I’ve been blogging here
ever since signing my first publishing contract in 2009. I really do
feel like I’m turning a new page, beginning a new chapter in my career.
It seems the perfect time to begin again with a new (very clean) slate.<br />
<br />
I'll keep this blog live in order to preserve the story of my publishing journey so far. But you should head on over to <a href="http://hollyschindler.wordpress.com/">hollyschindler.wordpress.com</a> to keep up with the latest.<br />
<br />
Of course I’ll be writing about forthcoming releases, but I also
want to feature more how-to posts as well as advice to burgeoning
writers. If you’ve got a question you’d like to ask or a subject you’d
like me to address, don’t hesitate to shoot a message through the new blog's contact page.<br />
<br />
Here’s to 2017!<br />

I hope you're all in the midst of thoroughly enjoying your holiday. My
favorite part is actually shopping for gifts--finding that just-right
thing that will bring a smile or (better yet) a laugh from the
recipient. I hope your houses are decorated and your kitchens smell like
gingerbread...<br />

Looking ahead to the new year, I've decided to streamline my newsletter. I'm dividing my newsletters into separate lists for reading level and genre--that way, instead of receiving ALL my news, you'll only receive news regarding the genre(s) you're the most interested in.<br />

<b>Forever Love in the Town of Finley</b><br /><br /><i>True love never dies</i>—or
so Amos Hargrove, a brave Civil War soldier who lost his beloved before
they could marry, still believes. His spirit, some say, pervades the
town he founded and named for his sweet fair-haired young beauty. In
Finley, dreams come true, love blossoms, and second chances are
unearthed. Is Amos’s spirit truly at work, granting wishes as he
continues to search for his own love? Does his unfulfilled desire
continue to have influence on those who call Finley home? What will it
take to finally unite two souls meant to be together?<br /><br /><b>Forever Finley</b>
is a collection of stand-alone yet interconnected short stories; when
read cover to cover, the stories build like chapters in a novel. As a
whole, Forever Finley explores the many facets of love—whether that love
takes the form of friendship, romance, or passion for one’s life
calling. These warm, uplifting, often magical tales detail loss and
perseverance, the strength of the human spirit, and the ability of love
to endure…forever.<br />

MILES LEFT YET - For the reader in your life who is either newly retired or thinking or retirement. In MILES, a road trip for a motley crew from the Granite Ridge Retirement
Community—in a vintage Mustang convertible, no less—quickly turns into
an adventure of second chances, fresh starts, and the discovery that
love is never a landmark in the rearview mirror. No matter what the
odometer reads, as long as there’s gas in the tank, there are always
still new roads to explore...plenty of miles left yet.</div>

ONE FATEFUL CHRISTMAS EVE - For your fan of clean romance or women's fiction. Mallory Stewart is a young on-the-rise editor, certain she's about to land a position at one of the “Big Five” publishing houses. All she has
to do to clinch the deal is attend her prospective boss’s Christmas Eve
party. But Graham Kendall, the charismatic author of a bestselling book
on fate, insists her plans are about to be thwarted. Mallory immediately
discounts Dr. Kendall’s warnings. Though she edited his book, the
industrious Mallory believes in hard work rather than luck or good
fortune. When a series of devastating Christmas Eve misadventures
conspire against her, Mallory is forced to reexamine everything—her
beliefs, her dreams, her own definition of success. What will Mallory
choose? What will she discover—about Graham, about her own destiny, even
about…a man’s socks? (Yes, socks.)</div>

journey with me! When I wrote "Come December" last November, I had no
idea it would spiral into what has since become my favorite writing
project. I've loved returning to the town of Finley once a month
throughout 2016--and I've learned so much being able to rapid-fire
publish throughout the year. I've appreciated both your enthusiasm and
feedback.<br />
<br />
That having been said, I'm delighted to announce that the FOREVER FINLEY
FINALE is now live. I found the last two stories--"Pale November" and
"December Bells" flowed one right into the next, and felt it was best to
put them together in the same download:<br />
<br />
<h2>
THE FOREVER FINLEY FINALE</h2>

The conclusion to the </b><b>Forever Finley Short Story Series…or is it?</b>
<br />
<div>
<br />
Named for the young woman who died tragically before her wedding day,
Finley is a small town unlike any other. Founded shortly after the Civil
War by Amos Hargrove, Finley Powell’s grieving fiancé, Finley-ites of
today still believe that Amos’s undying affection—and a million little
miracles—will reunite two hearts meant to be together. Will the legend
that has perpetuated the idea of their forever love finally be
fulfilled? Can a happy ending actually be the beginning of a new chapter
for a town called Finley?<br />

