Upcoming Signings and how to order signed copies

I am so excited to share that the hardcover rerelease of Christmas at the Nantucket Restaurant is now available!

This is not a new book–it is a new hardcover edition with a gorgeous new cover that has pretty red foil lettering. It would make a perfect holiday gift. =)��

I tell people this book is like a Hallmark Christmas story in book form.

When I wrote The Nantucket Restaurant, I didn’t intend

impossible to put down

My first book from this author and I just read it in one sitting. Loved it. Very twisty and a bit darker than Freida McFadden but has a similar fast pace. Entertaining and unexpected with a great, satisfying ending.

Quotes by Pamela M. Kelley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Do what you love and the money will follow. I heard that years ago. It seems to be true from what I’ve seen,” Lisa said.”
Pamela M. Kelley, Nantucket White Christmas

“Melissa Hopkins wanted more than anything to be home in her warm bed, securely tucked under her thick down comforter. For several hours now, she'd been sitting in a small windowless room at the local police headquarters, being interrogated by the same two cops non-stop. It made her head ache, although she supposed the drinks she'd had earlier could be a contributor to that as well.”
Pamela M. Kelley, Trust

“It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind, after all.”
Pamela M. Kelley, Winter in Ireland

Penelope Marzec Thanks for your friendship!


Pamela Kelley Thank you to all of my new friends! I am sorry for not responding sooner, haven't been here in a bit, and it's all so new to me, still learning my way around.

I do have a new author to rave about though. I downloaded Sentence of Marriage because I'd seen a post of the author's on Kindleboards and wanted to check out her books. I was floored by how much I loved her writing. This is the first in a series of four books and I think I read them all in a 5 day period....there were a few sleep deprived nights as they kept me up long past my bedtime...like 1:30 which is crazy on a work night. I just couldn't stop reading. It's so rare that I feel that way about an author. I just downloaded a follow up book Daisy's War by the same author and am looking foward to curling up in this cold weather tonight to enjoy! Highly recommend. These books are historicals and a family saga set in late 1800's New Zealand. I didn't expect them to be such page-turners. They are very well-written. This author is now on my auto-buy list...I read a lot of books, but my auto-buy list is shorter than I'd like it to be. :)
