A year after graduating
from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent
most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother -
studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion
thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she
spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life,
she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically
doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two
part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make
decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She
leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt
Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in
time.
When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's
unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even
know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy,
Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to
just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she
belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you
don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant
to be.
Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

June 27th is the 20th anniversary of my dad’s death from
leukemia. For a long time I’ve wanted to honour him in some way, and I thought
having the relaunch of Blue Sky Days, a book that was partly inspired by him,
would be the perfect tribute. My dad was a wonderful man—smart, funny, kind,
and loyal. He was an amazing father, husband, brother, and friend. Even before
he died, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and he would listen to my crazy made-up
stories with the patience of a saint.
From the 27th-30th of June, half the proceeds from all sales of Blue
Sky Days will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. If you already own a
copy, maybe you’d consider buying the book for a friend or family member? Or buying
another copy from a different retailer (like Smashwords, which offers the book
in every format)?
I greatly appreciate the support of the online
reading/writing community for helping me honour my dad.

Marie has always been a daydreamer; since early childhood
she's had a passion for words and a desire to create imaginary worlds, so it
only seemed natural for her to become a writer. She resides in Ontario, Canada,
and most days you can find her writing, reading, blogging about writing and
reading, listening to U2, watching copious amounts of TV on DVD, or having
grand adventures with her nephews and niece. She's a hopeless romantic, an
unapologetic eavesdropper (occupational hazard), an equally unapologetic
squeeing fangirl, and a lover of swoonworthy book and TV characters. For more
on Marie and her books please visit http://sweetmarie-83.blogspot.ca. She also loves to chat
with fellow book lovers, so feel free to tweet her @SweetMarie83 any time.
