I’m happy to announce that things are moving forward to purchase my newest novella, The Message in a Bottle Romance Collection, which will release on March 1st, 2017. Here’s our cover:
Each story is linked together by a bottle that survives the ages and, because of a single word etched into it, offers hope to various people when they need it most.
My story is set in New York City, 1798. Even then, New York was among the most exciting cities in the country to call home—although at this particular time, it was a risky place to be with a yellow fever epidemic breaking out. Let that be a clue as to why my characters are in need of divine hope!
I’ve so enjoyed working with the other lovely ladies involved in this very fun project! We have lots of excitement ahead as the release date draws nearer, but seeing the book available for pre-order is one of those first fun steps.

As always,
Happy Reading!
Maureen, I ‘m so looking forward to visiting 1798 New York through your story! Thank you for the gift of you words in this world. So blessed to be a part of this with you!
I feel the same, it’s such a blessing to work together and enjoy the fun of spreading the word!
I love that this is set in early NYC! I was there for a year w/my hubby when he was in law school, then we lived in Upstate NY (quite a different locale!) for 6 years when our kiddos were small. I can’t wait to read your story, Maureen, and it’s been such a joy to work with you!
When I was researching another story I did with a New York City setting (Bees In The Butterfly Garden) I wanted to go to New York – but was hesitant to go by myself. Considering I’m from the Chicago area, it’s embarrassing to admit I was intimidated by another big city, when Chicago is practically the murder capitol of the world. Anyway, my husband and son came along and I’m happy to say we all fell in love with NYC! It was so exciting to see familiar landmarks and where so much history took place. I felt safe the entire time, the food was fantastic, the people friendly! I’d go back in a “New York minute!”
Ditto that it’s been such a pleasure working with you, Heather!
