  Chance Meeting   I think the readers will find Mel very relatable. Who hasn’t felt, when it comes to life’s decisions, that it seems like everyone else’s welfare and happiness comes first. Through heart felt and clever dialogue, you follow along as Mel comes to the realization that she needs to take responsibility for her own happiness before it’s too late. Colleen R.   I thoroughly loved the story. A good writer allows you to envision each character even without ever seeing them and I hated saying good bye to them at the end of the book.

 Last night after meeting with a few Wilmington, NC writers. I set a goal of creating my author page on Amazon. My Bio: Eighteen years ago, while living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and waiting for my ship to come in. I published several short stories and a novel with The Wild Rose Press. After that, I took an Adult Gap Year from writing...it lasted thirteen years. In 2024, I signed a contract with The Wild Rose Press for my sweetheart romance novel, “Chance Meeting,” and have self-published two children’s stories. I am excited to be back writing. This morning on our 5 mile walk - what did we see? My ship has come in… Even though you're a leader - you can follow me on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/christinecolumbus   or Good Reads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1453048.Christine_Columbus    

  Today’s writing room is on the balcony…not getting a lot accomplished, but I am enjoying the view.  

  People read in bed all the time, so it only makes sense that a writer should write in bed…working on my Blue Moon - Can a scoop of Blue Moon ice cream thaw Sally’s frozen heart?  Also working on edits for Chance Meeting - contacted with The Wild Rose Press.
