About The Lost Letter by Mimi Matthews

England, 1860. An impoverished Victorian beauty is unexpectedly reunited with the now beastly earl who once broke her heart. Will they finally find their happily-ever-after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?

A PROUD BEAUTY
When the tragic death of her gamester father leaves her destitute and alone, society beauty Sylvia Stafford finds work as a governess in a merchant’s household in Cheapside. Isolated from the fashionable acquaintance of her youth, she resigns herself to lonely spinsterhood…until a mysterious visitor convinces her to temporarily return to her former life–and her former love.

A SCARRED BEAST
Colonel Sebastian Conrad is no longer the dashing cavalry officer Sylvia once fell in love with. Badly scarred during the Sepoy Rebellion, he has withdrawn to his estate in rural Hertfordshire where he lives in near complete seclusion. Brooding and tormented, he cares nothing for the earldom he has inherited–and even less for the faithless beauty who rejected him three years before.

A SECOND CHANCE
A week together in the remote Victorian countryside is the last thing either of them ever wanted. But when fate intervenes to reunite them, will a beastly earl and an impoverished beauty finally find their happily-ever-after? Or are some fairy-tale endings simply not meant to be?

The Lost Letter is a sweet (i.e. clean) standalone Victorian romance of approximately 50,000 words.

About Ordinary Magic: Promises I Kept to My Mother Through Life, Illness, and a Very Long Walk

A terrifying diagnosis. An unbreakable bond. And one unforgettable journey.

Cameron Powell has always struggled with goodbyes. On the day his marriage ends, he finds out his mother’s cancer has returned-and this time there may be no escape. Faced with the prospect of more chemo and surgery, his German-born mother, Inge, vows to conquer a 500-mile trek across Spain, and Cameron pushes aside his fears to walk by her side.

Joined by a misfit band of adventurers – a politically incorrect Spaniard, a theatrical Frenchwoman, a teenager who’s never been far from home – Cameron and Inge write a fierce and funny travelogue about the rocky heights and hidden valleys of the Camino de Santiago.

But the hardest stretch comes three years later, when Inge’s health declines — and Cameron, ready or not, must accept the challenge to remain as present to his mother as he can. As their journey shrinks to the room around a hospice bed, Cameron begins to record, in their blog, his real-time impressions of life’s most difficult voyage. The result is one of literature’s “”epic love letters”” (Julia Scheeres, Jesus Land).

Propelled by the searing immediacy of his own fear and sadness, this deeply-felt memoir opens up new insight into what it means to be a man, and takes us – with wisdom, humor, and an overflowing tenderness – into one of the most challenging journeys true friends can ever take. If you like candid mother-son relationships, humorous tales from the trail, and in-the-moment insights on living a life of purpose, then you’ll love Cameron Powell’s luminous, inspirational true story about pilgrimage, presence, and letting go.

Ordinary Magic is the love story, the soulful laugh and cry, and the lifelong inspiration you need in your life right now.

Hi! I’m Sarah. I love to read (obviously). As a child, I read pathologically. My parents had to force me out into the sunshine. When I was ten, they bought a horse. I am not entirely convinced this was not for the sole purpose of getting my nose out of a book. The reading led (obviously) to writing. I wrote stories about history, and stories about animals, and stories about little girls living in treehouses (still wondering about that one), and then one day I read Ivanhoe. This led (slightly less obviously) to reading fantasy and science fiction. I fell face-first into the world of swords and spaceships, and I’ve never looked back. I love fast-paced action, genre mashups, and characters who find the real plot twist was the friends they made along the way. If you follow me on social media, you will probably see puns from my husband and pictures of my cats. If you see me in public, you will probably see me wearing plaid and sneakers and drinking coffee. If you sign up for my email list, you will probably see me shouting into your inbox about all the things I’m reading and writing.

I am a southern girl, born and raised in crawfish country. I love to write romance – and read science fiction and fantasy, horror, romance and erotic romance. I’m a bit of a poet, but mostly when I’m feeling emotional. My friends tend to come to me when they need poems. I’ve been all over the continental US. My fave state? Oregon, because it has it all – beaches, ocean, mountains, caves, valleys, desert. I’ve been to Canada. I’ve driven an 18 wheeler…I’m 5’1″, lol. I wanted to be a race car driver, but my first love is reading/telling stories. Why? Because between the covers of a book, you can go anywhere, be anything, and do whatever you like…all in the span of a few hours.

Abbey Faith is a twenty-one, almost twenty-two year old, graduate student and a daycare teacher. She lives in the Columbus, Ohio area and is still surprised that while during her undergraduate degree, she managed to publish a book. Her hobbies include petting fluffy dogs, telling three year olds to sit down, and hanging out with her family. She collects strange Victorian objects, including a xylophone, baby dolls, shoes, dresses, and so much more. She couldn’t have accomplished writing this book without the help that she received from her family and friends. She would like to thank her sarcastic editor for putting up with her; her publisher for choosing her book out of hundreds; her marketing director for supporting her; her cover artist for being patient with her odd requests; and finally, her readers, for doing the obvious.
