This gorgeous convertible is the vintage car 18-year-old Ben Swift drives in my YA novel, Calmer Girls. It belongs to his dad but he gets to borrow it often.
Interesting trivia: Out of 69,176 T-Birds built in 1966, 5049 were convertibles. This generation of the Thunderbird played a starring role in the TV series Highlander and was also in the 1991 movie Thelma and Louise.
By the way…good news! Calmer Girls is now available in paperback, as well as e-book, on Amazon.
Have a great week, everyone! ❤
Exciting news, it must feel good to hold the book in your hands Jennifer. You should hold onto that moment of accomplishment you have worked hard and have something wonderful to show for it now. It can remind you how far you have come when you add the second book.

It does feel pretty special, Kath. I said to Paul the other day how five years ago it was only a mental plan, and now I can hold it in my hands because I was determined to try my best to bring it to fruition. Now the sequel is nearly ready to send to my editor. 🙂 Thanks for your support. xoxo

That was my favorite car in high school (66-69) and for long afterwards. Now, not so much. Way too expensive!

I can certainly see why! A beautiful, classy automobile. They sure don’t make them like they used to, Jacqui. 🙂

Well, just two times so far. 🙂 But I walked into my library the other day and saw my last book among their new releases. That was a nice treat. Of course, like a dork, I took a picture.

Oh, thank you. So nice to hear. Isn’t it funny how ebooks allow us to be so precise with our reading progress? I’m currently 16% into the book I’m reading.
