They are quick reads with characters that we the readers can relate to." Kathy Andrico, Kathy's Review Corner From the Author Wish On The Moon is set in my home town of York, Pennsylvania. After my son was born, I worked in a jewelry store. I have always loved jewelry, the color of gems and semi-precious stones, the glitter of gold and silver. My hero owns a jewelry store but healso designs jewelry. It was such fun coming up with the pieces for his show. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
