Suzanne’s New Book

Suzanne Woods Fisher Love on a Whim

When her plans wilt before her eyes, can she revive her dreams?

Escape to Cape Cod–where you just might find the secret to happiness.

Callie Dixon had the world by its tail . . . until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she’s escaped to her aunt’s home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn’t a home, it’s an ice cream shop.

And time isn’t going to help, because Callie’s bounce has up and left. There’s a reason she made that mistake at work and she’s struggling to come to terms with it.

Things go from bad to worse when Callie’s cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco–a curiously gloomy fellow–is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie’s thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.

Could Bruno be right when he says that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be?

If so, how is that supposed to help her find exactly what–or who–has been missing all along?

I have been writing like crazy! I’m working on a contemporary romance novella set in the same world as my debut novel, Finding Forevermore, coming soon to Kickstarter. I can’t wait to share it with you!

It’s about Nina LeRoux— a French-American bibliophile who dreams of opening a bookshop in the quaint town of Elkwood, Pennsylvania. But when disaster strikes, she’s forced to choose what matters most—preserving her dream at all costs or embracing the unexpected bonds of community and love that life throws her way.