I can't even begin to describe how excited I am about this ending. (Because the last two stories bleed one into the next, I'm releasing them both in the same download.)<br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I'm like most of you when I say I think Christmas needs to get in
line. Thanksgiving is too often an overlooked holiday, and
Halloween--come on! That's the best holiday OF ALL TIME. (I'm being
totally serious. It's my fave. I always have my costume ready by late
August. This year, I'm going as myopic Cleopatra.)<br />
<br />
But: I'm also like most of you when I say I need to plan for and spread
my Christmas gift-buying out across several months. With that in mind,
I've just released my newest read--a novella titled ONE FATEFUL
CHRISTMAS EVE.<br />
<br />
<img class="tl-email-image" data-id="1095913" src="http://gallery.tinyletterapp.com/1348d31a185f82df06fec27b61ad97be256af34e/images/91eae620-1c1b-4f67-8ff4-56665590cfb5.jpg" style="float: left; max-width: 330px;" /><br /> </div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I strove to make ONE FATEFUL CHRISTMAS EVE everything I want myself in a
gift book: It's affordable ($7.50 for the paperback, $2.99 for the
e-book), it's uplifting, it's a fun, quick read (177 pages), it's sweet,
it's got just the perfect hint of romance, and it's clean--the kind of
clean you can feel good about giving to any voracious reader in your
life: a mother, daughter, even teacher.<br />

<h4>
<strong>More about ONE FATEFUL CHRISTMAS EVE:</strong></h4>
<strong>Is the magic of Christmas Eve enough to change Mallory’s mind and heart? </strong><br />
<br />
Mallory Stewart is an on-the-rise young editor certain she’s about to
land a position at one of the “Big Five” publishing houses. All she has
to do to clinch the deal is attend her prospective boss’s Christmas Eve
party. But Graham Kendall, the charismatic author of a bestselling book
on fate, insists her plans are about to be thwarted. Mallory immediately
discounts Dr. Kendall’s warnings. Though she edited his book, the
industrious Mallory believes in hard work rather than luck or good
fortune. When a series of devastating Christmas Eve misadventures
conspire against her, Mallory is forced to reexamine everything—her
beliefs, her dreams, her own definition of success. What will Mallory
choose? What will she discover—about Graham, about her own destiny, even
about…a man’s socks? (Yes, socks.)<br />

