What if you could experience the lifestyle and culture of Fredericksburg and the Hill Country of Texas, but within a fun, fictional novel?
Author Heather Renée May has done just that in her Texas Wine Trail Series, and book #3 is coming out October 1st: a romantic mystery on the wine trail.

“It’s almost like having a guidebook sprinkled throughout a fun novel.” – Andrew Klein
Since 2021, May has been publishing these books that are part-fiction, part-travel guide: Cactus Christmas (2021), Cactus Wedding (2022). Each book lists the locations, wineries, restaurants, and businesses in the back for readers to visit themselves. She is a proud supporter of the wineries, growers, and the grit it takes to make Texas wine.

- Texas Heritage Vineyards
- Bingham Family Vineyards
