Avery LawrenceThe first boy that Avery ever kissed gave up a pickup truck for that one fleeting experience. No joke. The boy's father told him he would give him a pickup truck if he didn't kiss a girl before he turned sixteen. There was some consternation, but tha first kiss won out. Thus began Avery's love affair with the mystery of romance. Don't worry; with experience, Avery realized that boy was never getting that truck, but at twelve it was the most idealistic thing anyone could've done in the name of love. Avery has always been passionate about writing. She has a stack of journals she kept through high school and college (she just can't decide if she should burn them-or mine them for material) and folders full of stories she has started (some she's even finished).In 2019, when the love of her life entered her world, she learned that Happily-Ever-After does exist. In tumultuous times, before and after that, she learned books are the greatest escape. So it was natural that these would come together. Her goal is to sweep you away and warm your heart. So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, curl up, and journey to Rose River-where the cowboys still have ranches, the ocean isn't too far away, and love is always the order of the day.
