I'd like to start off by saying Happy (Very Late) New Year's!

This is a newsletter for both me, (Abigail Kay Harris, author, entrepreneur, founder of Beyond the Bookery, etc.) and The Bulletin (Beyond the Bookery's newsletter.).

We were sick the majority of the month, covid is lovely, you know? 🤢

Anyway, doing a monthly newsletter, is quite, honestly, a lot. This means that for now, I will be switching to a quarterly newsletter. If you'd like to stay up to date on me, my writing, and Beyond the Bookery more often than that, you can find me on most social media sites.

By the way, Beyond the Bookery's news is going to all be coming from here, The Bulletin for Beyond the Bookery will have a home online, but I am not going to be using it at the moment. It will be used to share about Beyond the Bookery's books on their releases days, but that is all for now.

Speaking of Beyond the Bookery! The submissions page has been updated with some fun new projects that you won't want to miss.

Whether you are a fantasy or fairy tale retelling author, enjoy putting your own twists on classic stories, love writing small-town contemporary romances, or enjoy sharing regency romantic comedies, you won't want to miss our new submissions releases.

I'm especially excited for A Beautiful Heart Collection.

What is A Beautiful Heart Collection, you may be wondering and it is the upcoming anthology featuring Beauty and the Beast retellings coming soon from Beyond the Bookery. The cover is absolutely gorgeous! And not one of my designs. The incredibly skilled Madisyn Carlin from Mountain Peak Edits & Design is the one that deserves the love for this amazing cover.

The cover reveal date hasn't been chosen, but it should come sometime this year, and I can't wait to share it with you!

Beyond the Bookery's latest release is not a book. It is my first ever publishing course! I am so excited to have Manuscript to Marketing finally finished and ready to help writers of all genres, ages, and experiences finish the publishing process.

You can find all of the information here.

If you are a reader and wondering just what is new for you from Beyond the Bookery, we've started a lovely new community on Facebook!

You can join Babbling with Beyond the Bookery here.

That's all for the business side of this email.

Personally, life has been a bit chaotic. Good, but crazy too. There's been bad, of course, but there has also been good.

I've gotten lots of editing done, worked on so many fun things, watched our kittens grow, and realized my little siblings really aren't little anymore. Le sigh.

It's crazy, really.

One of the really good things is, of course, that Oh, The Lamented is in the final stages of editing. Do you know what that means?!

You can join the launch team here! Or join the blog tour/social media tour/review team here!

I'm so excited and I really can't wait for my debut novel to release.

While we wait for release day (which is in just over 100 days!) you can find the playlist here to get a feel for the book. 😉 I do have a Youtube list too, but Spotify is easier to share. Youtube users, feel free to email me for that link if you need it!

This was a bit of a scattered-brained email, I know, but it's what I have for now!

P.S. Be sure to stop by my Instagram for some extra fun things happening there in February!