Some of the best writing advice I ever got as a student came from a literature professor, rather than a writing
professor. In fact, he was by far my favorite professor in the entire
department.<br />
<br />
I met this particular professor when I signed up for his course in
Literary Criticism. The class was a real struggle for me, in the
beginning—so much so, I wound up seeking this professor out to try to
gain some perspective, some insight into how to better attack the
subject matter. <br />
<br />
The advice this professor gave me was to forget “good.” It wasn’t my
job to determine whether or not a book, poem, story, etc. was worth
reading. Other people with far better credentials had, in fact, already
determined the work was “good.” It had made its way into the literary
canon. It was a classic. My job, as a literature student, was to
figure out why. What separated this work from its contemporaries? Why
did it survive while others produced in the same vein were forgotten?<br />
<br />
When I graduated, I dove headfirst into becoming a full-time author. Not that it came quickly or easily (it actually took 7 1/2 years of effort to get the first yes). While I was up to my eyeballs in rejections, I returned to
that prof's lesson. I checked out piles and piles of contemporary juvenile
literature from my local library (I had just begun to turn toward writing MG and YA), and attacked each book in the same way
I’d once attacked the works I’d read for my literature professor. I
went at it thinking, “Okay, somebody—an agent, an editor, a publishing
house—has already decided this book is good. Why? What does this book
have that made it a work to be acquired? What are this author’s
strengths?”<br />
<br />
That lesson, more than any other, helped me move toward publication.
And I’d like to encourage anyone in pursuit of publication to do the
same. For one year, I challenge you to find something good in each new
book you read.<br />
<br />
It’s easy, when you’re covered in rejection, to fall into a pattern of
negative thinking. That negative thinking could be projected inward
(“I’m no good. I’ll never be in the company of published authors. I
don’t have anything new to offer. Who would read my work when so many
other great authors are already out there?”) Or, the negative thinking
could be projected outward (“Published books are crap. These published
authors are no good. My work is better than this. The reason my work
isn’t being accepted is because editors only want crap.”)<br />
<br />
Another negative thought pre-published authors fall into is the idea
that a rejection means that the editor or agent is telling you that your
work isn’t of high enough quality. That’s not it at all. Yet again, I
encourage you to forget “good.” A rejection isn’t an editor telling
you that you’re not good enough. In fact, I once worked with an editor
who told me that she picked books that she felt she could edit in a way
no one else could…she picked books she felt she could make a unique kind
of editorial thumbprint on. She said she did pass on many books that
were well done—it was about finding the right match. <br />
<br />
For one year, then, I encourage any would-be authors to ditch the
negative thinking—which can really hamper your writing. Let
go of the idea that a rejection is a way to tell you that you’re not
good enough. Let go of the idea that you don’t measure up. And while
you should always, always, always have faith and pride in your
abilities, let go of the notion that the published books you check out
are somehow inferior. Decide, every time you pick up a book, that
you’re going to learn from it.<br />
<br />
For one year, forget good. Look at each read objectively and ask
yourself, “Why did this one make it?” You may decide that it was
because of the concept, or because of the writer’s ability to handle a
plot twist, or because of the author’s voice. You may see value in
their character development or humor. Find some positive reason for the
book being acquired.<br />
<br />
Then challenge yourself. Figure out how to incorporate other authors’
admirable qualities into your work in your own way. I contend it’s far
more useful to try to emulate something positive than it is to avoid
something negative. <br />
<br />
I would bet that by the end of the year, you will have made progress in
some way. You’ll have graduated from form rejections to personalized
rejections—or maybe even signed with an agent. Or, you might have decided to hire an editor and brave going indie. I would, in fact, love
to hear your own stories of how this “Positive Reading Challenge” helped
your own publication pursuit. Take the challenge, and at the end of
the year, shoot me a message. (I can always be reached through my
website or social media). I’d love to know how it impacted you. <br />
<br />
I’m grateful every day for my prof’s lesson—it helped me in ways I never
could have anticipated, back when I was a literature student trying to
navigate through his class. It actually turned out to be some of the best
professional advice I ever received. I’m betting that it’ll help you,
too. I can’t wait to hear how.Holly Schindlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104693499308057816.post-63335835181054613512016-09-28T07:00:00.000-05:002016-09-28T07:00:27.519-05:00FREE HALLOWEEN READ (FOREVER FINLEY #11)I absolutely love, love <i>loved </i>getting to write the next

"October Omen" throws a new major obstacle into the reunion of Amos and
his sweetheart, Finley. It also offers up a few spine-tingling moments
for Kelly, the wedding planner and dress designer we first met in
"Forget February":<br />

<b>Forever Finley <u>Short Story</u> #11: Superstitions float around us
constantly. We choose to believe or discount them based on where our
hearts happen to be at that particular moment.</b><br />
<br />
Kelly Marx, Finley’s
premiere wedding planner and dress designer, is on a mission to get
access to a Civil War-era shawl for Natalie, the latest bride to hire
her. But Mary, the elderly owner of the shawl, isn’t the only force to
come between Kelly and her goal. When the shawl goes missing, Kelly also
encounters mysterious characters and a slew of bad omens—but what does
it all add up to? What does it foretell? Where will Kelly’s skeptical
heart lead her?<br />

Auggie, the main character, becomes a folk artist, making sculptures out of "upcycled" materials. In order to do that, she can't see the world in a literal way--she sees a rusted pipe and thinks, "ballerina." Her ability to see the world in a poetic way is a big part of the reason why I felt her voice ought to be filled with metaphor and simile throughout--it only made sense that her poetic vision should be apparent even in the line-by-line descriptions.<br />
<br />
I've made a small graphic including some of my favorite descriptive / figurative phrases from the book. Feel free to grab the graphic and use it in your own classroom:<br />

I've also begun to create some boards on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/hollyschindler3/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>featuring ideas for using my books in the classroom--and I'd love to get teachers involved!

