But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
This isn't your typical romance book. Mary is trying to pick up the pieces after a broken marriage and move on, but she ends up making an "awful mess" of things... It is a story about making mistakes, struggles, survival, and allowing and trusting yourself to love again.
The Awful Mess: A Love Story
SANDRA HUTCHISON's career has shifted between teaching, writing, editing, marketing, and advertising, all of which she enjoys. She founded Sheer Hubris Press in 2013 so she could use all of the last four skills at the same time. Born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, Hutchison survived a transplant to Greenfield, Massachusetts in high school and has stayed in cooler climes ever since. She currently lives with her husband and son outside of Troy, New York, where she teaches writing at Hudson Valley Community College.
Hutchison's short play "Nude with Bearded Irises" will be performed in a festival of one act plays by the Circle Theater Players in Sand Lake, New York in October 2013.

Here's the set-up:
In this sunnier, sexier twist on The Scarlet Letter, young divorcee Mary
Bellamy leaves behind the Boston suburbs to telecommute from tiny
Lawson, New Hampshire. Instead of the peaceful anonymity she'd expected,
she's soon coping with attentions from Arthur, an unhappily-married
Episcopal priest who’d like to save her heathen soul, but is susceptible
to more earthly temptations. Then there's Winslow, the handsome cop
(and excellent kisser) who confuses her by being in favor of gay rights,
but opposed to sex before marriage.
Before long Mary is also coping with a crushing job loss, a pregnancy that wasn’t supposed to be possible, a scandalous secret she must keep even at the expense of all her hopes, and an angry ex-husband whose disintegration threatens all that she has left. In this witty, affectionate tale of small town life, Mary discovers that the connections we make can result in terrifying risks ... and unexpected blessings.
Note: This book includes some explicit sex and bad language. (A PG-13 Edition is also available and may be preferable for some readers.)

One Reviewer Notes:
"Whether you’re the kind of reader who reads on the run, devouring delicious novels and never looking back, or the kind of reader who savors beautiful language, ironic dialogue and subtle commentary on the human condition, you will fall in love with the heroine of this book by the end of page one. Wonderfully written and slyly plotted, “The Awful Mess” follows the emotional and spiritual journey of Mary Bellamy from loneliness and rejection to love and redemption with surprising twists and turns. A word of warning: any female reader who prides herself on her self-honesty will find herself duly out-performed by our irresistible heroine (and may even envy Mary’s awful mess!).
