Saying goodbye is never easy.
During their long friendship, Cornelia Parish had been the bane of Irwin Abernathy’s existence. Forever minding his business and trying to run his life. 
But even in death, Cornelia seems determined to make sure her best friend – former librarian, current bookshop owner, and interminable grumpy curmudgeon – doesn’t spend the rest of his insufferable days alone.
Irwin is heartbroken. He loved Cornelia, and her death has left him shattered. But nothing – nothing – could have ever prepared him for the estate attorney’s phone call on the day of her passing.
A road trip?
To deliver letters to four strangers?
Across the entire country!
What’s Cornelia up to now?
Despite the heartache, Irwin and the rest of Cornelia’s friends at the Abernathy & Crane Bookshop must pull it together –– if they expect to fulfill this last, unforeseen dying wish.
UNEXPECTED FRIENDS is a touching story that speaks to the power of friendship, the agony of loss, and the potential for healing when one, overcome with grief, bravely face their fears to embrace and welcome into their life true love again.

You’ll want an “elevator pitch” and a way to show that you know how to use words, both in your writing and in your speaking. And that’s not easy. Studies show that “public speaking” is a fear many people have.
