I am one lucky girl. Looking back at the last week, it was filled with family (Knoeble's Amusement Park for Mother's Day and my sister Jena promoting my new release like no one else) and friends (a quick overnight trip to Mt. Joy including dining in a cavern) and a brand new book! Many days I think of goals I've yet to meet, like seeing muscles instead of, well, non-muscles. Or being the next biggest romance bestselling author. But I try every day to remind myself, despite the goals yet to hit, of all the things I do have which I'm grateful for, including YOU! Without readers, I'd still be a teacher. :)

I've got some Cecelia news!! With a few weeks opening up in my schedule this month, I'm going to sneak in a novella that I've been tossing around in my head. For those of you that finished my most recent series, the Knight School Chronicles, can you guess which character I will be writing about? Email me to send me your guesses.

I'm currently reading King of Envy by Ana Huang and noticed the book is in a paperback box set. I wonder if readers might be interested in such a collection? I currently have ebook box sets for all series including: Boys of Bridgewater, Grado Valley Vineyards and Kitch Falls. But a paperback box set or collection isn't something I've explored. Thoughts. Email me to let me know what you think.

I love every review from readers who are supportive and or passionate enough about my books to take time from their schedules to share thoughts with other readers. But one in particular made me SO HAPPY. (I was told as an English major, no caps, and no exclamation marks…use words, instead, to show excitement.) But I'm breaking that rule because Diana W. said, "This [book] was spellbinding! ‘m not normaly a fantasy girl, but I am loving this series." 

 

I wasn’t a contemporary romance girl, but read a friend's book (Hold Me Today by Maria Luis) and was hooked. The idea that one of my own brought someone into a new genre is honestly the best compliment. Thank you to every Cecelia or Cissy reader who dipped their toes into romantasy with Whisper of War and Storms. I hope you loved Tide of Waves and Secrets equally as much! xoxo

Tides is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited and also on all other retailers too.

Each week I share part of a quote to coincide with the theme of my books. With Sunday's Tide of Waves and Storms release, this one channels our inner-Nerys. Put it all together, email me the full quote at the end of the month, and be entered to win a signed paperback of your choice.
