I SOLD my second book, Summer in a Bottle! Which means I get to keep writing and bring you more stories like Dahlia & Noah’s! When my agent submitted my proposal, I was hopeful, but I was also realistic. Publishing is SOOOOO hard! It’s a business like anything else. And although I worked my butt off marketing this book, it still wasn’t guaranteed. I didn’t see this one coming!
Oh, and one more thing. Do you believe in signs? Because I have a BIG one for you!
As many of you know, my dad has been a huge part of this journey for me, even though he passed before this dream had wings.
This can’t be a coincidence. That both books sold on his birthday.
Currently, this small-town romance is slated for a March 2028 pub day. Stay tuned!
Selling a second book is huge news — congratulations! Summer in a Bottle sounds like exactly the kind of story your readers already love. Keep them coming.
Congratulations on selling your second book — what wonderful news, especially with the small coastal town setting and the decades-old love story at its heart. The detail about both books selling on your dad’s birthday felt especially moving, and it is lovely that he remains such a big part of your writing journey. I will be looking forward to reading Summer in a Bottle when it arrives.
Congratulations on selling the second book. A small coastal town, a bottle and a decades-old love story is a premise doing a lot of work in one sentence. The part about being hopeful but realistic while the proposal was out is the honest version of publishing that most announcements skip. Wishing you a smooth road to the shelf.
Congratulations on the book news – seeing a project you have poured yourself into finally head out into the world is such a special milestone. I love that you shared the story behind how it came together. Wishing you every success with the release.
What exciting news – there is nothing quite like holding the finished copy of something you wrote. The peek behind the scenes makes following along even more fun. Looking forward to seeing where this book journey takes you next.
What great news, a sequel to a story readers already invested in is the best kind of book deal. Excited to see what Dahlia and Noah get into next.
To add to this, selling a second book is huge news — congratulations! Summer in a Bottle sounds like exactly the kind of story your readers already love. Keep them coming.
