“I love writing these short stories,” Purl said recently. “They allow for me to explore a side of my characters not always shown in the novels. This holiday story involves a lot of the emotions we all experience during this time, so it's heartfelt and touching. But, it also contains a major family secret that causes a long-awaited resolution for one of the main characters.”
“My novels are most definitely romantic—and early editions have won several romance awards. Yet the love relationships don’t conclude the way readers might expect. They’re full of surprises and complexities.”
“What I write is Women’s Fiction—a larger, more encompassing genre, which includes romance as a category, but allows for a more complex story structure. Mine is also a Women’s Fiction Series, which makes it even less traditional, in that not all the storylines conclude in each book, some relationships and issues remain unresolved until later in the series.”
This may be Apple Pie, USA, but hearts are on the line, professions are at stake and a possible murder has tainted the landscape. Ending each plot line in a cliffhanger, Purl closes the saga with a peek at the next installment in the Milford-Haven series. A whirlwind of juicy drama with dangling-carrot closure.
