Dear Reader,
TL;DR – Thanks for loving my book. I’m holding a fabulous giveaway (10 winners, *lots* of pampering goodies) to celebrate an incredible first week of release.
I am somehow both exhausted and energized by last week’s book launch and tour for The Summer Book Club! What a whirlwind! I remember in the early days of my career, sitting at a lonely table in the corner of the bookstore, trying not to feel awkward as shoppers passed me while trying to avoid my eye, so it is deeply, deeply meaningful to me that so many readers came out to see me—and even more of you ordered signed copies to be shipped to you. Thank you! I did leave a few signed copies with each store, so you haven’t missed your chance. . . yet.

Thank you so much for your genuine enthusiasm for The Summer Book Club, my feel-good gift of sunshine to brighten your winter days. The Summer Book Club shot out of the gate as a #1 New Release on Amazon in the category of Small Town Romance, and as a Barnes & Noble bestseller in both hardcover and ebook. I feel blessed to have such devoted readers who love my stories.
To celebrate, I’m giving away 10 of the fabulous door prizes I gave away at each book signing. These Summer in Winter care packages are amazing and full of exclusive gifts that you won’t get anywhere else. Keep reading for all the details. But first, if you haven’t picked up The Summer Book Club yet, I hope you will.
This summer, three friends find the courage to step into the next chapter of their lives...
The rules of summer book club are simple:
- No sad books
- No pressure
- Yessssss, wine!
Besties Laurel and Paris are excited to welcome Cassie to the group. This year, the book club is all about fill-your-heart reads, an escape from the chaos of the everyday—running a business, raising a family, juggling a hundred to-dos. Even the dog is demanding (but the bestest boy).
Since Laurel’s divorce, she feels like the Worst Mom Ever. Her skepticism of men may have scarred her vulnerable daughters. Cassie has an unfortunate habit of falling for ridiculous man-boys who dump her once she fixes them. Paris knows good men exist. She’s still reeling after chasing off the only one brave enough—and foolish enough—to marry her.
Inspired by the heroines who risk everything for fulfillment, Laurel, Paris and Cassie begin to take chances—big chances—in life, in love. Facing an unwritten chapter can be terrifying. But it can be exhilarating, too, if only they can find the courage to change.

SCENES FROM THE SUMMER BOOK CLUB BOOK TOUR
With smiling readers in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, hosted by Litchfield Books for a Galentines Day book launch party. Instead of saying "cheese," we said "Feel Good!" I signed some extra copies, so contact the bookstore if you want them to ship one to you.
Remember Belle, the Great Dane from The Christmas Wedding Guest? She was inspired by a real-life dog, and her mom Kim and aunt Shannon came to the signing in Myrtle Beach! Pictured from left to right: Shannon, me, Kim, and my assistant Jenel.
Dana has been a member of the Review Crew since the Review Crew started back in 2013! She came to the signing to get a signed copy of The Summer Book Club for her best friend Ashley’s 40th birthday. Happy birthday, Ashley!
In Orlando with Jeanne at the event hosted by Writer’s Block Bookstore. Jeanne has also been on the Review Crew since the beginning. It was fun to see so many readers come decked out in pink to complement the book cover.
At Foxtale Book Shoppe in Woodstock, Georgia, with Amy. You can’t tell from this picture, but Amy was wearing pretty pink pants.
This is Ana Raquel, who I met years ago at a previous signing. I fell in love with her name and named a character after her. Ana Raquel is the heroine of the short novella in the Fool’s Gold Cookbook.
Turns out, real-life Ana Raquel is a talented photographer. She took this picture of me signing her copy of The Summer Book Club. Thank you, Ana Raquel!
Thank you to everyone who turned out in Myrtle Beach, Orlando, and Atlanta! Contact the bookstores to get a signed copy of The Summer Book Club. Supplies are very limited, so don’t wait!
