So in an author goal I did not know I had - my Marry Me, Juliet trilogy are getting gorgeous special editions via local company Bookish & Spice. They're beautiful hardcovers with sprayed edges, foil, reversible dust jackets, bonus epilogues, the works... and they're now available for preorder.

...did I mention you can pre-order my new book now? An Academic Affair is a romantic comedy about two long-time Anne-and-Gilbert-esque rivals entering into a marriage of convenience to navigate the broken academic jobs market (& I'm pretty proud of it). Buy links below ⬇️

A little bit more news! Paywalled, but the gist - An Academic Affair has sold into a bunch of different territories, including the US, the UK, France, Spain and Italy, among others. (Not included behind the paywall: how delighted I am about it.)

Let me tell you a bit more about this brand new book of mine - a book which is very close to my heart but also some of my own experiences. 🧵

Jodi McAlister’s “Marry Me, Juliet” series (set in a reality dating show) was fantastic (particularly the last one, which featured delightfully spiky & morally grey main characters). This one went immediately onto my TBR!
