Chick Lit All Grown Up – Love Under the Bubble Wrap by Donna
Shepherd
Donna
Shepherd, a well-known children's book author and writing workshop leader, has
written Love Under the Bubble Wrap, a
novelette story not for her usual elementary-age readers. Her newest passion is
writing hen-lit. Her novelette begins with the arrival of a mysterious gift
(hence, the bubble wrap), and comes complete with humor, romance, and even a
little mystery to solve.
What
is hen-lit? It's chick-lit all grown up. According to the popular blog
"Chick Lit Books, "hen-lit books" feature women who are a little
(and sometimes a lot) older than the average chick lit heroine. The age range
is anywhere from late 30’s to mid 60’s. Generally, you will find the main
characters dealing with normal situations, such as jobs, love the second time
around, family situations, and more."
The
female leading lady in Love Under the
Bubble Wrap isn't your typical twenty-something drop-dead gorgeous reedy
willow. No, this is a story about a marriage in trouble and real life issues to
which many readers will relate. Ms. Shepherd's romantic escape resonates with
comedy, love, and enough mystery to keep the pages turning.
About the author: Ms. Shepherd has
hundreds of articles and devotionals to her credit. Her writings appear in Daily Grace for Women and The Best Grandma in the World. Her children's
books No More Gunk!, OUCH! Sunburn, Poodle and
Doodle, and Sully's Topsy Tale
featuring short, playful rhymes and humorous illustrations. Donna is the
founder of Greater Harvest Workshops and Middletown Area Christian Writers.
She's also in demand as a Bible teacher, conference speaker, and singer. Donna
lives in the Cincinnati area. Visit Ms. Shepherd's Facebook page for helpful

Under the Bubble Wrap a Novelette is the perfect length to read on your
lunch break - or anytime, and available exclusively on Amazon.

Thanks for this little inservice on "hen-lit"...a new term for me and one I think I will like a lot! Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sharon,
DeleteThanks! It was fun to write and I hope that shines through. I'm more of a hen than a chick! :)

DeleteAnother Sharon! Hi, Sharon M!
DeleteI've written nonfiction and inspirational pieces for grownups for a while, but not that much fiction. I've become good friends with Linore Burkard who writes romance. She has become my mentor in this genre. I'm working on another novelette now.
I also have a children's book called "Ava's Secret Tea Party" that will be released soon followed by "Emma Ant" either late this year or early next. Of course, I'll never quit writing for children!
Hi, Donna,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the media release. I appreciate your promotion very much.
