About The Book

For the past four years, Tamsyn Norwood has operated the family’s pumpkin patch and corn maze. Although the business barely breaks even. During college, she spent a glorious night in a pumpkin patch with her boyfriend. Sadly, that relationship didn’t last, but she has worked hard to recreate the special feeling for others. If the patch income doesn’t improve by November first, her father threatens to plow the acres for a cash crop. She works herself ceaselessly to come up with supporting activities to keep the business going.

Ex-professional football player Harper Ashton is in town visiting an old college buddy. Released from his team because of an injured elbow, he’s at a crossroads over what comes next in his life. Life in this small town is nothing he’s ever experienced, and he soaks in the sense of community. He crosses paths with a college sweetheart, and suddenly, he has a new goal. Maybe his marketing degree and his famous name will help her struggling enterprise.

Working together reminds them of their college years. But can they recapture a love under the harvest moonlight?

My Thoughts

Tamsyn Norwood has taken over her mother’s dream of running the family’s pumpkin patch. It’s become so important to her in the past four years to keep what her mother started alive.
Her family doesn’t see it this way, not even her father who Tamsyn thought it would be important to him to keep his late wife’s dream alive. They say it’s just business no time to get sentimental and want to plow the pumpkin patch under and plant it with a more profitable crop.
She tries to come up with ideas to make the patch more profitable, but she seems to be on the losing end.
Harper Ashton, an old friend and more importantly old flame, visiting town may just the remedy she needs to keep the pumpkin patch afloat as they work together for the common good. I enjoyed seeing the spark reunite between this couple and the kindness they exhibit towards each other putting new marketing techniques into place.
Fun, heartwarming read.

About The Author

As a young girl, I spent lots of my free time lying on my bed reading about fascinating characters having exciting adventures in places far away and in other time periods. In later years, I discovered and devoured family saga stories and romance novels. At a certain point, I grew cocky enough to think I could write one of these stories. Then I learned what a balancing act writing a novel is, but I wasn’t deterred. Twelve years later, my first fiction sale was achieved–a confession story.

After reading Debra Holland’s “Montana Sky” series and Caroline Fyffe’s “Prairie Hearts” series, I wanted to try my hand at historicals. I was thrilled to be invited to contribute to Sweetwater Springs Christmas and continued writing in the Montana Sky world by developing my Entertainers of the West series.

Married with 4 adult children and 2 granddaughters, I now write heartwarming contemporary and historical stories with a touch of humor and a bit of sass from my home in the southern California mountains. Lots of my stories are set in Texas where I lived for a dozen years.
