (recipe in the back of the second book as well as this one) and enjoy a few belly laughs – I did as I created this author’s edition. When you read the last page, I hope you’re still smiling.
I plan to have eight books in SUNDAY COVE. The first one was in December of 2014, and the other seven will be released in 2015. Though each story is connected by a romantic legend, a small Southern town by the sea and the lovable regulars who inhabit it, each book stands alone and can be read out of sequence.
Look for THE NEARNESS OF YOU…April, 2015! As always, I hope you enjoy every one of the stories in SUNDAY COVE. Thank you for reading!
