What if the life you always wanted was waiting just around the corner? That's the heart of Shail Rajan's writing.

The author of five women's fiction novels, she writes warm, feel-good stories with clean romance set in charming small towns. Her Summer Breeze series — set in the fictional Seneca Springs in upstate New York's Finger Lakes wine country — follows Callie Williams as she rebuilds her life, her heart, and a beloved bed & breakfast. Her standalone novel, The Recipient, blends women's fiction with clean romance and suspense in a small-town setting.

If you love cozy, heartwarming fiction with second chances, found family, food, and community — books in the spirit of Debbie Macomber and Susan Wiggs — Shail's books are for you.

If I had to narrow it down, I'd chose the following:
1. Seneca Falls from The Summer Breeze - I'd love to live in the idyllic small town and weave myself into the lives of the characters who already feel like old friends to me.
2. Willstown from A Town Like Alice - I'd spend time out on Joe Harman's cattle station - sitting on porch and learning everything I can from Jean Paget about her unconquerable and entrepreneurial spirit.
3. Permberley from Pride and Prejudice and any other place written about by Jane Austen :)(less)

I find that forced pauses seem to fend off writer's block for me. During my breaks, I do everything from cooking and baking to reading, doing 1000 piece puzzles, coloring, going on walks, gardening, reading, and my all time favorite, a game of bukharo with my kids.

What 6,000 Strangers Reminded Me

We’re back from Alaska with full camera rolls, wonderful family memories, a newfound appreciation for elastic waistbands...and one unexpected takeaway. Our cruise ship carried nearly 6,000 people from all over the world. Different countries. Different ethnicities. Different religions. Different political views. Different generations. But for one week, none of that seemed to matter. People admired Read more of this blog post »
