There are over forty romantic short stories in this collection, each one individual and unique, just like love itself. My story was written many years ago and I am happy it has found a home here.

No really, why?
A lot of authors seem to believe that “omg you HAVE to have your books on Amazon! How will anyone find them otherwise???”
This is completely unfounded, and untrue. Before I go on, I will tell you, my books are on Amazon. But I honestly don’t care if you never buy one there, because – take a look at the price there – for each paperback copy that sells there I will receive less than one US dollar, and it will take months for it to actually get to my bank account.
I’m going to cut to the chase. Amazon is not your friend. Amazon is not the friend of books, or publishers, especially indie publishers like my little company. I’ve spent way too much time recently explaining this to people who want to know why it’s so hard to find Propertius Press’s books on Amazon.
Hey, you can find them all day long at Barnes & Noble, the Apple Store, Kobo, and any bricks and mortar store can order them through Ingram, the world’s largest and best-known distributor. If I jumped through all the hoops that Amazon wants me to just to get my books a bit more visible on their site? I would have to say goodbye to selling anywhere else.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s some happy reading.

I think, from now on, whenever people ask me about why it’s so hard to find our books on Amazon, I’ll point them here. I really, really appreciate our authors. But if you read all of these articles and still have questions, I’ll probably seriously rethink our relationship.
THE BOOK:Â Lucky Southern Women.
PUBLISHED IN: 2014.
THE AUTHOR:Â Susannah Eanes.
THE EDITOR: Rachael Stern.
THE PUBLISHER: Propertius Press, a small literary press in Virginia.
SUMMARY: The rural landscape entwines around the lives and loves of two strong, yet troubled women, a beautiful contrast to the beliefs they absorbed as children. Only in moving beyond the past can they forge a way ahead not only for themselves, but for their loved ones. In so doing, each finds something vital that will give them the power and resilience they need to meet the greatest challenge of all. Lucky Southern Women explores the marks that fundamentalist religion has left on the lives and outlooks of two best friends, close as sisters, yet far apart in the ways each deals with her own moral compass. Frank, practical Phoebe and elusive, romantic yet wise Sophie.

I’m in the process of moving files to different webservers and making several rather substantial changes to various online presences. I’m not sure how everything is going to shape up yet – I am Pisces, after all. Rest assured that no matter what, it’s bound to be interesting.
While I’m busy setting up the place, kindly ramble over to my original blog… a bit of earth, where I do book reviews, or my other site at wordpress:Â sophie’s place, where I post thoughts on whatever I think pertinent – or impertinent – at the moment. Writing samples may be found here.
