Why We’re Falling for Fanning Fireflies

There’s something undeniably magical about stories that refuse to fit neatly into one box.

A little romance.

A touch of mystery.

A dash of time travel.

A heroine trying to survive a world that doesn’t always make room for dreams.

Fanning Fireflies by L.S. Delorme is exactly that kind of book.

As we begin our month-long Love Books Tours Read-Along, we’re inviting readers to journey back to 1944 and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface of Harrisville. And trust us, this isn’t your typical historical romance.

Welcome to Harrisville…

Veronica doesn’t have the luxury of daydreaming.

She works because she has to.

Every penny she earns brings her a little closer to stability, to helping her family, and perhaps one day, owning the house they call home.

There isn’t time for fanciful distractions.

Not the fire that seems to whisper to her.

Not the ghosts who try to catch her attention.

Certainly not her boss’s son, who seems unable to stop watching her.

And definitely not Lazlo.

The handsome Black soldier she processed at the draft office.

The man she can’t seem to forget.

As Veronica’s carefully built walls begin to crumble, she discovers that the strange occurrences around her aren’t merely coincidence.

Because Harrisville has always carried secrets.

And some of them have been festering for generations.

After all…

It’s hard to ignore the truth when corpses are turning up in the tobacco at the cigarette factory where you work.
