"In those happy days we were so much in love we lived about a foot above the ground. We had one perfect Christmas then, I lost him. It took me a while to find him again-but this time it was forever." As my dear Bernadette spoke those words I felt the ground shift, just a little. Not unlike one of the small tremors that move the earth for those of us who live along the San Andreas fault-line. I was only nine years old at the time, so I had no way of knowing how much the story that followed would truly move me-how much I would come to rely on the tale and the teller of the tale. Tears streamed down my face, as I struggled to make sense of the joy radiating from the woman who held me in her arms and gave me my first glimpse of something transcendent." Jessica Huntington ***** A story of love, loss, and inspiration set in the 1960s, told to Jessica Huntington in the 1980s, and shared with us today. For fans of the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery Series, the story is narrated by the protagonist in that series. The story is Bernadette's. A tragic, but ultimately uplifting story of love lost and found again, in Bernadette's words, "it's a real happily ever after story." Hers is the kind of story everyone faces who takes that leap of faith into love. A love that lifts us up about a foot above the ground leaves us vulnerable and pushes us toward something more lasting.
Life is an extravaganza! Figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge. On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had married in Tijuana, I was nabbed as a runaway. Eventually, the police let me go, but the rock band broke up. Our next stop: Disney World, where we trained to be chefs. More education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. For decades I researched, wrote, and spoke about a number of gloriously nerdy topics. Retired now, I'm still married to the same sweet guy and live with him near Palm Springs, California. In addition to Love, A Foot Above the Ground, a sweet story of love and loss set in the 1960s, I write the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series set here in the Sonoran Desert. It is a spectacular place to ponder life's mysteries while relishing the delights of the desert resort cities. The books in this series are romantic mysteries with a dash of humor, Book 1, A DEAD HUSBAND, was released December, 2013. Book 2, A DEAD SISTER, released April, 2014. Book 3, A DEAD DAUGHTER, out soon. Love, A Foot Above the Ground, is a kind of prequel to the Jessica Huntington series and features two of the main characters in those books. Thanks for reading!
