Writing On The Fine Line

Well, as Berly Charles could tell you, tiny houses aren’t necessarily low in quality. Tiny can be large. Tiny can be luxury. Tiny can be va-va-va-voom!

Berly is the female lead in my novella, “Big Love,” now out from Scrivenings Press. In the story, she builds tiny houses for residents in Indianapolis who need or want them, with a focus on providing them to homeless people.

Nathan Rafferty (Rafe), the male lead, is a “too-cool-for-tiny-houses” reporter for a Chicago-based architectural magazine assigned to tell Berly’s story for his magazine.

When they get together, under false pretenses, sparks definitely fly–along with the laughs!

Here’s one reviewer’s thoughts on the story.

I had fun reading Michael Ehret’s novella, Big Love! Great characters, lots of laughs, plus insight into tiny houses. Loved the romance in this book! — Jen Dodrill

But, anyway, back to the va-va-va-voom! tiny houses.

Writing for Realtor.com, Kiri Blakeley, shares five tiny houses that are B-I-G on luxury. Check them out — you may find them surprisingly appealing. But almost $500,000? You decide on that.
