HEY, HONEYS! 💛
YAY! October, the month of fragrant woodsmoke, beautiful autumn colors, the beginning of sweater weather, and trick-or-treating, is finally here. And, as a bonus, it's my birthday month. If your birthday is also in October, shoot me a response to this email to get a shoutout on my socials on your special day.
The subject line of this newsletter is from one of my favorite poems, "To Autumn", by John Keats (who shared my birthdate). It charts the season's mature colors, its blooming fruits, and the warm comfort and glory of Fall. It's also the season of wet weather, mud, and the beginning of downed trees and power lines.
📚 Brooklyn Book Festival - Literary Marketplace, September 27. Sadly, due to inclement weather, this event was CANCELLED! A storm whose name I've yet to learn washed it out and flooded the subways and the Hudson River's banks in some places.
I was kinda relieved, honestly, because I have so much on my plate now, including this bit of happy news.

Gifts of Trust, the 7th book in the Twelfth Day of Christmas Romance series, is NOW OPEN FOR PRE-ORDERS!

AND NOW FOR SOME BIRTHDAY-MONTH SHENANIGANS ...
I'll be doing a post each day on my socials to celebrate my birthday. (If you want to know how old I'll be, shoot me an email!) But since I only put out a newsletter once a month, in addition to inviting you to find me on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to see what I'm posting, I'll give you 4 fun things to do with me.
💫 Please share with me:
1) A place that changed you.
2) A song that belongs on your romance soundtrack.
3) A character whom you would invite to dinner.
4) Something you believe about love.
I'll be sure to read your answers on the days when I answer those questions.
📚BOOK RECS TIME:
Summer Surprise by Mel Walker: "Perfect for readers who love grumpy-sunshine banter, forced proximity, protective heroes in uniform, found family, and small coastal towns with big secrets. Closed-door romance with all of the tension: swoony kisses, no on-page spice. Guaranteed HEA - no cliffhanger, no cheating."
Prado Sloe: The Case of the Dirty Dog by Olivia Gaines: "The Dirty Dog is the first case in the Prado Sloe Investigations series---a witty Southern noir mystery featuring memorable characters, slow-burn chemistry, humor, and a city full of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Because sometimes finding the dog is only the beginning."
