No Regrets

Cover of Love in the Lowcountry A Winter Holiday Collection Volume 2

Lowcountry Romance Writers of America (LRWA) has published its second volume of short stories in a new anthology. Love in the Lowcountry Winter Holiday Collection Volume 2 has eleven stories that all take place in South Carolina between Halloween and Valentine’s Day.

LRWA strives to give authors the tools they need to get published. In going through the process of writing, editing, marketing, and selling an anthology, all levels of authors gain experience and knowledge. We appreciate all the hard work that goes into publishing a book. We thank all those involved. We have members from as far away as Idaho. We meet online seven times a year to allow our members to gather without traveling.

My story, “No Regrets,” is a seasoned romance. I first met Cantley and Alston in a dream. They gave me their story, though it has changed a bit after editing, of course.

Here’s the blurb:

Cantley, a widow in her sixties, moved back to her small village to start anew because she’s gone through a rough patch, but she’s unsure how to let go of the past.

Alston, the single silver fox, wants to meet people and explore the area because he’s ready to settle down, but his time is taken up working from home and caring for his elderly parents.

Will he be the distraction she needs? Will she let him in the door? Visit the Lowcountry in this seasoned romance to discover the answers.

And here’s a short snippet:

She began rationalizing with herself. He was new to town. She should show the famous southern hospitality, right? Taking care of a sick husband, the ensuing widowhood, and menopause had taken away her libido and her desire to be nice. Her children kept hounding her to get out of the house more, find new friends, meet up with old classmates, and visit old haunts. She’d just started feeling like herself again after taking a friend’s recommendation to try bioidentical hormone therapy. She’d have been more likely to say no, but he looked like a model from one of those underwear ads she kept seeing on social media. The doctor had said she’d start getting horny as her body adjusted to the hormones. They seemed to be kicking in.
