My good friend Kathy Cano-Murillo's new novel MISS SCARLET'S SCHOOL OF Patternelss Sewing hits bookshelves this week! I'm so excited to be part of her blog tour to celebrate the launch of her fabulous novel. She has been such an inspiration with her never-ending enthusiasm and beautiful creative spirit. Check out the book trailer...
{a little about the novel}
Sometimes to find your life's true path, you have to stray outside the lines . . .
Scarlet Santana is never happier than when creating fabulous fashions for women of all shapes and sizes. Now, after years of hard work, she finally has the chance to live her dream and study under the hottest designer in New York. To raise money for her move, Scarlet opens an after-hours sewing school in a local record shop, teaching a type-A working mom whose rigid parenting style is causing her family to unravel and an enigmatic seamstress with a mysterious past.
But as stitches give way to secrets and classmates become friends, the women realize an important truth: There is no single pattern for a good life. Happiness is always a custom fit.
