I recently received a copy pf my latest book, Rex & Bianca, A Maritime Romance.
It was my very first story featuring Rex and Bianca, back when they were my first, and only, Fashion size couple. The story was photographed on a trip to Newfoundland in the summer of 2019.
Picture
​Rex is a military officer, who is about to leave on a new deployment....
Picture
Bianca decides to go with him...
Picture
They arrive in the new land...
Picture

Picture
They arrive at his new post in Louisbourg...
Picture
One day he notices her going out to hang up the laundry.
Picture
He follows her and asks her to marry him...
Picture
...and they are married a few days later...
Picture
...and move into their own home in the fort...

It's a beautiful 68 page book with 116 photos.

This is a lovely story. The photographs are stunning! I have been trying to pick a favorite picture but I love them all. The “hanging of the laundry” photos are very sweet. I think it is nice that they are doing chores together.

I love the outfits. As you know, your neighbors below (smile) are celebrating 1776 here in the US. The outfits from that time remind me of yours. I know they are not the same but they evoke in me the same historic feel.

Thanks for giving us this wonderful tale The characters are endearing, the seascape/landscape is vast and varied, and the love story is timeless.

They aren't doing chores together. if you check out the original story, he's saddling his horse when he notices her going out to hang up the laundry, and he decides it's the perfect moment to catch her alone, and propose. He picks some flowers and comes up behind the clothesline to surprise her.

Oops, I did miss that. I should have gone back to look at the whole story. I was just looking at the photos and it looked like he was helping with the laundry. Now, I see that he was proposing. That was definitely a romantic moment.

Thank you. It was the very first story featuring my Fashion sized dolls, before they all ended up in a Medieval world. One of the things that made it so special was that it was all taken out on location in some beautiful scenic and historic places.
