Just in case anyone missed it in the other hundred places I’ve already posted it, I thought I’d start my blog by posting the blurb for my debut novel HERE TO STAY, available now from Cerridwen Press (www.cerridwenpress.com). It was a long road to get to this point. I first started writing this book a LONG time ago. I admit it – it’s been sent out and ultimately rejected many times. Then it was accepted and extensively revised and I ended up rejecting the publisher! I kept putting it aside, if not totally out of mind, having babies, leading my life, and the after a while it would call to me again, insisting on being seen. Finally earlier this year a friend pushed me to send it in to Cerridwen and I thought why not? It was worth a try and I am happy to say that my perseverance finally paid off. I think it was worth the wait – I hope you do too.

But happily this is not the end of the road! I have a second book accepted and coming out sometime this year and am working on a third. Keep watching this space for more news about my writing and other random thoughts…

Until next time, happy reading!

Here to Stay By Jenyfer Matthews

All Julia Sullivan wanted was a fresh start in a new place. But cutting ties with the past and starting over can be a difficult thing to do.

After leaving her husband and quitting her job, Julia was emotionally spent. She needed a quiet place to recharge and to think about what she wanted from life. She thought she had found just that when she inherited her aunt’s oceanfront Victorian house in Haven, New Jersey. It wasn’t going to be that simple, however. In addition to her new house being a complete shambles, her charming soon-to-be ex-husband Patrick, whom she discovers she still loves, arrives with the intention of winning her back. To complicate matters further, it seems as if her aunt’s death wasn’t an accident after all. And there’s just something about her new house that seems to interest all sorts of people.
