Hello, lovely ARC Team!

This email has been a long time coming, and I apologize for the delay. This time of year seems to be insane with kids getting sick, school closings for weather, and everything else.

But I finally have a list of publication and ARC dates for you for 2025!

Right now it's very sparse. I wrote A LOT over the last two years, and I'm slowing down to refill my creativity. The problem is when I slow down, my brain begs to speed up, so there's the distinct possibility that I will email you later this year with more dates for the back quarter of 2025.

Here's what you can rely on:

• April - May: Much Ado About Hating You: Releases May 12, ARC available April 28
• July: TBA surprise release, ARC process to be announced
• November - December: New Series, Book 1, November 9 ARC available, December 8 book release

Wow, that's vague. 🤣 There's more in the works, but much of it I can't yet talk about. There is an October release, but again, I'm not sure of the ARC process for that yet; it's beyond my control.

I can say, though, that the November/December new series release will be one of two series I'm currently planning. I haven't decided which I'm going to release first yet, and the plan is to alternate releases for them.

One of the series is a trilogy with fantasy elements. Think Amanda Quick's Arcane books or Tracy Sumner's Romantasy series. But with a side of Sarah Maclean's Helles Belles series. Think 1829 British social structures but those structures are defined by magic. I think the words that pop to mind for it are: love potions, rebellion, ferocity, and courage. This series will be ROMANCE at its heart, for anyone worried and no major cliffhangers. Every single book will have an HEA. It will be thoroughly *Charlie Lane* but with magic! 🤣 But if you are someone who does not like magic--I understand. I don't expect you to read and review anything that's not your cup of tea. You can either let me know you'd rather not receive them or just receive them and ignore them. Either way is fine with me!

Because early Victorian and magic might not be everyone's cup of tea, I'll also be working on The Cavendish Spinster Academy! This series will return to my beloved Cavendish family, and to Henry Cavendish's youngest daughter Pansy, his wards and nephews, the twins Tommy and Nico, and Sarah's son Edward Pennington. Independent spinsters, mostly non-titled heroes, and a determined Cavendish woman to preside over it all! I'm equally excited about this series. 🤣

This is all just to say: I have dates for you but not many and some are VAGUE. Thank you for all your patience and support. I'm so lucky to have such amazing readers.

💜💜💜
