Hi ,

I want to say that this past week has been so amazing and fun. But well, that would be a lie because...it's been exhausting. But that's okay. We all have days and weeks like that.

Our co-op is almost over and honestly, I am looking forward to the break. I think things will calm down a bit when we aren't running so many places.

Life & Writing Updates

Last week we were supposed to go to the apple orchard, but I woke up Friday morning sick. So, unfortunately, we missed our trip. I was sick most of the weekend and between sleeping and reading two books, I also managed to write about 7k words...

On a completely different book idea that just hit me while sick. Seriously, what is wrong with my brain? haha But...I'm going with it. I know have 10k words on this super secret project. Will it be releasing before my other WIP? I honestly have no idea. It depends on several factors. But for now, I'm going to keep writing what is working. And this book is working. The characters are so much fun. There's snarky banter. A bit of frenemies-to-lovers vibes. And a meddling best friend.

Don't worry, I am not giving up on my other book! It's about 76% complete. So I am really close to having it done! But...well, it's a heavier book and right now, I just needed to focus on something a little bit lighter. And I think you are going to love it!

I also have another SUPER SECRET PROJECT going on and just heard back from someone that it is ALMOST ready. So....keep your eyes open because this secret project should be releasing sometime in December. I'll be sending some teasers out here as soon as I know more!

Author Spotlight

Happy Release Day to Author Kim Griffin!!

I had the chance to ARC read this lovely story and you do not want to miss it! Women's fiction with romance and tons of faith.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Mr. Darcy does not exist.”

Many a young woman has spent years looking for her perfect Mr. Darcy, but Kate Thomas knows better. A 29-year-old recently widowed southerner, Kate sets off to find herself on the other side of the ocean in the very country where Mr. Darcy’s life was penned. Looking only to escape reminders of her heartache, Kate journeys to places she never thought she’d go—finding faith, love, and family along the way.

Not Quite Mr. Darcy is not a P&P retelling but the story of a woman’s journey to discover what real love is.

An ocean … it’s vast and powerful. The water that fills it can bring death, or offer life. Kate Thomas moves her life across an ocean to conquer the hold of her past and find new life for her future.

Not Quite Mr.Darcy is women’s fiction with clean romance (kisses only). It tackles forgiving the seemingly unforgivable and the disillusionment many a woman has faced upon realizing that the perfect husband they’ve been raised to look for doesn’t exist. Kate, a recent widow, leaves her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Seeking distance from her past she takes a job in Kingsdown, England, working with a dementia patient in a cottage overlooking the English Channel. What she finds there is much more than she anticipated. Kate learns to find joy even in the hardest circumstances.

**I have not read this book, but have been assured it is clean!

Winter needed time away after her fiance dumped her for her former best friend. A relaxing get away, a few books on the beach, dreamy cocktails. She wasn't looking, neither was he, but they met. Will fireworks lift off, can a chance encounter sustain them? Zac was on a mission to rescue a kidnapped child. He needed to focus, would Winter be a welcome or unwelcome distraction?

Prayers

I would love prayers for the stories I'm working on! That they will be God-honoring and that, Lord-willing, I'll be able to release the newest one before the end of the year. But most importantly, I just want to tell the stories that God has placed on my heart.

How can I pray for you this week?

Blessings,

Latisha
