Author Spotlight of the Week

🖋 Meet SARAH FORESTER DAVIS

Sarah is another local (to us here in NE Ohio) author, and she is so active in our reader community here!

She writes mature, new adult romance with that small town vibe that just feels like home.

In addition to writing, Sarah loves travel, coffee, and the beach! She's a loving wife and momma to 4 beautiful kids, 4 cats, and 1 crazy dog.

📚 Meet her featured book: MY NAME IS HAZEL

Killian Lewis has grown up in the spotlight. At nineteen-years-old, he has finally had enough of this showbiz life. Much to the disappointment of his cold-hearted team, he decides to leave his celebrity life in London for the summer. Instead, he's going to hide out in Ohio with his father and a blended family that he barely knows.

His plan is to stay invisible. His plan is to figure out his future. His plan is to decide if the life of an actor is still worth living. But then he meets Hazel.

While stuck in the JFK airport during a layover, Killian walks up to this free-spirited girl and is abruptly thrown into her eccentric world. Not only does he feel this instant connection to her, but as time passes he realizes he knows her. He just can't remember how.

Hazel has secrets. These secrets have not only changed her life, but they'll change Killian's, too. The question is, will Killian figure them out in time... and if he does, what will he do when these secrets finally become unveiled?

... if you loved Her Name is Hazel, make sure you read the follow-up book: His Name is August (as well as the rest of her books!)
