Memories in December
Calendar Girls Book 4
by Gina Ardito
Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: November 7, 2019
Siobhan Bendlow is struggling with her recovery from an eating disorder and the financial downturn of
her photography business. The last thing she needs is to become the sole caretaker of her wacky
grandmother. Especially since the man of her teenaged dreams, Jimmy Vais, has moved back to town,
newly single and available. So has his pesky younger brother, Justin. One Vais is fun, but juggling two is
a problem.
Althea Bendlow may be in her seventies now, but she still craves all the things she wanted in youth: joy,
comfort, laughter, and happiness for her loved ones. If gaining the latter means performing some
matchmaking magic for her only granddaughter, she’s up to the task. As long as her own past doesn’t
keep distracting her, in the form of Captain Lou Rugerman, a man who meant the world to her for one
night only.
Welcome back to Snug Harbor, where the memories of a lifetime can become the dreams of tomorrow...
**easily read as a standalone!!**
I kill houseplants. There. Now you know one of my greatest shames. I'm not boasting. I just figure that if
you're reading this, you're looking for more than how wonderful life is as a writer. You get enough of that
elsewhere. Ditto for political rants, how to lose thirty pounds in a week, and creating gorgeous crafts with
nothing more than twine and soup cans. My goal is to connect with you, dear reader, even if you're not a
writer, not a New Yorker, not a mother, not a female. We're human (unless one of us is a spambot), and
what we have in common is flaws. So here are a few more of mine:
I sing all the time. I sing songs most people don't know--jingles from television, crazy stuff I used to listen
to on Dr. Demento, Broadway and movie soundtracks, and I can even bum-bum-bum through
instrumental music. I sing in the car. In the shower. While I'm grocery shopping. And I headbop while I
sing. When I'm not singing, I talk to myself. Just ignore me and move on. You get used to it after a
while.
I don't eat my vegetables. Seriously. I only started eating salad about ten years ago, but I'd still rather
have a cookie.
Given the option, I would live in a mall where I would never have to worry about freezing temperatures or
too much sun. I'm extremely fair-skinned and could burn under a 60-watt light bulb.
I can't sleep without background noise so the television's on all night. If it's too dark and too quiet, all I
have are my thoughts. And even *I* don't want to be alone with my thoughts.
Don't ask me to Zumba, line dance, or march in the parade. I have absolutely no rhythm.
I color outside the lines. Not because I'm a rebel, but because I suck as an artist. My artistic ability is
limited to being able to draw Snoopy sleeping on his doghouse. And I don't even draw that well.
Regrets. I have more than a few.
My favorite activity is sleep, and I'm pretty good at it. I don't clock a lot of hours, but I can powernap like a
Persian cat and rejuvenate within ten minutes.
I consider shopping and dining out excellent therapy for anything wrong in my life.
My feet are always cold. Always. My husband of more than a quarter century claims it's because I'm an
alien sent to Earth to destroy him. (He might be right about that.)
Coming to my house for a visit? Unless you've given me plenty of advance notice, be prepared. My floor
will not be vacuumed, there will be dishes in my sink, and I only make my bed when I change the sheets
once a week (I'm climbing back into it ASAP. Why make it?) Housecleaning is not high on my priority list.
Okay, to be totally honest, it's not on the list at all.
I can resist anything...except ice cream.
Since this is our first date, I figure I've revealed enough secrets for now. But if you've read this bio and
think I might be the author for you, pick up one of my books or stalk my website: www.ginaardito.com.
