Join Washington author Steven Crandell for a romance like no other in his book "A is for Amy"!
About this Event

Amy Dellaconta Franklin is a sassy, charming, yet lonely young widow. She is also an independent mother of 3 kids under 5. Her life is exhausting and isolating, but one day she has a surprise visitor and unexpectedly finds herself falling "in-like" and eventually in-love. Surprises overturn expectations at nearly every turn in this novella, which explores how dead-ends can turn into journeys of romantic discovery.

A is for Amy is a quick read that’s both funny and deep. It makes a perfect gift for parents, grandparents, or anyone who cares for little ones (including expectant parents!). Disguised as a children’s book, it unfolds as a romantic adventure for grownups that parents can read incognito while they care for their children. Although, anyone who enjoys a story about finding love again will appreciate A is for Amy!


Steven Crandell has been a writer ever since he almost flunked second grade for having very messy handwriting. He lives in Duvall, Washington. He has four children and two grandchildren, all of whom bring him joy. Besides Amy, he’s the author of . He also writes a newsletter on LinkedIn () and a series on Substack called . You can find him on Instagram @sscrandell