I frequently use metaphor in my descriptions.<br />
<br />
But my latest YA, SPARK, takes metaphor to a new level. Instead of using the device in order to flesh out description, I use it in the plot, as a way to drive events.<br />

<i><b>Acclaimed author Holly Schindler writes a
compelling contemporary tale with a dash of magic. The theater comes to
life in this story of family ties, fate, love, and one girl’s quest to
rewrite history.</b></i><br />
<br />
The local Avery Theater was just a run-down
building to Quin—until her mother told her about the tragic love that
played out on the theater’s stage many years ago. Quin is convinced it’s
the perfect story to re-create for her drama class. And when she does,
the Avery begins to magically regain its former splendor, clearly
setting the stage for her classmates Dylan and Cass to relive the
romance from a time before. Quin can see the spark between them, but
it’s up to her to make sure her friends—and the Avery—can both be saved
this time around.</div>

themselves what actually transpired: readers can debate, in class, whether they
believe the magical events of the book are to be taken literally, or are to be
read on a more metaphorical level, as the work of the protagonist’s “writerly imagination” (and have only
played out in the theater of young Quin’s mind). Did the Avery Theater magically regenerate? Did Quin's friends get a chance to see themselves without their flaws? Or has everything that has transpired on the pages actually a metaphor for the power of the theater? The way the theater allows us all to escape--whether we're in the audience or onstage? </span></div>

Last winter, I offered "Come December" as a holiday story to my readers. And I was truly surprised by the results; the story hit the e-readers, tablets, and computers of readers who had never picked up one of my books before. Readers were also taking time out of their busy holidays to shoot me emails, tell me how much they enjoyed the short tale.<br />
<br />
The response was so positive, in fact, that I decided to continue the story--the FOREVER FINLEY SHORT STORY SERIES was born.<br />
<br />
The series has released once a month throughout 2016; each is a stand-alone, and each takes place in the small town of Finley. Read alone, each story creates on picture; read together, the stories create a completely different portrait of the magical town.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've been so thankful to my readers, who have followed along with the series all year. And who have reviewed and recommended the stories to other reading friends.<br />
<br />
To show my appreciation, I'm offering a giveaway: 1 winner will receive a free e-book of this year's holiday tale (tentatively titled ONE FATEFUL CHRISTMAS EVE). This year, it's a novella, not a short story.<br />
<br />

stir his students' imagination.<br />
<br />
I met Mr. Dosch last year, when his class wrote letters to Auggie, the main character of THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY. (Of course Auggie wrote them back!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year, he got his reading class off to a running start with my latest release, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wordquake-Ashby-Removed-Entire-School/dp/0996166750/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" target="_blank">WORDQUAKE</a>.<br />
<br />
I wrote WORDQUAKE thinking of the <a href="http://hollyschindler.blogspot.com/2016/08/wordquake-illustrated-short-book-for.html" target="_blank">"kinda-sorta" readers</a>; the book features the misadventures of Izzy Ashby, a girl who'd rather be anywhere but the library.<br />
<br />
To encourage both close and creative thinking, Mr. Dosch posed two questions to his class:<br />
<br />
1. Izzy accidentally removes all the words from her school, making it impossible to do any bookwork. Shortly thereafter, the Izzy Ashby Fan Club is formed, and is said to have 100% membership. Dosch asked his class if they think this is a true 100%, considering the fact that Alexander Gum (a fourth grade scientist / inventor and the only person in all of Eastwood Elementary with working knowledge of wordquakes) loves his reading so much. Did Alexander join? Why would he? Or do you think that the membership of the fan club was 99.9%? Why?<br />
<br />
2. Before reading the last chapter, Mr. Dosch asked his class to imagine how the book would end. Would Izzy save the day? How?<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mr. Dosch's class at work.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Mr. Dosch was kind enough to share the responses with me, and they were all just an utter delight! I loved getting a chance to hear how his students were interacting with the book--I especially enjoyed their predictions regarding the book's end. Some were already feeling Izzy's change of heart regarding the power of words; others had really imaginative ideas on how Izzy would put the words back in their rightful place. (Ideas involving wind or evaporation or scooping the words into a bag or even using her head flashlight to melt them back into place...)<br />
<br />
Thanks, Mr. Dosch's 4th grade! I'm so glad I got to be a part of your new school year.

