Shoes and Love: New Mystery Novel Is an Enthralling Read

"Staring at the phone, Brad wished he turned the ringer off, but that meant living in the memories and saying hello to Jen-Zen.
Getting dumped would have been easier. No one prepared him for the other. Whoever thought about those things in their late twenties?"



So begins the new novel by award-winning authorJulie Ann Shapiro. This is a modern Cinderella story filled with love, lost shoes, and whimsy. But this is not your typical love story, not by far. Meet Brad Lynberry, a successful photographer, who is haunted by the memory of Jen-Zen, a poet, and the connection he feels to her while photographing shoes. Brad finds himself first fascinated then obsessed with shoes - but only lost shoes! Is Brad haunted, driven by artistic inspiration, or is he going off the deep end? But this novel is not just about shoes, it is filled with mystery as well. For while lost shoes keep popping up in mysterious ways, time is running out. Brad must unravel the mysteries of the shoes and Jen-Zen’s poetic riddles or go mad trying.

Building on the popularity of such shows as Sex and The City, shoe fanatics now have another great book to read! In the novel, Jen-Zen & The One Shoe Diaries, Brad and his own shoe obsession are tied to his search for connection and love in, and beyond, the shoes themselves. His very rendering the shoes as art in his photographic collection, dubbed Shoe-sophy is something artists, shoe-lovers, and readers can relate to, but it is the mystery that will keep you reading. Find out what happens to Brad and Jen-Zen in this enthralling, modern-day mystery of love, romance, and shoes.
