Study of Love -  a historical romance

Love

Just completed my most fun project ever - a historical romance - "Luminous Sparrow."

This one was a challenge .

As a writer - who has total control over the characters in her book -  I could not get them to fall in love!

Attraction was no problem -- admiration and intrigue was there -- but that abiding  commitment "love" just did not happen.

What a learning!

Anyway - it is done. And now I'm looking for Beta Readers  - who will dare to join this journey of writing with me -- and give me feedback. 

If you send me an email - "Luminous Sparrow" -- I will send you a copy -- and then later organize a zoom discussion. I want to organize a group discussion on this book. Did they fall in love?

 Do you have the time, the inclination? The deadline for reading it will be  September 8.  Send request to [email protected] 


Here is the response from the first reader.

I have read your draft. I love the story.  The characters were believable and captivating. The plot was intriguing. I liked how the story began and ended and all the switches in between. I learned a lot about Mennonite history and culture in a unique and interesting way.
