Almost Autumn

A collection of short stories that will have you getting cozy in your favorite chair.

From a mystery in a late-night diner to the unexpected endings found in everyday life, readers will enjoy the page-turning stories in Jim Hale's second book, Almost Autumn. Drawn from the drama of real life, many of these new stories explore the complexities of relationships, the trials of living and loving, and the consequences of choices. Death Before Daybreak is a classic whodunnit mystery that will have readers guessing to the very end.

Readers of Hale's first book, In the Shade of the Lemon Tree, shared that they wanted to read more of the romantic story of Daniel and Maureen that unfolded in a New England harbor town. In this new book, Hale includes the original short story The Letter and a sequel, Till Death Do Us Part. It turns out there is more to the story.

Reviews on Amazon described the stories in Hale's first book as "Beautifully written and brilliantly woven," and shared "The reader is instantly drawn into each tale with engaging characters and plots."
