AVAILABLE NOW

Tutti-Frutti Blues
book one of The Carmel Charmers Series

Town therapist Maisie Daniels is having a bad day. A failed alarm clock makes her late for work, she's locked herself out of her house and worse, she's half way across town when she realizes she's wearing her bunny slippers. A double scoop of tutti-frutti ice cream is just the ticket to boost her mood.

When Sergeant Jake Hennessey spots a woman in bunny slippers muttering to herself in the park, he wonders if she's one of the local eccentrics. When she steps from the ice cream parlor with her double dip in hand, Jake decides not to cite her for eating ice cream on the street, a recent ban, but invites her to dinner instead.

When Jake arrives at the restaurant and sees Maisie in her bunny slippers, he knows instantly that he could love her.

Tutti-Frutti Blues is available in your format from Smashwords or for Kindle for just $1.99.

Dude Looks Like A Lady
book two of The Carmel Charmers Series

Pamela Howard can't believe what she let her friend Maisie talk her into—a charity costume contest where she's made to dress as King Louis XVI. Her partner, dressed as Queen Marie Antoinette, reminds her of a man she's spent five long years trying to forget.

Hank Delacroix is ready to throttle his friend Jake. Hank is a great clown around his 49er teammates, but six-inch heels and a poodle on his head are a bit much. He has to be the tallest drag queen in the state. When he meets his Louis partner, he can't keep memories of the only woman he ever loved from waking in his mind.

When Hank realizes Louis is his ex-fiancé, he has to find a way to make her stop running away from him so he can finally apologize.

Dude Looks Like A Lady is available in your format from Smashwords or for Kindle for just $1.99.

Tutti-Frutti Blues now on Kindle

My publisher, Highland Press, is working on putting up all my short stories onto Kindle. The latest is the first short story I published called Tutti-Frutti Blues.

Tutti-Frutti Blues was first published in an anthology called No Law Against Love, the procedes of which did and still do go to breast cancer awareness charities.

Tutti-Frutti Blues is also the first story in a duet of stories, both of which are set in my home town of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. The second book in the duet is called Dude Looks Like A Lady, which is coming soon to Kindle to watch this space, as the man says.

Here's what the readers have said about Tutti-Frutti Blues --

I picked up No Law Against Love becuase of a writer local to my home town of Carmel by-the-Sea, California. Kemberlee Shortland's story, "Tutti-Frutti Blues" and "Dude Looks Like a Lady", brought back memories of the small town I grew up in. Shortland's style of writing is both fun and creative; I look forward to reading more of this authors work in the future!

~ T.Zwagerman, reader

Tutti-Frutti is a special love story filled with romance between two people that is so unique in its own way. A little ice cream with no spoons could turn out delightfully wicked with that one special person. Ms. Shortland crafts an adorable little romance! It had a certain flare to it with the slippers and such a zany day, quite uplifting!

I love hearing from readers so drop me a note.

Thanks for reading!

The Power of Love now on Kindle

Need I say more?

My short story, The Power of Love, is now available on Kindle.

Holiday in the Heart was published in November 2006 from Higland Press and is still available through Amazon as a paperback or Kindle and Smashwords digitally. You can find more information on The Power of Love and Holiday in the Heart on my website.

Here's what the reviewers have said --

"Shortland writes a powerfully emotional story that moved me to tears with an intensity that took my breath away." ~ Marilyn Rondeau

"Kemberlee Shortland's heart-rending tale will leave the reader in tears. Never has a story been so aptly named as this one! The depth of emotion displayed between Ethan and Elaine is simply stunning. Kemberlee Shortland proves herself to be a true force in the romance genre with this gem!" ~ CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

It brought me to tears just reading these reviews!

I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I did writing it. I love to hear from readers to post a comment or drop me an email.
