Newly widowed Jessica faces destitution along with her teenage daughters until Captain Parnell offers her a role of landlady at his boarding house while he is away with the navy. Jessica’s youngest daughter, Amelia, becomes a companion to the frivolous Mrs Webster and attracts the attention of two brothers, but as a penniless young woman is she more appealing as a mistress rather than a wife? Lydia, the eldest daughter, wishes she could have been born a boy so she could train as a surgeon and marry her best friend, Miss Thomas. Meanwhile, Jessica has established an increasingly affectionate correspondence with Captain Parnell but can she learn to love again after her husband’s betrayal? A tale of rebuilding life after loss and shaping your own destiny.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have always loved music, but unfortunately, lack any real musical talent. So it was my dream to find some way to be connected to the industry, even if I could not be on the stage. This book is my way of doing that. It is a love letter to all the artists that inspired me and got me through hard times by creating powerful songs that spoke to me in some way or another.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The characters in the book were inspired by real-life musicians, and many of them are named after a band or song from the 2000s emo era. Some merely look like them, and others have traits based on interviews I read about them or concerts I attended. I filled in the holes with the personalities of my college friends and some family members.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Krista Lockheart has a passion for humor and cozy mysteries. Her first book earned seven book awards, including a First Place from the BookFest in humorous. She loves making readers laugh with her zany characters, witty dialog, puns and wall-to-wall humor. Krista also has a passion for botany, horticulture and plants, and uses the setting of a magnificent greenhouse and gardens as the backdrop to a charming cozy mystery. She hopes the plant and food description will inspire readers to go to farmer's markets, nurseries and the produce department of their local stores and investigate new plants and foods to enjoy.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
This book is loosely based on her first book. Heather Moore, the main character in this book, was one of readers' favorites from her debut novel, and so Krista thought to give Heather her own book. A super sweet romance develops between her and fellow plant specialist, Lars Oslo. Lars came about because I wanted Heather to have a romance with a very special man who would understand her and bring her out of her shell. There is a really sweet younger couple, Holly and William, who are the stars of the first book. Here they support Heather in all ways and are integral to helping her get established in her new home. Her favorite thing in the world is her little sassy chihuahua, Ant. He is her confidant and best friend. I wanted Heather to have a dog that she could pour her love out too, as she is getting ready to climb out of her shell and pursue romantic love with Lars. Heather has the best of all worlds in her friendships with Holly and William, her companion Ant, and her boyfriend Lars.
