Publication Date: September 26, 2021
The art director of Kids Press, Amy Shepherd has been assigned to reinvent the story of Goldilocks, and she finds her own life reflecting a similar tale. Will she fall for a man who’s a little too old (but exciting), a man who’s a little too young (but awfully exciting looking), or a man who’s just right, at least as far as her friends are concerned? Or will she bring Goldilocks’ story—and her own—up to date with a little help from high-technology and the Goldilocks Planet theory? Amy will have to decide how her own tale will end, all the while driving her beloved powder blue convertible through the streets of Santa Monica, where she has become known as the Girl in the ’67 Beetle, the only thing in her life that, so far at least, feels just right.
Linda Lenhoff will be awarding one printed copy book or a $25 Amazon or Barnes & Noble giveaway to a randomly drawn winner via Rafflecopter during the tour.

Thanks for hosting!
You are welcome!
Love the cover – the cute girl and that iconic car!
Sounds like a good book.
My mother had a ’60-something Beetle back in the 60’s. I was just a kid. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi All,
Thanks so much for posting about my latest novel, The Girl in the ’68 Beetle! I just have a thing for old cars I guess. I wish I still had my family’s classics, which included my dad’s 1958 T-Bird and my ’68 Camaro. Anyone else grow up with a super cool car? BTW, this book is meant to be pure fun. Enjoy!
You’re most welcome, Linda!
My mother had a ’66 or ’67 red Mustang. She also had a beautiful blue 70s Mustang, which I got to drive to school until she traded it in for a 70s Camaro. Then I had to drive the 70s Pinto station wagon with that stupid wood paneling on the side. I went from cool to nerd real fast.
Was it a convertible Mustang? I still want one. My friend Jane’s mom drove a little light blue hardtop mustang though that was so adorable. I loved it!
Mom had three little kids under six, so I doubt the red Mustang was a convertible, but I could be wrong. The blue Mustang that I drove wasn’t a convertible. I learned to drive a stick-shift on that car.
My dad owned a ’60-something Rambler. It was so NOT cool to be seen riding in one in the ’60s, though, lol. I don’t think it would be cool even today. It was almost as bad as the Dart Swinger. GMC Pacer anyone? How about the AMC Gremlin, Levi’s edition.
Rolling back the years…
Oh the Rambler. It made a noise that sounded like rambling to me. My babysitter drove a falcon. It was pristine!
LOL! My mom had a Rambler either before or after the Mustang. I’m pretty sure it was before she got cool and got the Mustang. My parents were making plenty of money by this time and I can’t see my mom in a Rambler any longer than necessary.
The Gremlin was such a horrible car! Luckily, I never had one. Didn’t it have the blow-up issue due to where the gas tank was located?
I think the Pinto had the explosion problem. A friend had one!
Just looked it up. You are correct. And there I was driving a Pinto stationwagon. Luckily, I never got in a wreck!
Sounds like a fun read. Can’t wait to read the book.
This sounds like a great book.
