Josie Lockner scores big when she’s awarded a summer artist-in-residence in the small beach town of Goda, Massachusetts. The Wellingtons are the perfect host family, and Revere Estates the best backdrop. She’s more than ready to capture the beauty of nature with her pencils and brushes. Falling for the Wellingtons’ quiet neighbor, Olivia Monteclair, isn’t in the picture, but just because it won’t last forever doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun. Olivia’s peaceful days are interrupted when Josie, with her infectious grin and sunny disposition, crowds her space.

When Olivia Shaw’s mother dies, the sophisticated food editor is astonished to learn she’s inherited a centuries-old English estate—and a title to go with it. Raw with grief and reeling from the knowledge that her reserved mother hid something so momentous, Olivia leaves San Francisco and crosses the pond to unravel the mystery of a lifetime. One glance at the breathtaking Rosemere Priory and Olivia understands why the manor, magnificent even in disrepair, was the subject of her mother’s exquisite paintings. What she doesn’t understand is why her mother never mentioned it.

Anita Topaz, Queen of the Bodice Rippers, is deliberately a woman of mystery. But pressure is mounting for Anita to reveal herself to her clamoring public. It's scrutiny that writer Paris Ellison can't allow, especially since the glamorous "Anita" is a work of pure fiction. Lady Diana Beckinsale excels at disappearing into a good role. Especially if that role gets her close to certain objects she desires. When Diana proposes the perfect solution to Paris' predicament, Paris is less than enthusiastic. She can't let someone as unsettling and observant as Diana get too close.

Amy Ashton once dreamed of becoming an artist and creating beautiful objects. But now she simply collects them. Aquamarine bottles, bright yellow crockery, deep Tuscan red pots (and the odd slow cooker) take up every available inch of space in her house. Having suffered a terrible tragedy—one she staunchly refuses to let herself think about, thank you very much—she’s decided that it’s easier to love things instead of people.

Great Short side-story
If you could sum up When Hummers Dream in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful, insightful narrative.
What other book might you compare When Hummers Dream to and why?
I have read Mara's other short stories that accompany all her book series. These are clever adjunct stories which add richness and additional charactor details to her main story series. Love it!
What about Mara Purl’s performance did you like?
Mara is the exception, as many authors who read their books are good writers, but not good narrators, Mara's training and expertice in acting and theater really adds to the vocal depth of her narration and clearly shows the broad range of her talent and skill with a magnificent voice with just the right inflection for her clever charactors.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The section that described how the person's experience merged with the nature experience. How the hummers world collides with the human one, is like a pause of enlightenment for both. The resolution creates the 'art' in the encounter.
Any additional comments?
Mara Purl's books may appear at first glance, as simple, delightful stories at the first read. But the underlying depth and insightful design of her charactors resonates with the reader over time, and they find themselves looking for these revealed charactoristics during their normal routine. Very enlighten writing.
