Amber Stokes, has a new novelette coming out and is revealing her cover today! It sounds like a unique take on the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale and I’m looking forward to reading it. First, here’s what the book is about.
Sweet New Adult Contemporary Romance Novelette
There’s no rest for the fearful.
Ava always knew the bees would come. Just when she’s settled into a place of her own, freelance editing and savoring her independence, her rental house is invaded by a swarm of honey bees. And with their arrival, her lifelong fear morphs into a full-fledged panic that steals her sleep—and her peace of mind.
Keegan knows all about fear. When he meets Ava at the coffee shop where he works, he can’t help but come to her rescue. Together with his German shepherds, Sun and Moon, he sets out to break the “curse” that hovers over Tired Girl. But is it possible to conquer nightmares and live a dream while you’re awake?
This sweet novelette is a contemporary re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that sheds light on the worries that bind us and the love that leads to peace.

Create the space you need to recharge, and remember that you are a special blessing to those around you! Keep up the great work. 🙂
