Pieces of Blue
by
Liz Flaherty

Life comes in shades of blue...
For all of her adult life, loner Maggie North has worked for bestselling author Trilby Winterroad, first as his typist, then as his assistant, and finally as his ghost writer. Throughout her first marriage, widowhood, remarriage, and divorce from an abusive husband, Trilby was the constant in her life.
When he dies, she inherits not only his dachshund, Chloe, but a house she didn’t know existed on a lake she’d never heard of. On her first visit, she falls in love with both the house and the lake. Within a few weeks, she’s met most of the 85 inhabitants of Harper Loch and surprisingly, become a part of the tiny community. Her life expands as does a new kind of relationship with her friend Sam Eldridge. She finally feels not only at home, but safe.
Until her ex-husband is released from prison. The fragile threads of her new life begin to fray, and that feeling of safety is about to shatter into a thousand pieces.

Backstory about the story.
My friend Tami said Town Lake was there and had been for…well, she had no idea how long. But it was less than 10 miles from my house, less than five from where I grew up. How could I not have known it was there? My sister said that of course it was there. Where had I been? 
So my husband and I turned where she said to, just south of Akron, Indiana. “It’s a T road. You can’t miss it.” Even with its small green sign identifying Town Lake road, we could and did miss it. But there it was—the lake I’d never heard of and had possibly insisted wasn’t even there. That few-minute trek back a dead-end road introduced me to what a reader named Harper Loch. Not everything in Pieces of Blue happens there—there are only 86 people on the lake, one store, one church, and one beauty salon, after all—but Placer, the town closest to it, strongly resembles Akron. 
Akron is where my doctor’s office is, where I go to church, where two of my nieces live, where I used to sit at the drugstore counter and drink a small coke and talk to friends. My first bra and many pairs of stockings came from Eber’s Five & Ten. They have a great 4th of July parade and a pretty little park like the one you’ll read about in Maggie’s story. 
Between the lake that wasn’t there and the town I’ve taken for granted for my entire life, one of my favorite settings was born. I hope you enjoy meeting Harper Loch’s residents in Pieces of Blue. It’s out today and its ebook version is just 99 cents today!

About the author.
Liz Flaherty has spent the past several years enjoying not working a day job, making terrible crafts, and writing stories in which the people aren’t young, brilliant, or even beautiful. She’s decided (and has to re-decide most every day) that the definition of success is having a good time. Along with her husband of lo, these many years, kids, grands, friends, and the occasional cat, she’s doing just that. You can reach her at [email protected] She’d love to hear from you.

Sounds like an intriguing--and maybe scary--situation for Maggie! Congratulations and best of luck on the new book, Liz.
