Women's Fiction

For champion professional knitter Dymphna Pearl, inheriting part of a sun-blasted ghost town in the Texas hill country isn’t just unexpected, it’s a little daunting. To earn a cash bequest that could change her life, she’ll have to leave California to live in tiny, run-down Fat Chance for six months—with seven strangers. Impossible! Or is it?

Trading her sandals for cowboy boots, Dymphna dives into her new life with equal parts anxiety and excitement. After all, she’s never felt quite at home in Santa Monica anyway. Maybe Fat Chance will be her second chance. But making it habitable is going take more than a lasso and Wild West spirit. With an opinionated buzzard overlooking the proceedings and mismatched strangers learning to become friends, Dymphna wonders if unlocking the secrets of her own heart is the way to strike real gold.

Re: Welcome to Fat Chance, Texas

The title of your book was deceiving. I'm glad that I read the whole story about how your book was put together, or I never would have had a "chance" at wanting to read a book with a more interesting story line such as yours!! This is just the type of book that will shake up the lineup of books that I've been reading this Summer, and take me out of the doldrums a bit. I've been going out of my genre a bit this year and testing the waters, and although your book doesn't do that, the story line is different enough to fall into that category. Thank you for coming here and letting us know about your book!! Congratulations on your book, and I hope that it does well!!

Thanks for sharing your background info and how you develop your characters and plot. Can't resist the title of your book with all of its implications.
Wondering if your field producing experiences have given you ideas for your writing?
