Dear Reader,

More than twenty-five years ago, I kicked off my writing career with four short contemporary romance novels. I had been trying to get my toe in the door of a publisher for more than twenty years at that time, and I thought someone was playing a joke on me when I got “the call” that an editor wanted to buy the two stories I had submitted to her. Then a few months later, she bought two more. On the Way to Us was one of those books. At the time, the title was For the Love of Mercy and later became An Old Love’s Shadow. On the Way to Us is my favorite of the three!

I hope you enjoy On the Way to Us, the bonus novella, and the excerpt from The Sisters Café and enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing each one!

Until next time,

Carolyn Brown
