Gifts of Red Pottery Anne Schroeder

Collected short stories of the heart, written by an award winning author of historical romance and contemporary humor. Character driven stories of the heart that deal with love in its many guises. Many are set in the Central Coast of California. "Grub Line Rider," is a traditional story of a pioneer girl looking for love. "Torch Singer," is about a blues singer disappointed in love, who doesn't need any man to clutter her life. The title story, "Gifts of Red Pottery," follows a reclusive man living in a Paso Robles apartment through the life-changes that happen when a lively young Hispanic girl moves in across the street. "James Dean and the Tree of Eden," is a surprise bonus. Romance of the heart is the best kind. Advance readers say "The reader will carry these stories in her heart long after the last line is read." Available in Kindle, and paperback through Amazon, Createspace and extended sales channels.