Michael is a failed musician at heart and a coffee shop barista by day.
Will the century-old legend of his hometown provide the magic he needs
to finally succeed—and in so doing, will Michael have the power to
assist in the long-awaited reunion of Finley's first sweethearts?<br />

In my MG, THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND LUCKY, Auggie and Gus become folk artists. But they're not content to simply make a few fun trinkets, paintings, or small sculptures. Instead, they turn their entire home into a regular folk art environment!<br />
<br />
For teachers looking to jump-start interest in the concept of folk art--and to give young readers some idea of just how incredibly wild Auggie and Gus's house must look--consider sharing a few of these real-life folk art environments with your students:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Towers" target="_blank">The Watts Towers in California</a> - Hundred-foot tall spiraling structures made of rebar and covered in concrete and broken glass or pottery shards.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://www.wilsonwhirligigpark.org/" target="_blank">Vollis Simpson's Whirligig Park</a> - Auggie and Gus make whirligigs to put in their own front yard!<br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://orangeshow.org/" target="_blank">The Orange Show</a> - This one defies explanation. But Houston (the city where the Orange Show is located) also hosts an <a href="http://www.thehoustonartcarparade.com/" target="_blank">Art Car Show</a>--which would certainly spark many boys' imaginations.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="http://www.thundermountainmonument.com/" target="_blank">Thunder Mountain</a> - A Native American monument.<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.bishopcastle.org/#" target="_blank">Bishop Castle</a> - Your kids will love this one! It includes an actual fire breathing dragon.<br />
<br />
Fair warning: Folks art environments are completely addictive. Once you get started looking at these amazing, imaginative structures, you just won't want to stop. Here's an additional list of <a href="http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/stories/10-unforgettable-folk-art-environments" target="_blank">folk art environments</a> to feed your new addiction.<br />

I initially drafted WORDQUAKE last winter. I was doing a
bunch of Skypes at the time. My debut MG, THE JUNCTION OF SUNSHINE AND
LUCKY, had been placed on several state reading lists, so I was regularly
getting requests to talk to elementary classrooms and reading groups.
Frequently, I was meeting with groups of reluctant readers—one librarian described
her group as “kinda readers”—they kinda-sorta liked to read. And also, at the
time, I happened to see a few tweets from teachers just observing how
frequently the protagonist of MG novels were readers—or really great students.
And I wondered—is that a part of the reason why kinda-sorta readers
keep gravitating away from books? They’re not seeing themselves in the main
characters? That’s when I started brainstorming. I knew I wanted a shorter
read—I certainly felt a shorter read would be more appealing to those who
weren’t natural readers themselves. And I also wanted a main character who’d
rather be anywhere than the library.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I put the book up as an e-read last winter, and had several
teachers use the book—tell me how much their students were enjoying it. And now
that I’m moving my independent work into the print format, I knew that I had to
get WORDQUAKE into print as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those of you who have shared my books for young readers with
your own kids or students or younger library visitors know that I pretty
frequently gravitate toward art as a subject matter. My first novel ever was a
YA that featured a teenage artist, and my MG, THE JUNCTION, also features a young
girl who becomes a folk artist with her grandfather. I’ve always loved it
myself, took a ton of art classes throughout school, but never really had an
opportunity to incorporate it into my writing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the coolest parts of going indie is that the possibilities
for a writer are limitless—the only thing holding you back is you. So I took
the plunge into digital art: I did a bit of research, got a Wacom drawing
tablet and software and started in, illustrating WORDQUAKE.</div>

I had those not-straight-A students in my head again as I
started to sketch out illustrations. Those students who were not quite seeing
themselves in the pages of their books. And I knew I didn’t want the
illustrations to look perfect. I wanted them to look accessible. I think, at
times, things that are too polished can occasionally be discouraging to some
students—especially those who aren’t straight-A students. That’s not the effect
I wanted this book to have at all. I wanted students to be inspired to pick up
a pen and put it to paper in some way. I’ve also long appreciated the quick,
simple style of Liza Donnelly, who is a cartoonist for THE NEW YORKER. So with
that in mind, I drew simple graphics and illustrations of my own to accompany
WORDQUAKE. </div>

The stories are stand-alones, which means they can be read in any order. You jump in and read the current month's release, you can start at the very beginning with "Come December," or you can grab any story in the middle that just happens to pique your interest! By themselves, the stories paint one picture of the small town of Finley; read together, the create another.<br />
<br />
At this point in the year, with nine reads available, I felt it was important to put all the stories and descriptions together in one place, so that readers can easily pick which tale they'd like to read. These stories are all available at Kobo, B&N, iBooks, and Amazon. <br />

