The Strings of Sisterhood Series
This series follows the lives of five musical sisters and their friends. It is a coming-of-age series in which the characters enjoy making music together, traveling, and solving mysteries. The young adults discover the joys of love and family, both inherited–as with the five sisters–and found–like the brotherhood the male characters form with each other along the way.
This series aligns with the author’s goals to:
Inspire the next generation of musicians
Encourage music professionals
Educate others about the world of music
Intended Audience: Readers who enjoy clean romance and mystery, especially those interested in music and travel.
Although intended for a young adult audience, several older, familial characters play mentorship roles, which appeal to an older demographic of readers as well.
