Tennessee Waltz in the Park and Visiting Donna Dee
by Zinnia Hope

These two distinct stories compliment one another and reveal the wonders of the heart, the unique magic of life, and the mysterious mechanics of the universe.

Tennesee Waltz in the Park

Lily's father convinces her that Jason left her for another woman. Over a century later, Lily finds herself wandering the frigid streets of a lonely town only to bump into an elderly Jason...but what power has allowed them to live for so long and why?

Visiting Donna Dee

Arnold Cuttshaver is released from prison after serving 50 years for murder. But is he really guilty? And what about Regina, who manages the bookstore where he works and lives? Is she really his Donna Dee from 50 years ago, or did the universe play a cruel trick on them too?

This is book II of a series that addresses most of what there is to know about writing a tight, exciting story.

Watch for book III which will involve more punctuation tips, sentence structure, character point of view, knowing your genres, etc.
