Author Secret Confession Time!
Any author who claims not to be at least a little bit anxious about how readers will respond to their novel is telling a big fat whopper of a lie. Four days until ONCE UPON A LIST is published... GULP!!!

What A Lovely Book Review For ONCE UPON A LIST!
From THE ROMANCE REVIEWS:
More a mainstream novel or woman's fiction with romantic elements, ONCE UPON A LIST is a heartwarming tale of a woman's journey as she adjusts to a life without her fiancé after his death.
Clara Black's world was shattered the day her fiancé was involved in a fatal accident. Eight months later, she was still trying to come to terms with her grief. She's tried all sorts of techniques to get her life back on track, but nothing worked. Her grief over Sebastian's death always pulled her down and sunk her in deep depression.
Until one day, when she received the time capsule she made when she was ten, which contained a list of things she wanted to accomplish before she reached thirty-five. With nine months to go, Clara determined to cross off each item on the list, and on her journey, she discovered things she never expected to find.
Reminiscent of P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern, ONCE UPON A LIST nevertheless holds its own with its engaging heroine, heartfelt emotions and realistic portrayal of the journey a woman goes through as she deals with her grief and learns to come to terms with it. I like the deep friendship and support Clara had with and from her brother Leo, yet it really takes someone who has been there to know what Clara has been through and to give her the understanding and comfort that she needs.
And as we journey with Clara's ups and downs, we also learn that life is precious, yet uncertain. Tomorrow is a gift we haven't received. All that we have, all that is in our grasp, is the present.
ONCE UPON A LIST is a great and entertaining read, both thought-provoking and life-affirming.
