A Flood of Posies

Not My Boy
by Kelly Simmons
When Hannah packs up her past and moves to the cottage next-door to her sister, she hopes the luxe neighborhood and close family ties will be the perfect escape for her son and the shadows that trail them.

 Cook's Coveby Judy Leslie
Jenny promises her eccentric aunt she will run the antique shop and live in the hundred-year-old house in Cook’s Cove when her aunt dies. But is she prepared to give up her career, lifestyle, and fiancé in San Francisco, California for a life in a small Northwestern coastal town to fulfill that promise?

Blind Turn
by Cara Sue Achterberg
Liz Johnson single-handedly raised an exemplary daughter—honor student, track star, and all-around good kid—despite the disapproval of her father and her small town. Could that same teenager be responsible for the death of the high school’s beloved football coach? This is Texas, where high school football ranks right up there with God. While the legal battle wages, the public deals its own verdict, and Liz must find a way to save her daughter, and in so doing--herself.

Hear Us Roar! Debut Author Podcast
Now a resident of the Tar Heel state, Michele Levy lived a nomadic life growing up, living in
Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Her college degree in history and her
love of language and literature steered her to UNC for graduate studies, where the field of
Comparative Literature provided the perfect avenue to explore all her interests. Once she moved
to New Orleans with her husband, she become an assistant professor, teaching and publishing on
Russian and European authors while raising three children, and eventually chairing her
department. Her life-long passion for the distinctive richness and vitality of the Balkan culture, a
painful amalgam of both East and West, led her to study and eventually publish on the literature
and history of that region and ultimately, provided the rich background for her debut novel.
Listen to the interview with Michele.
