And then there were 5...

Most Likely to Match is out today!

hello lover,

Today I publish my 5th book. I cannot express how excited I am for you to have it. Not just because it was something I wrote while in the depths of severe depression, something that kept me alive. Not just because it was something that I truly love and enjoy. But also because, now I can finally pause my second job as a content farmer.

I was talking to my dear friend Ada of Be the Archetype, trying to describe how difficult this piece of the job is for me, the content piece.¹ I finished writing this book a while ago but I have spent so much time having to pick apart what is left of it and turn it into content that I have a hard time seeing the book for what it is.

But now, today, I feel a sense of freedom. My little book is free to fly, maybe fall, maybe soar, who knows. But it’s out of my hands now and into yours.²

And, oh, I hope you love it. I hope you love Chloe, who is a bit of a mess, frankly. But trying. Wanting to be better, to be her best. Not just for the people she loves, but for herself.

And Dean, sweet, sad, pretty Dean. Dean with his long eyelashes and pouty lips and hair in his eyes and if you pictured Josh Hartnett circa Pearl Harbor, well…I wanted to write a man who was hurt, who is hurt, who can be hurt, but who can also put himself back together.

I don’t know if I succeeded in those goals but in the end, that’s not for me to decide. They’re yours now.

Most Likely to Match is available on Amazon and KU and in print. You can also request it at your local indie order because it’s also available on Ingram Spark, and available online at other large print retailers. Or you can request your library carry it, as well.

Finally, if you like Most Likely to Match, I’d be forever grateful if you also left a review, either on Amazon or Goodreads or wherever your precious heart desires.

I’ll have more to say soon about what’s next, including books and at least one event, but for now, I am going to go sit in the sun and read a book just for fun and not make a social media post for as long as I can last.

Thank you fo rbeing here, for reading my books, for reading this book.

xo,

1. Ada, by the way, created a beautiful and easy content calendar for me and she is the only reason I’ve been able to promote this book at all. If you have any author branding or book marketing needs, go to Ada. She is the way.

2. Of course, book marketing doesn’t stop once a book is published, despite what most traditional publishers would have you believe, but I don’t need to be on such a high-performance schedule now, which is quite nice.
