Welcome to Devlinsbooks!
Hope you have checked out the “Just for Fun” page. I’ll be putting up a new story soon. We are working, just so you know! But life does have a way of interfering sometimes. Busy ladies!
JUST FOR FUN! THIS PAGE WILL BE DEDICATED TO SHORT STORIES, BOOK CHAPTERS AND IDLE RAMBLINGS! AS THE TITLE SAYS, IT’S JUST FOR FUN!!!
As I’ve said before, some people knit and crochet, we write. Writing was our hobby long before we ever got the idea to try to publish something together. Mary also quilts and travels and works for her husband, but she always has a book in her head that she’s working on in her “spare” time. I amuse myself in my retirement by writing short stories. Many of them I’ve been writing and rewriting over again for years now. My sister has encouraged me to be brave and put some of my short stories on here for your amusement as well. No thrillers, suspense or crime, just sweet romances for me. Currently posted “Just for Fun” is a short story that I’ve been working on titled, Olympic Gold. Looking forward to your comments and hope you enjoy the read. –Debbie
NINTH BOOK IS HERE!!! Dying for a Headline, Meredith Abbott’s Adventures in England!!! Book Number Nine and the final book of Meredith Abbott’s Adventures is now available. In this novel, we follow Meredith and Timothy back to England where she plans to help him restore the family’s ancestral home, an English manor house located in The Cotswolds. As they work together and begin to plan a future, someone isn’t happy. Antonio has no intentions of letting them live happily ever after.
RELATIVE UNKNOWN, the sequel to The Witherspoon Adventures Trilogy.
After much discussion, we agreed that we needed more! Many people had asked us whatever happened to Magee and Rick. The story just didn’t seem complete, sooo… here it is. The sequel to The Witherspoon Adventures has a twist that we didn’t see coming and we’re sure you didn’t either. Go to the Books page and read the synopsis for a hint and then order the book on the How To Buy page to get the final episode in The Witherspoon Adventures.
We have self published nine novels to date:
The Witherspoon Adventures: (The Witherspoon Healers Adventures)
Beautiful Disaster (Magee – Book One)
Burnt Roses (Melissa – Book Two) with sister, Beth Devlin-Keune
Before Everafter (Madison – Book Three)
Relative Unknown (Cari – Book Four)
The Cayden Wright Adventures:
The Wright Move (Book One)
The Wright One (Book Two)
The Wright Woman (Book Three)
Meredith Abbott Adventures:
Lying for a Living, Meredith Abbott’s Adventures in Hollywood

Although we are control freaks by nature, we have learned to trust the experts for certain aspects of our writing projects. We are so fortunate to have wonderful people who not only help us publish the best products we can, but who also encourage and support us in this joint venture of ours. Special thanks to each of them and if you are looking for help with a project of your own, we highly recommend them.
Copy-editor: Sharon K. Garner (sharonkgarner.com) Sharon is a published author who also works as a copy-editor for manuscripts, screenplays, etc. She catches details that we may have missed, corrects our spelling and grammar, and makes suggestions. She has worked on every one of our novels and knows our characters as well as we do. Since Sharon lives nearby, we meet occasionally for lunch. Go to her website to see a list and read excerpts of her amazing romance novels, each set in an exotic locale. I don’t travel much but do travel through my imagination in Sharon’s novels.
Graphic Artist: Elizabeth Nichols (enicholsdesign.com) Elizabeth was recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be happier. When it was suggested that Magee needed a new, improved cover, we contacted Elizabeth. We have completed the makeovers of all three original Witherspoon novels. And they are awesome! The cover for Lying for a Living was incredible! Then it was on to the fourth Witherspoon novel, which was really a challenge because there wasn’t a clear direction for the cover. After going back and forth a couple of times, we came up with this idea and Elizabeth rocked it! We can’t wait to see what she will do with the second Meredith Abbott Adventure. Go to Elizabeth’s website to see all of the services she can offer such as logo and website design.
E-book Expert: Michael Campbell (mcwriting.com) Michael Campbell and staff are the masters at converting our paper books into e-books. They are fast, thorough and extremely accommodating. Even making changes after we catch our own mistakes. They provide each e-book in different formats so they can be posted for Amazon and B&N. Check out Michael’s website to see all of the writing services he offers.
