Humorous Story
 
A long time ago . . . in a galaxy far, far— (Oops, wrong beginning.) Several years ago (that’s better), my husband and I took a ride on the Algoma Central Railroad, a day trip to Canada’s beautiful Agawa Canyon in September. This was a round-trip color tour that started at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. At the time, we were living in the Detroit-area, so we’re talking a 350-mile drive plus 114-mile train ride to get to the canyon. I was seven-months pregnant with our first child and felt huge. As we were walking around the lovely park, I heard a woman shout out my husband’s name. What are the chances that we’d be over 460 miles from home and run into his old girlfriend?
 
In my latest release, Romance Rekindled, two women have a second chance at love. Abby, divorced for fifteen years, and her mother, Florence, widowed for six. Neither had a great first marriage. But fate had a hand in bringing two terrific men into their lives.

Oh, my. I bet that was...awkward! LOL! It looks like you had a wonderful trip otherwise. My husband and I have often talked about taking the train ride in Canada. From the look of the picture you shared, I bet it was breathtaking.

Tell us a little about your book, Romance Rekindled.

Blurb
Abby Ten Eyck likes her life the way it is. She runs a successful business, has a well-adjusted teenage daughter, and has managed to keep men at bay since her divorce fifteen years ago. Just before Christmas, she’s hit with change. Her mother decides to sell the family home. Then she’s arrested, with an unknown man. Could this new man in her mother’s life create more upheaval? Or could his handsome son be just what Abby needs to revive her dormant feelings?
 
Sam Watson embraces transition from frenetic Wall Street to a small Michigan resort town. His health is worth moving close to his dad who seems over the moon in love. But it’s the daughter of his father’s girlfriend who fascinates him. Abby Ten Eyck reminds him of his driven self. He must help her slow down before she burns out. Like he did.
 
Excerpt
 
Outside the courthouse, the bright sun made the snow-covered trees glisten like fairy-land. Mother hugged George again, then Sam and Bethany. She looked at Abby and sighed. “This was the most fun I’ve had in years. Don’t ruin it with a lecture.”
Abby thought of several things to say—none of them good. “It’s okay, Mother.” She gave her a quick hug. “Let’s go home.”
Mother said, “George, remember what I said when we were in the slammer. You and Sam come for Christmas dinner tomorrow. Abby’s cooking at my house. Two o’clock and don’t be late.”
George grinned. “You’ve told me so much about Abby’s prowess in the kitchen, I can’t wait.”
After Sam and George left, Abby turned on her mother. “Why did you invite them? Christmas is for family. Besides, we hardly know them.”
Mother tipped her head to the side. “When did you become so mean spirited? Christmas is a time of sharing, especially with those in need. And, believe me, those two men need a good home-cooked meal. You’re going to have to get used to George being around. Besides, I don’t want those two bachelors eating Christmas dinner at Denny’s or some such place.”
As they got in the van, Abby pondered what her mother said. Was she being mean spirited for wanting to spend Christmas with only her immediate family? While Thanksgiving had always been a day for the gathering of relatives, Father insisted Christmas was for the four of them. After Father died, Mother, Bethany, and she spent Christmas together.
Then the rest of what Mother said registered. “What do you mean we have to get used to George being around?”
“I love him.”
