Charly with a Y and Wendi with an I

Spring is almost here! And along with it, Romance for All Seasons: Spring Fling, an anthology of spring romances including my story “Charly with a Y and Wendi with an I.”

Just like with the last issue of Romance of All Seasons, I’m delighted to have landed a contemporary romance story alongside a bunch of amazing writers!

This story, as you might be able to tell from the title, is all about the characters, Charly and Wendi. These two quirky best friends are getting ready to graduate college and go their separate ways, but might there be something more there for them as they experience spring in Phoenix, Arizona and reminisce about their past?

Here’s the blurb for the book:

Springtime. A time for new love, new romance, and discovering that special someone who just might change your life in the best possible way.

Romance for All Seasons is proud to present a stellar lineup of stories of sweet springtime romance sure to leave you with that wonderful ah! feeling romance readers live for! Fall in love with these all too human heroines and heroes as they meet cute, meet silly, and meet again during that magical time of year when the world shakes off the ice and snow and cold of winter and turns its face to the warmth of the springtime sun.

Penned by a group of amazing short story writers, each of these tales will leave you believing in true love and happily-ever-afters!
