Meddling in other people’s business is kind of her thing. Rosalind writes a popular advice column in a magazine, passed down by her recently deceased mother. When she butts heads with her editor over a letter response, she loses her job and inherited byline—the only things holding back the full weight of her grief.

To keep writing advice, Rosalind establishes a fake identity with a male pen name at the dubious suggestion of her friends, retreating to a small town on the water. She starts an advice column for a local newspaper using her new pseudonym.

The unexpected online success of her new advice column exacerbates her penchant for unsolicited meddling. This threatens to damage her relationships with family and friends.

It also complicates her budding romance with ruggedly handsome travel television star Andy Arden. He’s gorgeous, he’s outdoorsy, and he writes her (terrible) poetry. But he also thinks “Gavin,” the guy giving him relationship advice via text, and his new love interest are two different people…

Rosalind juggles it all because her advice is always right. Usually right. Would you settle for sometimes right? Can she outgrow her game-playing and confront her grief in time to untangle the mess she’s made of her personal and professional life?

A finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writer’s Association literary contest.

This is the second book in the “Shakespeare Project” series. The first book is titled How to Align the Stars by Amy Dressler.
