Local Authors Begin Work on Second Novel Set in New Glarus and Sonoma

Ashley Arn and Jessica Aasve, the New Glarus authors behind the holiday romance Love in Little Switzerland, are back at work on a second novel — one that stretches beyond the village while keeping New Glarus firmly at its heart.
