Author Delores Miles has announced the release of a new romantic fiction novel, 'Never My Love'.

Delores Miles nurtures a love for creativity. She brings her subjects sharply into focus, allowing readers to clearly see the face of every character and to hear the overtones and accents in their voices as their words seemingly jump from every page.

'Never My Love' brings to life a tender love story that began when two teens met in the early 1960's in a small Texas town. Their journey allows the reader to experience the magic of a love most never experience in their lifetime. As they grew up on different sides of the tracks, Jake and Annie's love faces unsurpassable odds. Years change their lives but never their hearts. Yet, they never let go of that once in a lifetime love they found during the summer of 1963.

"I wrote Never My Love to carry my readers on a journey back to the turbulent 60's and experience a love story that each of us dream about," Miles stated.  "The Vietnam War, Motown Music, Ford Mustangs and mini skirts fill the pages with vivid memories of that era."

Readers have lavished praise on the new book. One review said, "What a delightful step back in time! Felt as if I was looking through old photo albums from the 60s ... with the radio on. Babyboomers, get ready to relate, but have a Kleenex ready . . ." Another stated, "Being a teenager in the late 60's made the book even more interesting to me. I couldn't put it down."

In FourEver Friends, Award Winning Author Erica Miner Describes Growing Up In The 1960s In Detroit MI

Miner’s new release offers an in depth, first person glimpse at an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity

Though many people today think of the Sixties as a bygone era,Boomers hold these years dear within their hearts and minds. Baby Boomers now make up a very large percentage of the US population. And, much like the generations before them, they have fascinating stories to tell. One of those stories has been released by award winning author Erica Miner. FourEver Friends, Erica Miner's latest novel tells the tale of four teenage girls set in 1960s Detroit.

"Originally," stated Ms. Miner, "I wrote the book as a love letter to my four ‘BFFs’ and to the school that gave us all an astonishing foundation that we were able to draw on for our musical lives. Now, with the impending retirement of Baby Boomers and the ongoing fascination with the 1960’s era, I realize just how timely the book will be."

In FourEver Friends, Ms. Miner takes us back to an era that Baby Boomers look to with nostalgia and young adults look to with curiosity. The 60s were a time of new hope and idealism that ultimately dissolved into volatility and violence. In a specialized inner city Detroit high school, four teenage girls have established the roots of lasting friendship. Their backgrounds are different, but their passion for classical music and angst over raging hormones link them irrevocably. The girls' school is a cultural melting pot of race and ethnicity in which students are judged by their intellect and talents, not the color of their skin or religious upbringing.

As the four friends negotiate the turbulent waters of adolescence and bond through their music performances throughout Detroit, forbidden loves and jealousies mar their closely-knit friendship. But they always remain loyal and true to each other. In the end, poised for the leap into their post-high school lives, they question their ability to maintain their closeness in future years, when increased possibilities of separation may threaten the sanctity of their group. Nonetheless, they swear lifelong loyalty as they set off on their new paths.

FourEver Friends is now available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and at Erica Miner’s website.
