How To Knit A Love Song

The first book in the Cypress Hollow Yarn series, in which a rancher's way of life is threatened by a woman trying to escape her past, will be out in March, 2010, from HarperCollins (Avon A).

When Abigail inherits a cottage from her beloved mentor, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter, it's the perfect chance for a new start, a safe haven. But Eliza's nephew Cade, who works the ranch her inheritance is on, isn't happy with the loss of the cottage he thought would be his, and he's even less pleased that she's going to make it into a knitting shop. While Cade struggles to accept these changes, Abigail fights a terror she thought she left behind, and both of them are fighting their attraction to each other. The knitter and the rancher are falling in love, but they'll need more than infatuation: From seeds of doubt and suspicion, can trust ever bloom?

Rachael Herron received her MFA in English and Creative Writing from Mills College. She lives in Oakland, CA with her family and has way more animals than she ever planned to, though no sheep or alpacas (yet). She learned to knit at the age of five, and generally only puts the needles down to eat, write, or sleep, and sometimes not even then.
