Yes!! Thank you!!!

It was excellent! Thank you. I can't wait for the rest in January!

Yay! Thank you for the September pick-me-up!

Oh my goodness I can't believe our Bay is in 10th grade, and I am looking forward to meeting Mariah!

Any chance you could post this in a larger font or a larger page? It's very difficult to read. When I use the magnifying glass to enlarge, I lose half the page. So, I must go in and out, in and out. I'll try to read it again later if changes are made. Now I feel old. (42)

I had the same problem I had to enlarge/zoom the actual browser page.

If you click the arrow at the top right hand side of the document, it will enlarge!

It enlarges but for me it cut half the page off and the bottom scroll bar didn't work but just zooming the browser worked for me.

Oh, this was soooo good. It almost makes me wish I hadn't read it because now I can hardly wait for January! Time to go back and re-read Sarah's books. I think I'll save Garden Spells for last - that way, it will be closer to publication day!

Sigh...so sad I have to wait 'til January.

"A cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon".....oh my, I can't wait!

Also love the part about hanging on the phone not saying anything....I've done that with my best friend many times. :)

and so life begins again with our favorite Waverlys ... bless you for bringing them back!! This will be the perfect way to start my retirement ... a cup of tea, sweet dark chocolate somethings and your next book. I just can't wait !!

Absolutely LOVED this :D Thank you so much for the sneak peek! It is going to be pure torture waiting until January :D

Read it...loved it...January is so far away!

Reading just that excerpt was magical and wonderful! Really can't wait for the book. xx

Same thing happened to me, so instead the best way to read it is to click the button at the top right and it will take you to a Google Docs page where you will easily be able to read it. Hope this helps! :)

Beautiful cover design!

Where is the excerpt of first frost? when I click on the link above, I only see a blank page.......

Cover design is really classy. And for those of us who have read "Garden Spells" the apple is more than just a symbol of autumn and the first frost!

First, let me say that I love her books; Garden Spells being my absolute favorite and The Sugar Queen being a close second choice. So, no one get grouchy about my opinion of the First Frost cover. Well, it's not exactly what I had expected. I do see the Garden Spells tie in with the frosted apple and apple blossoms, but the cover isn't inspired. It's simple, but maybe a little too plain and simple? If you're unfamiliar with her books, it wouldn't catch your eye. Maybe if the deck/porch was frosted over and an apple had rolled across it leaving a path in the frost (implying the tree had thrown it to her Garden Spells fans). Or possibly it had rolled across a frozen patch in the garden or the frozen pathway leading to the house's back door. It's just missing an element of interest...at least for me. But it I'm still anticipating the book in January!! January 20th to be exact!!!

Hi had the same issue, Juli! The excerpt is linked on the book page. I tried a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome) and it worked fine.

I pre-ordered it on Amazon yesterday. Is it January yet :)

Thank you! I was using firefox, and still can't get it on my laptop, but mangaged to read it on my kindle! Thank you Cynthia :)

Can't wait till publication day! But it gives me time to go back and read Garden Spells again.
