Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know!
I love your books. I just finished book 3 of Wyndham Beach series…I am praying there will be a book 4. Hopefully waiting.
Please continue with the next book after Dune Drive. I loved that series and also the Hudson sisters.
Thank you,
Win
I too have just finished The Chesapeake Diaries series once again and feel like I have been left hanging. Grace left hints of someone else coming to Cannonball Island to have Ruby help to get their life in order. I figured it would be Christie’s brother, who she had just gotten reunited with, with his two young children. Are there going to be anymore books in the series? I would sure love if it went on.
On the last Chesapeake book In the diary bit at the end Grace hinted at babies and someone else coming to Canonball Island was that just a tease?
I have reread the books once again and no doubt will again but would love another book with all the news. I was thinking it was Chrissie’s brother Luke that was coming?
Hopefully, at some point, a fourth Hudson Sisters novel will be available. Don’t continue to leave us wondering about this interesting family.
I enjoy all of your books, have read most of them. Am re-reading them now. I like John Mancini but don’t find a book telling his story and how he had to go into seclusion. Am I just missing it? Please keep on writing. Thank you.
Love your writing, any more for the series Hudson Sister novels? Read them 4 times each. Please write at least one more. Love them. Also the Chesapete series.
The ‘Mercy’ series didn’t finalize the result of the Mexican drug lord looking for Emme and Chloe. Was this resolved in any other book?
Enjoyed the Chesapeake Diaries, will there be any mote?
