He says What Love Feels Like is a story that comes from a heart that has grown several sizes during his golden years, and he believes this is not the end of the story, but only the beginning.
C. K. TYLER has always been a lover of the written word, and What Love Feels Like is her first novel. She enjoyed a meaningful career as an educator and school counselor and views child advocacy as her purpose and calling. In partnership with a former student and now colleague, she is developing a children’s book series about dealing with anxiety and fear.
A mother of three adult children and a bevy of joyful grandchildren, she passionately believes that kindness and communication are the keys to unlocking the hearts of others. C.K. was surprised to discover love in her mid-sixties and believes the message shared within her true story is meant to be shared. She hopes to inspire people of all ages to let go of fears and old beliefs and embrace the possibility of love with courage and an open heart. The love story of Dawn and Lucas is one of simple complexity, and she is honored to share What Love Feels Like with her readers.
