Love can only truly blossom when you trust your heart.
CARDS FROM KHLOE'S FLOWER SHOP
Isabella Louise Anderson
Released Jan 17th, 2017
As the
owner of a successful florist shop, Khloe Harper trusts her instincts. She has
a strong bond with her family and friends, but after being betrayed by her last
love, she's kept herself at arms’ length from romance. When dashing
entertainment attorney Derek Thomas walks into her store, Khloe’s interest is
piqued. What at first seems like a business relationship quickly turns into romance,
and Derek slowly plucks away the petals she’s been hiding behind. Just as Khloe
lets down her guard, she discovers that Derek may not be worthy of her love
after all.
Frumpy
Connie Albright has a faux fascination with an imaginary man named Walt, thinking
that by sending herself flowers from him she’ll feel less out-of-place with the
“mean girls” she works with. When she comes face to face with her possible
prince charming and thinking she might have a happy ending, when a truth is
revealed, she wonders if she’ll ever have a Cinderella story.
A recently
widowed senior, Gabby Lewis, isn't ready to give up on love—which means
releasing herself from survivor's guilt and taking a chance on finding
happiness and companionship again. After signing up for an online dating site
for senior citizens, much to her surprise, she’s matched with Harry, an
energetic and loving man, who quickly eases himself into her heart. Will Gabby
take the leap of falling in love again, knowing it’s possible to have two loves
of her life?
As each
woman’s story develops through flowers and cards sent from Khloe's shop during
the fall months, they begin to learn that love can only truly blossom when you
trust your heart.

Interview
with Isabella Louise Anderson
Describe yourself
in five words or less:
Stubborn,
messy, creative, passionate, and strong.
If you had a theme
song, what would it be?
Great
question! I’d have to say I have several, but if I had to pick just one, it
would be “You Look So Good In Love” by George Strait.
What do you like to
do when you aren't writing?
Spend
time with family and friends, read, watch baseball (Go Rangers), and jot down
notes for my current WIP
What types of
scenes are your most favorite to write?
The
emotional ones! I love when I get so into a scene, and I start to cry. There’s
something about it that makes it seem so real…and with “Cards From Khloe’s Flower
Shop,” I cried most with Gabby’s character.
What 2 things
should readers know about you?
1)
I’m very shy, 2) I’m OCD and if my handwriting doesn’t look pretty, I have to
erase it and redo it (I know, it’s crazy and a waste of time, but it’s the only
way I can outline—something I can’t do on a computer—it has to be pencil and
paper).
Is anything in your
book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
All
of the stories I’ve written are a spin from my real life. For example, in “The
Right Design,” Palm Beach was the main setting because my family has a family
home there (though, I’m not a beach person like the main character). As for
“Cards From Khloe’s Flower Shop,” I’ve always loved receiving and sending
flowers. I’ve also wanted own a flower shop, so this book specifically is based
on what my life would like if I did.
Can you tell us
about your upcoming book?
I’m
currently writing a country contemporary romance, and I love it. This book is
the most real book I’ve written since it’s based on a combination of reality
and fiction.
Thank you for hosting!
