Newport Book Club Series
“4 Books, 4 Women, 4 Lives Changed Forever.”
The Newport Ladies Book Club is a parallel novel series where four writers each wrote the story of a member of a book group. The books cover the same period of time, but show events from each woman’s perspective in that woman’s book. You can read one book, or all four books–each has its own plot–and yet the four books, together, complete an additional story arc.

About the Series
In 2009, while on a book tour with my good friend and fellow author, Julie Wright, she and I brainstormed an idea for a series. The series would be about a women’s book club, each volume would be about one of the members of the book club and explore the lives of different women with a common bond; great books. The twist for this series would be that the different books would be written by different authors, and the novels would cover similar periods of time, making them parallel in regard to timeline and unique in regard to voice and style. Not long after returning from this book tour, we talked to two of our good friends and fellow authors, Annette Lyon and Heather Moore–two writers we felt could capture this vision with us.
The first four books in the series are being released a few months apart throughout 2012 and we hope to follow this first set with an additional four volumes in 2013. My first book in the series is titled “Daisy” and is about a woman in her mid-forties who feels she’s risen above the struggles of her past and knows exactly what to expect in the future. Except, she really has no idea what’s right around the corner. When everything changes, Daisy finds her perspective of the past, present, and future shifting dramatically. This story is about personal growth, strength in the face of adversity, and faith in ourselves and in a purpose beyond our view. I had a great time writing this book and am excited to see what readers think of both Daisy’s story, and the series as a whole.
