Dreams for Stones (Dreams Saga Book 1) by
Poignant and haunting, a love story of loss and second
chances. A man who has given up on love and a woman who has learned to let go of love too easily–it will take all the magic of serendipity, old diaries and a children’s story to heal these two.
Caught in grief and guilt over his wife’s death, English professor Alan Francini is determined never to feel that much pain again. He avoids new relationships and keeps even his best friend at arm’s length. His major solace
is his family’s ranch south of Denver.
Children’s book editor Kathy Jamison has learned through a lifetime of separations and a broken engagement that letting go is easier than hanging on.
Then she meets Alan, and for once, begins to believe a lasting relationship is possible.
But Alan panics and pushes her away–into the arms of his best friend. Now the emotions of three people are at stake as they struggle to find a way to transform their broken dreams into the foundation for a more hopeful future.
About the author, Ann Warner:
A former Air Force brat turned clinical chemist, toxicologist, and university professor, Ann’s life took another turn in 2001, when she began writing fiction. After completing a perfectly dreadful novel (she didn’t know it was at the time) she talked her way into a graduate writing seminar and followed that up with several years of study as she continued to write. Along the way she made friends with other writers who have supported, critiqued, and eventually praised her novels. Her debut novel, Dreams for Stones, was a finalist for the Indie Next Generation Book Award.
Ann’s novels take advantage of the many unusual settings she’s traveled to or lived in including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, San Francisco, Wrangell Alaska, Colorado, Boston, and Puerto Rico. As well, her experiences as a toxicologist have added fillips of intrigue to many of her stories.
In Ann’s novels, the consequence of choosing to love or not to love is an underlying theme, as characters face crises and complications that force them to dig deep within themselves to discover their own resilience.

I created Destination Love Stories™ because I believe that encouraging women to create a bucket list and follow their dreams wherever they may lead can literally transform their world. Why? Because that’s what happened to me. Creating a bucket list and following my dreams took me out of my comfort zone and opened my heart, mind, and soul to create new possibilities for myself. And with new possibilities came romance, and with romance, came, love. The least I can do is pay the favor forward.
