Earlier today, local author Christopher M. Wathen announced the publication of his newest book, Finding Telly: A Playful Romance. The work presents readers with an engaging and passionate exploration of love, self-discovery, and life’s unexpected adventures.
Finding Telly follows the story of Teleatha, affectionately known as Telly, a young single mother navigating the complexities of raising four children while yearning for a love story uniquely her own. Her life takes an exciting turn when she encounters Christopher, a charming, sophisticated man who reawakens her passion and zest for life.
With humor, sincerity, and an honest look at the challenges and joys of romance and parenting, Wathen crafts a fictional narrative that he believes will resonate with readers. Set against backdrops ranging from playful dates to intimate evenings in secluded places, Finding Telly is a testament to the exhilarating yet tender journey of finding love when it is least expected.
Wathen’s storytelling blends romance and realism, addressing relatable themes such as societal expectations, personal growth, and the courage to embrace life’s unpredictable moments. The novel reminds readers that love, in all its forms, is a cherished guest whose visit should always be appreciated, however fleeting or enduring, but never a possession itself. He said he enjoyed writing his namesake in as one of the main characters, along with his observations about human relationships, but that’s where it all turns fictional.
Along with his other publications, Finding Telly: A Playful Romance is now available for purchase online on Amazon.com here.
Wathen grew up in Linton, Indiana. With degrees in biology and finance from Marian University, Wathen has begun diversifying his writing, now ranging from a children’s bedtime story to a couple of non-fiction books and now his second romance.
