NEW RELEASE!

The Last First Touch

The Do-Over Pact Book 4

is now available!

Abby:

What's it like to look back on your dating life and not cringe, I wonder?

When I think back over all the guys I've dated all I come up with is a list of regrets going all the way back to that summer before my senior year of high school when I made out with Jeremy Stevens at the end of summer beach party up in Lakeview.

Talk about cringey.

***

The guy with the guitar stops playing intermittently to discuss his technique with the group of mesmerized kids. I watch the kids mimic the way he holds his fingers on the fret board.

This must be the guy that's taking over teaching music down here.

I take in the dark hair, the wide shoulders, the bulge of obvious biceps under an otherwise loosely fitted flannel shirt.

When he raises his head to look up at me, the view of his close-cropped, dark hair gives way to a chiseled jaw and a wide smile as recognition fills his deep brown eyes.

My initial interest is immediately replaced by a wave of nausea that moves through me as I realize that the new "Jeremy" teaching music at the recreation center is the same old Jeremy of my awkward adolescent fantasies turned nightmares.

My voice fails and I resist the urge to break into a run as my very first regret stares up at me.

Jeremy:

I'd been crushing on the Abster since the sixth grade. I hoped that make out session before our senior year back in high school might have meant she felt something for me too.

Then she ghosted me.

One look at her today and I know that what I felt for her was more than a crush.

She might still be out of my league, but at least now I have something to offer a woman like Abigail.

Maybe there's more than one reason I'm back in Landsburg, I think, maybe this is my chance to show Abby that I'm not that same loser she remembers from high school.

If I can just get a second chance with her, I'll make sure she never regrets kissing me again.

The Last First Date: The Do-Over Pact book 1

Welcome to Landsburg:

Bottomless mimosas, bitchfests, and brunch.

That's what we do on Sunday mornings.

The Lakeside Laundry & Boat Dock Cafe is the quirky sort of place you'd expect to find in a much trendier city like Seattle or Portland-- or at least some place that actually had a lake.

But no. There's no lake, no laundry, and no boat dock but there is a pretty damn good cafe...

Welcome to Landsburg and five girlfriends who make a pact to step back, slow down, and get a do-over on their dating history.

From here on out, they're saving themselves for someone special.

The Do-Over Pact is the new series of short stories featuring a group of close girlfriends and the third-pitcher-of-mimosas decision they make during one Sunday brunch that ultimately kicks off the chain of events that leads them all to their happily ever afters.

It's amazing how fast the Right One shows up once you're done wasting time on all the wrong ones.

What's this? Two new release in one month? Did Roxie go out and hire a ghostwriter?

No such luck-- ghosts are expensive! And more importantly-- they don't have the same voice I do. You'd totally be able to tell it wasn't me...and my ego couldn't take it if you liked them better! LOL.

Truthfully? I'm working very hard to finish the Do-Over Pact and get back to a few more Match-Maker books.

The next-- and last-- book in the Do-Over Pact series is on the way soon too! (So those of who you are waiting to binge read the series will finally get your chance!)

Well...

September 13th was supposed to be the big day when I loaded up the Monkey (not an actual monkey! It's the dog's nickname) and my laptop, hitched up the trailer and ventured forth into America's wild west to begin my endless roadtrop.

Alas...it did not come to pass.

Partially because I'm in the process of publishing the rest of the Do-Over Pact books and I need reliable internet until that's wrapped up, but also greatly due to the fact that trailer is a chaotic cavern of tools and wood still destined to become kitchen cabinets.

I have places to be in October though, so I'll be rolling out of here soon enough.
