My newest release!
Kelly Bennett has so many questions, and no good answers. Shouldn’t a woman who’s nearly fifty feel more in control of her life? At her weekly Dungeons & Dragons game, Kelly finds a way to get the answers she craves without the fear of making bad decisions: her trusty dice. But will she let random chance always call the shots, or will she learn to take initiative in her own life?
"Roll or Initiative" - publishing June 30th, 2025 - pre-orders coming soon!
BUZZ
"["Holding Out for a Zero"]'s message of warning about how unresolved traumas can manifest in devastating ways will appeal to a wide audience, and the author’s authentic voice will prompt chills, chuckles, and empathy."
Publishers Weekly
"Softly romantic in unexpected ways, this brilliantly paced offering ["Fifty Million Reasons"] from my favorite thinking woman's author had me riveted from beginning to end."
Donna P. of "Bookishly Attentive"
"[Heather Wardell] takes the emotion of Anita Shreve, the relationship development of Jodi Picoult, and the romance of Nicholas Sparks, and puts them all together to create books that are impossible to put down."
"I'd So Rather Be Reading"
"The same things I've liked in other of Wardell's stories- smart, strong heroines taking control of their own life- are present in Alexa ["Everybody's Got a Story"] and make for a highly entertaining read."
"The Book Fetish"
