Hello my Dearest Readers!

I hope you are all well where you go about your day-to-day.

We’re 5 weeks in with my novelette Frances & Gilbert. It’s the 1st story in my Cape of Good Hope series.

Here’s a summary of the story:

Gilbert Parsons’ life of privilege feels artificial, frivolous and empty. Frances Snowley shows him just how much when they meet for the first time. Frances’ life is turned upside down when both her parents die in a short period of time. She’s confronted by the bureaucracy of society when she’s required to take a husband. In each other they will have exactly what they both want and need.  But conspiracy, social demands and time seem to have a different plan. Will they choose marriage-of-convenience or marriage-of-love?

Frances & Gilbert (Cape of Good Hope Series) by Anne C West

In the introduction post a few weeks ago I mentioned it’s a clean romance. In a Facebook group for clean romance authors, one of the authors set out the guidelines for this genre.

This week’s scene from Frances & Gilbert could be construed as not clean and that worried me. No, the scene is not racy or breathy, it’s just an emotional and vulnerable scene.

So sad that we could possibly split hairs over something as trivial as perspectives.

Anyways, enough of that.

Enjoy this week’s post in my Blog A Story series.

Until next time!
