Getting My Signing Pen Ready * Love, Lies and Lavender Sale


image


August 28, 2023


I have a big book event coming up a week from Saturday. Romantic Galena Reads is taking over the historic DeSoto House Hotel in Galena, IL on September 9th during the town's Ladies Weekend. I'm super excited to go; I've never been to this particular author event before or even a romance-only signing (there will be 30+ romance authors). Stocking up on books, bookmarks and ordering book-themed stickers have been on my to-do list this last month, so I think I'm finally all set. If you're in the area on September 9th, I'd love to see you!


(Below: me last weekend at a local bookshop, Bobzbay Books in Bloomington, IL, for a book signing. It was such a darling, new-to-me shop with old and new books and the cutest merch too. I'm definitely going back!)

LOVE, LIES and LAVENDER is now FREE at all retailers! For those of you who have yet to dive into the Blueberry Point series, start with Book #1 (even though all my books can be read as stand alone novels).


If you love second chances, surprise, late-night meetings in the kitchen, out-of-control llamas, and meddling in-laws, you'll love Hilary's and Dane's love story.

My forthcoming spin-off series from the Blueberry Point series follows Cora Martin's friend, Janie Wendell (from Love, Lies and Literature #7) back to her hometown of Port Chance for her own second-chance romance. I'm featuring First Look Fridays in my Facebook group, sharing peeks at scenes, the characters, and a few contests too. Join us there for the fun as we look forward to release day in October.

This week I'm reading Jill Shalvis's Simply Irresistible which is darling. I picked it up while it was on sale, so I've included it below in case you'd like to try it too.

The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor.
