Dear Reader,
Is this your first trip to Hope Springs? Lucky you! The holidays are the perfect time to visit!
Would you like to take another trip and meet Luna and Angelo Caffey, co-owners of the Caffey-Gatlin Academy? You can read their story in BENEATH A PATCHWORK MOON. Maybe you’re curious about the brownies served in Two Owls. The recipes are in Kaylie Keller, née Flynn’s story, THE SECOND CHANCE CAFÉ. And if you want to know more about the workings of Bread and Bean, you’ll want to read THE COMFORT OF FAVORITE THINGS.
Indiana Keller and Oliver Gatlin (the other half of the Caffey-Gatlin Academy) can be found in THE SWEETNESS OF HONEY. And you’ll meet Callum Drake and his daughter Addy in BLISS AND THE ART OF FOREVER. For those waiting on a story for Will Bowman, his is coming. I promise. Will’s a tough one to nail down and my own challenges have hindered my progress on figuring him out. But I’m getting there. Expect, too, a story for Dr. Quinn Barrow.
I love Hope Springs. It’s based on the town of Gruene, Texas, the location of one of my favorite restaurants ever, the Gristmill, which makes an appearance in the series, as does the Guadalupe River and Gruene Hall. Oh, and if you’re familiar with the series already, I hope you caught the cameo near the end of this book and that it made you smile! It did me.
I’d like to invite you to sign up for my newsletter. There’s a free book for you if you do. And you’ll be the first to know when the next book in my Hope Springs series is released.
Thanks again for reading!
Alison Kent
