Hello, dear readers!

I’m excited to share with you my novelette Love Blooms in the Garden, a heartfelt story about healing, hope, and unexpected connections set in the heart of Chicago. This novelette was released on August 15, 2024, and is available exclusively on all eBook platforms and Audible.

Lily Strauss arrives in Chicago searching for a fresh start and discovers an abandoned community garden tucked away in a quiet alley. With determination and heart, she sets out to restore the garden’s beauty, earning the support of the community welfare office. Along the way, she meets Ryan Combs, a talented landscape architect with deep ties to the garden’s past. As they work side by side to bring the garden back to life, their shared passion sparks a connection that helps them both face personal challenges and open their hearts to new beginnings.

Love Blooms in the Garden is a celebration of renewal, community, and the gentle power of love to transform even the most unexpected places.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through the city and the heart. I hope Lily and Ryan’s story inspires you to find beauty and hope wherever you are.

With gratitude,

 Luis Ammerman
