My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Joanna Monahan, author of the book Welcome to Blooms. Joanna Monahan lives in North Carolina with her husband, children, and two distracting cats.
Before she began writing, Joanna worked a variety of jobs, including marketing, professional organizing, and setting up book fairs. She enjoys theater, baseball, and bookmarking recipes she will never make. A child of the 80s, she regrets that she no longer receives pizza coupons in exchange for reading.
You can find her at joannamonahan.com talking about books, writing, and all things GenX or on Instagram where she regularly torments her characters by participating in fiction writing challenges. Joanna is a proud member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, the North Carolina Writers’ Network and the Author’s Guild.
In my book review, I stated Welcome to Blooms is a humorous women’s fiction by Joanna Monahan. You will be delighted to meet Daisy Greene, a woman who is trying hard to outrun an overbearing mother, a hardworking father, a go-along-with-the-flow brother (named Bud), and a family business that makes her sneeze. That’s right, Daisy’s family owns a flower shop, and not only is she allergic to the flowers, she’s pretty certain she’s allergic to her family.
She has her life mapped out in a city far away from home and rarely visits. She even screens her calls to keep from talking to her mother or brother unless absolutely necessary. Until the day her father goes into the hospital – and she finds herself smack dab in the middle of the family drama once again.
This is a funny novel – part romantic comedy, part cozy, part midlife coming of age. You will laugh and cry. You will shout at Daisy to get her head on straight. You will cheer her on as she finally figures out what is important. And, if you are like me, you might even feel a few allergies coming on!
This is a must read – so run out and grab your copy today!
