Hey First name / y'all,

 

Here at Stella Maris Books, LLC, we are gearing up for the April 7th launch of TROUBLE'S TURN TO LOSE! Y'all I am SO thrilled to finally get this book into your hands! Have you preordered your copy yet? 

If you're anywhere near Traveler's Rest / Greenville, South Carolina, please join us for the pre-launch celebration on March 31 at As The Page Turns (3 Plaza Drive, Travelers Rest). This is a free, drop in-party, but we ask that you reserve a ticket so we can get a headcount. I certainly don't want to run out of food, festive beverages, or books at this special event! Click HERE to reserve your tickets. 

 

It begins at 5 p.m., but we'll be happy to see you whenever you get there! Stop by and say “Hi,” and get your signed copy of TROUBLE'S TURN TO LOSE. Hang out with us for a while if you can--there will be festive beverages and appetizers to snack on!

Later that same week, on Friday, April 2, I'll be joining M. Judson Books for a pre-launch Lunch & Lit--more details on that coming soon!

 

Florence area friends! I'm coming to see you! I'll be there April 16 for a luncheon hosted by the Friends of the Florence County Library. This is a ticketed event and tickets are selling quickly! Please grab yours today--I'd love to see you! 

 

I'm also thrilled to announce I'll be a guest author at The Moveable Feast at Pawleys Island again on April 8. Location is still TBD, but keep an eye out HERE for more information and to purchase tickets!

 

I'll be doing a few other launch events, and there's a list below. We'll probably add a couple more in South Carolina, but I won't be venturing far from home with this release. Apologies to everyone who I've said the words “I hope to get there with the next release” to! I would love to do a big tour and visit as many states as possible, but I have to pivot really quickly back to writing as my next book is due out October 27, 2026, and I have a fast approaching deadline. 

Lowcountry Book Club members... Susan Zurenda and I recently chatted with Heather Webber about The Forget-Me-Not Library. The video will be posted Thursday, January 29 at 10:00 a.m. EST. Please share your thoughts in the comments, and remember, there are two door prizes every month for all discussion participants over the course of the month.

Happiest of New Years!

Door prize winners receive their choice of any one of The Lowcountry

Book Club's 2026 Books of the Month or a $25 gift card to Susan's store!

 

The door prize drawing will take place on the last day of the month. Prizes must be claimed within one week.
