Breaking news: Publishers Weekly endorses Write Volume’s author Sheila M. Cronin's novel THE GIFT COUNSELOR (ISBN 978-0-9960460-0-8) in the category of Stories of Goodwill for Adults

About the book: A sudden job loss at the start of the Christmas season jangles Jonquil’s spirits. But after she takes a seasonal job, new opportunities and new love follow. The Gift Counselor combines holiday cheer, romance, and family drama.

 

Author statement: “One Christmas season while in a department store, I witnessed a salesclerk talking to an agitated young man at the perfume counter. He stated he needed a gift to ‘fix a problem’ with his girl. They’d had a misunderstanding and he wanted to patch things up. The clerk didn’t hesitate. She told him to forget about perfume and go straight to the jewelry department. There he could buy something so beautiful, it would make her cry, and then she would be his girl again. Patently relieved, the man set off immediately as instructed and I realized I had just been given a Christmas story. By the time I got home that day, I knew the story was about the clerk, not the shopper.”
