GARNET GALE GETS HER MAN
Historical Romance

Think, a girl, a guy, and random interference from a ghost, circa 19th Century New England.

MERRY ACRES WIDOWS WALTZ

They say retirement kills. And it looks that way in MERRY ACRES, a planned community in South Florida for the over-fifty-five crowd. Husbands are dropping fast.  Georgiana Duncan wonders who will next wear the black veil of widowhood. Should she be worried....or happy about such dire prospects? Perhaps, like Georgiana,  other wives in Merry Acres have secrets, too. Skeletons rattling around personal closets that so mar the gloss of happily-ever-after that only murder can make amends.

REVIEW for Pesto Packing Mama

“Nan D. Arnold has written fun contemporary fiction for what she calls “boomer babes” and she certainly delivers on this front. Expect to pick this one up and be unable to put it down until long after bedtime has come and gone, because you just have to know what happens next.”~ Jonita,bookchick

Romance Junkies Reviewer Dottie said...PESTO PACKIN’ MAMA is an exciting, action-packed contemporary romantic suspense.  Maggie has had a hard life in the past, but she tries to get beyond it, going to a therapist, exercising, anything to get Daniel out of her mind.  She even counts sheep to go to sleep…sheep she has dubbed with names like Regret, Remorse and If Only.  With humor, suspense, mystery, misunderstandings, an interesting plot, colorful characters and love, this story is delightful.  I recommend PESTO PACKIN’ MAMA to anyone looking for a terrific story.

REVIEW for Hitting the High Notes

Told with a similar humoristic style to Janet Evanovich and Sarah Strohmeyer, Hitting the High Notes grabs the reader with a lot of lively dialogue and non-stop action. With a protagonist who needs cold bursts of air to temper her hot flashes, the author has created an amusing, down-to-earth character that many Boomers will find themselves relating to. The story itself is fun and entertaining…. Hitting the High Notes is a good read. Reviewer: Lisa Haselton, Allbooks Reviews

"charming, funny novel" ~RT Reviews
