Hi First name / Friend,

 

I started this newsletter going in a completely different direction. Then I realized how exhausting life has been. Our inboxes are at capacity, bad news is everywhere, social media has drained us, and time is passing way too fast. So I changed it up. 

 

There's only one thing to say this time of year. Thank you. Thank you for being here, for spreading your passion for books, for reading my stories, and sharing your own. I'm always touched by our interactions and connection, and I'm thrilled to end the year with some positive news.

 

Exclusive for subscribers only. My ninth novel THE OUTBOX has a release date of April 20, 2027. Like most things in publishing, plot twist. After a complete switcheroo, I Wish I Never Met You is on hold, and I'm racing to finish The Outbox for a May 2nd deadline. Look out for the official announcement and details in 2026.

 

Are you in New York or close by? Come meet me in person at the Marlene Meyerson JCC. I'll be there January 26-31. See details below.
