Road to Somewhere

New! From Bloomsbury Spark, a sunny story of discovery and sisterhood.

A road trip. A singing competition. And super-hot cowboys.

What could be better?

For Charlie, a post-high school road trip isn't just a vacation, it's life changing. While her parents think she's helping a friend move, a chance at fame is the real reason to grab her best friends and drive to L.A. But when her super annoying, uber-responsible, younger sister, Lucy, has to tag along, it isn't quite the summer of fun she imagined.

Add in a detour to her grandparents' ranch in Texas, and between mucking the stalls, down-home cookin’, and drool-worthy ranch hands, this could just turn into the best, and most complicated, summer of their lives.

Kelley Lynn and Jenny Morris’ relationship as collaboration authors began with a silly short story about the struggles of two lovers, Lego Larry and Lego Lucy. The women had been critique partners for a while and helped found the group blog, Falling for Fiction. For the grand opening of the new blog, the FFF girls took on the A to Z challenge and each person was assigned a letter. Kelley and Jenny ended up with the letter L. They decided to each pick a character and write a section from that character’s POV. When the story was ready for the group to read, no one knew which author wrote which character. This gave Jenny an idea. If their writing flowed that well in a short story, could they pull it off in a book? Emails were sent, character bios were created. And Road to Somewhere was born.

Kelley and Jenny knew the talent each writer possessed before they set off to work together, but they never imagined the powerful story they could create when those talents were combined. Even though Jenny lives on the West Coast and Kelley lives in the Midwest this friendship and writing partnership knows no bounds.
