My beta readers, Danielle, Michal and Veronica. Thank you for reading this story in its first draft stages. Thank you for being there at its weakest and for believing in the story. You’ve all been amazing.
There is someone special I need to thank, Erin Spencer from Southern Belle Book Blog. Erin, thank you for listening to Jenny talk up Sometimes Moments. Thank you for giving it a chance and your time. When I first got into contact with you, you blew me away with you enthusiasm and want to read a book by someone you have never come across. I wanted to be your friend the moment you said that you’d beg to read Sometimes Moments. Your voice message still makes me smile. Has anyone ever told you your accent is the most sweetest thing? I loved it. Thank you for loving Sometimes Moments and for believing in it.
As always, thank you to my family and close friends. For having to put up with me in this whole writing-shin-dig affair. I love you all.
And my readers, thank you for believing me. For still believing me. Third book I’ve published and you’re still here. If this is the first book you’ve ever read by me, thank you for giving me the chance to let my story take up your time. Thank you for the chance to let me enter your lives. Thank you for loving my books enough to let me continue to write more. Your love gives me the confidence and hope I need to continue. I strive to be my best to give you all the best. I’m where I am because of you.
Also, to the many blogs that have supported me. Thank you for writing a status or a post about me and my books. You have no idea how important you are to me. To all the authors I’ve met along the way, friends until the very end!
To Penny Rudge, lonely island FOREVER! Thank you for being my friend in all of this. Our random chats and loves. I just needed to thank you for all your love and support.
You are all never my sometimes—always my forever.
Thank you <3
Last year I asked the public to share their own sometimes moments. The responses have been absolutely beautiful. It is a privilege to be able to read the moments in my readers and fellow authors’ lives.
These are your sometimes moments…
When you held my hand for the first time. You hesitated at first and then you exhaled. It was like a ‘screw it! Now or never’ kind of exhale. And then, you grazed my pinkie and then went for it. You held my hand. And then you started the story of us. And then somewhere along the lines it was no longer us. It was you. And then it was me. We were no longer a we. But I still love that moment and will always treasure that exhale you made.

I asked him when he knew I was the one, and he replied with, “The moment I laid eyes on you.” I was speechless, so he came closer to my ear and whispered, “And I fell in love with you the moment you said your first words to me.

My husband and I have been together for ten years and married for almost eight. We have our ups and downs, but mostly downs as of late. Exactly two days before our ten year anniversary, I was rushed to the hospital. After surgery and suffering from complications, we were told that I might have a bloodclot in my lung. We don’t pray as much anymore but he and I prayed before the test. The doctor came in after the test and my husband gripped my hand. The doctor then said no bloodclot. I smiled and turned toward my husband as I saw a tear roll down his cheek. That was the moment that I knew that we were stronger than illness and petty arguments, and we would have a lot more sometimes moments in our future.

I roll the car window down and inhaled deeply.
“What are you doing?”
“I love the smell of wet pavement after it’s been hot.”
“… me, too.”

One beautiful day I was cleaning my boyfriend’s and my room. I was listening to music not really paying attention. For some reasons I happened to look out the window and see my boyfriend in the yard with his son. At that moment ‘So small’ by Carrie Underwood happened to start playing on the radio. I sat down and cried because then I realized I loved those two men in my life, no matter what problems we faced. Unfortunately, we ended up not making it together but that moment is forever with me and until the day I die, I will most likely love them.

The truth is, Len Webster is a romance-loving Melbournian with dreams of finding her version of ‘The One.’ She calls Australia home, but secretly wishes a man with a beautiful accent would whisk her away. She’s been called a hopeless romantic and a firm believer of happily ever afters, which she doesn’t object to.
Having just completed her Bachelor in Business and Commerce, Len can be found daydreaming of her next Europe adventure or swooning over Mr Darcy. Her best friends are a hot cup of tea, red velvet cupcakes, a warm jumper and her MacBook, ready to write to her heart’s content.
