Four stories. Four couples. Four chances for love.
No Regrets: Darien Francis has a small business, Errands on Call, and Richard Li is a bank guard with a small daughter he rarely sees. They meet when he saves her during a bank robbery and become friends, but she’s afraid to love again after a previous relationship ended badly.
Probation: Shane Kenniston is working in a factory after his life was upended by a false accusation. Beth Parker is a recent widow who had a crush on Shane when he was her sister’s youth orchestra leader. They meet again when Beth moves into the same apartment building, but neither is ready for the complications of their relationship.
The Shape of Life: Contractor David Early and lab tech Kate Howard meet in the Laundromat, but her life is consumed by the needs of her disabled child, and David isn’t ready for the responsibility.
House Hunters: Realtor Frank Ellison meets speech therapist Kayla Barnes at an open house, and Kayla’s roommate Gia draws Frank into their circle. Unfortunately Frank’s mistaken first impression of Kayla derails any chance of romance, and Kayla has given up dating after a broken engagement.
Can these reluctant hearts be won over by love?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Each of the four novellas has its initial trigger. A TV show bank robbery for "No Regrets," a newspaper article about registered sex offenders and Halloween for "Probation," a meditation on "The Shape of Life," and the TV show House Hunters for, of course, "House Hunters."
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
There are no simple answers to this question, but Shane Kenniston was inspired in part by the leader of the San Diego Youth Orchestra, which holds open rehearsals in Balboa Park. Although Gia in "House Hunters" is nothing like me, her character is informed by my library career. In general, these are the characters who were willing to talk to me and help the words flow.
