OXFORD – An aspiring Oxford novelist will be celebrating the release of her new book Thursday night at Oxford’s Six on the Square after a professional publishing company decided to endorse her latest romantic work.

Cathy Holden Robinson’s new book, “The House of Roses,” is already available in stores and online at Amazon.com

From 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday evening, Six on the Square will host a launch party at the Village of Oxford venue to celebrate and endorse the artist’s recent achievement. The event will include free refreshments, a chance at causal conversations with the author and signed copies of her book will be on sale.

“The book would be categorized in the romance genre, and the primary message is the importance of love and personal relationships, which seem to be set aside in favor of pursuits of lesser importance such as the pursuit of wealth, careers, and the accumulation of material possessions,” said Robinson.

“The book follows two ex-lovers, Caitlin Goodrich and Dr. Colin Thomas, along their parallel journeys as they fight to reconnect with each other.  They each must travel into their pasts to discover the truth about who they are, and lay old ghosts to rest, before they came become whole, and only when they are whole, can they truly love one another,” Robinson said.
