Not sure how I’ve managed to go this long without sending out a newsletter, but suddenly it’s May and I have a bunch of news to share.

This month marks one year since the release of Seven Rules for Breaking Hearts, which is a little hard to believe! I’m so grateful that it’s still being stocked in bookstores a year later, that reviews are still rolling in, that readers are still tagging me in posts telling me how much they enjoyed it.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do to celebrate my first anniversary as a published author on May 16th (open to suggestions), but one thing that’s happening for sure this month is the grand opening of a brand new Barnes & Noble location in South Portland, ME, where I’ll be signing copies of Seven Rules on May 25th!

Over the course of the next couple months, I’ll be sharing more info about other upcoming events to celebrate the release of Given Our History in August. If you’re unlikely to attend an in-person event but would still like a signed copy, you can pre-order through Oliver & Friends Bookshop, a lovely local indie store here in Maine. Every pre-ordered copy will be signed and will include a themed bookmark, travel sticker, and a fridge magnet with a special cocktail recipe, while supplies last.

Last but not least, I’m excited to announce that Given Our History is headed to the UK! It’s being published by Zaffre (Bonnier Books UK) and set to release on the same date as the US edition. Stay tuned for more details on international releases!

That’s all for now. I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their May and enjoying some beautiful spring weather. It’s still a little gloomy here in western Maine, so I picked up some flowers today to brighten things up. 🌻

Talk soon!
