Jeri lives in Hobart where she owns a gallery. Since her divorce, many years ago, she's finally ready to "be" with a man again. But finding the right one seems to be harder than she thought. ~~~
“I’ve gotta head out and grab some material,” Ely said.

She took a deep sigh, grabbed her tea, and stepped towards him. “I forgot to tell you that you’re more than welcome to use the kitchen.”
“Thanks, but I grab something on the way.”

May I introduce: Kathy Bosman "His Halloween Kisses"

His Halloween Kissesby Kathy Bosman

My guest today is fellow Astraea Press Kathy Bosman, who has just released her latest book "His Halloween Kisses". The obvious question for me was about a Halloween tradition in South Africa.
 
1 - I love the blurb. How did you come up with the idea for "His Halloween Kisses"
The idea partly sprang from my own experience house-sitting. I also wanted to explore the idea of kissing a stranger and a relationship developing from there.


2 - Tell us a bit about H...

The morning went by quickly, and it was just before noon when Ely went in search for Jeri. He found her in a little kitchen, absentmindedly dipping the tea bag in her cup. He was close enough to see tears on her face. When Jeri saw him, she wiped them away with an angry swipe...

May I introduce: S.Briones Lim "Palace Hills"

Palace Hills
by S. Briones Lim
  Fellow Limitless Publishing Author S. Briones Lim is visiting today to talk about her latest book "Palace Hills".