<b>A tale of big dreams, small towns, and friends who know you better than you know yourself.</b><br />
<br />
Annie returns to her small hometown of Finley to celebrate her newfound
success as an up-and-coming young artist...only to come face-to-face
with Justin, her childhood best friend and a journalist who recently
penned a scathing review of her work. Can an artist and her biggest
critic find common ground—or have Justin's words destroyed their

<b>A tale of happy accidents, mystical events, and the beautiful things

<br />
The
legend of Amos Hargrove is nothing more than a silly fairy tale,
according to the two people who are arguably the most broken-hearted in
the entire town of Finley. His spirit does not still exist, and he does
not play matchmaker or bring luck to those who need it…or does he?<br />

<b>A tale that asks if literary heroes ever do walk straight off the page into modern life.</b><br />
<br />
At
fifty-five, Jo, the proprietor of Jo March Books: Depository for the
New & Used, still clings to the idea of finding her very own Mr.
Darcy, the star of her beloved <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. When her
ex-husband returns to town (at the same time gifts begin to appear from a
“secret admirer,” no less), she wonders if she had wrongly pegged him
as her adversary…<br />

<b>A tale of long-distance relationships—the sort in which “distance”
refers not to the miles that stretch between you, but the miles you’ve
traveled together.</b><br />
<br />
Patricia has participated in the April’s Promise
Couples Race every year of her three-decades-long marriage with her
husband Timothy. This year, though, they find themselves facing a slew
of new challenges that steal their second winds and force them to
question whether they’ll make it past the finish line.<br />

<b>A tale that explores how holiday magic can carry forward into the
rest of the year, featuring Natalie and the mysterious George from “Come
December.”</b><br />
<br />
Engagement should be a happy time in a young woman’s
life, but for Natalie, it’s plagued with doubts. She’d only known Damien
four months when she accepted his proposal, and now, when the two are
together, she hears a distinct Mayday distress call. Where is the voice
coming from? Does it have anything to do with the enigmatic figure she
encountered in the cemetery last winter? Or is Natalie finding a way to
tell herself she thinks she’s about to go down in flames?<br />

<b>A tale that explores the frightening (and often wonderful) things
that can happen after disturbing the dust that has settled across life
as it’s always been.</b><br />
<br />
Annie Ames returns to her childhood hometown to
begin a project with her lifelong friend, Justin: a book documenting
the romantic folklore surrounding the legend of Amos Hargrove, the town
founder. But no one likes the fact that she’s “disturbing the
dust”—rifling through old memories and a more than century-old legend.
When Annie visits Mary, the town’s oldest resident, she opens an old
trunk—and along with a treasured antique wedding shawl, discovers
life-altering truths about her feelings for her closest friend…and about
the legend of Amos Hargrove and his sweetheart, Finley.<br />

<b>Mysterious sightings—and a legend of unrequited love—draws Finley’s
newest resident into the midst of the folklore surrounding the town.</b><br />
<br />
Norma
Johnson, owner of Finley’s only antique store, has always felt she was
mysteriously drawn to the small town. Forced to host the July vintage
car show, she bumps headlong into the legend that has surrounded Finley
for a century—and in so doing, gains a new perspective on the
far-reaching effects of love…<br />

<b>It has been said that seeds of love planted beneath an August moon will bind two meant to be together—forever.</b><br />
<br />
Two
different couples—one currently hoping to find common ground in their
relationship, the other a legendary pair wandering the town in their
relentless attempt to reunite—find their paths have suddenly intertwined
like wild Midwestern vines under the red August Heart Moon. Will Mark
and Jo decide their late-in-life romance can find new direction? And how
will the fabled Finley’s search for her beloved Amos be impacted by the
planting of her enchanted moon seeds?Holly Schindlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104693499308057816.post-24153573329504192142016-08-04T07:00:00.000-05:002016-08-12T20:07:17.976-05:00MILES LEFT YET AT B&N (NOOK PRESS PRINT)I'm delighted to announce that my indie novel MILES LEFT YET is now also available in print through <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/miles-left-yet-holly-schindler/1123247870;jsessionid=D266E3F899BA5E0C7879C783FB864570.prodny_store02-atgap01?ean=9780996166744" target="_blank">B&N.</a><br />
<br />
I was really impressed by the copy of MILES LEFT YET when it arrived. It's every bit as professional in quality as any of the books I've published through a traditional publisher. In fact, the feel of the matte cover reminded me of covers of the books I released through Flux (A BLUE SO DARK and PLAYING HURT).<br />
