After exploring the immediate area around our B&B, we made our way to the subway. I had never ridden on the subway before and I was at a complete loss as to what I needed to do. Thankfully I didn’t need to know a thing, since my sister in law and her hubby were very familiar with getting around by subway. All I had to do was follow. I was such a tourist. OHH LOOK A SUBWAY! LOOK AT THE SUBWAY TILES!! IS THAT A SUBWAY TRAIN?? I was certainly embarrassing everyone, but it was pretty cool. Don’t worry, I calmed down by the third or forth train. We got off the subway and made our way to the surface. The first site of the Eiffel Tower peeking out from behind another building looked completely photo-shopped. I was staring at something that I have known all my life, but to see it in person was unreal. It was truly as thrilling as one would hope it would be. I grabbed my baby basset’s hands and made my way to the tower, weaving past a dozen street vendors selling tiny Eiffel towers in a multitude of colors. I dragged my poor babies as quickly as possible to get a clear view. This was the start of the 1000 pictures I would be taking over the next 17 days.

In 1960, a tragic death in the family calls young Sarah Browning back from college to her Appalachian homestead. Unable to return to school and finish her degree, she finds herself facing a future that isn’t what she’d planned. Lost and grieving, she wanders onto her reclusive neighbor’s property where she stumbles across the all-too-attractive Owen Campbell, a man hiding secrets she’d only ever thought were legend.
Owen Campbell was raised on the folklore of Eastern Kentucky, tales of men and women with magical abilities from shape-shifting to healing powers. Rejected by those he loves because of his own abilities, he isolates himself from the world. When he meets Sarah, he’s faced with the tough decision of whether to let her in or stay hidden away to keep his heart safe.

“Firefly Hollow” is the first book in the Firefly Hollow series, which are Women’s Fiction Romances set in Appalachia, featuring elements of traditional Appalachian folklore with a paranormal bent.
