One month until RIDE WITH ME!

Start your countdown clocks, my friends, because we’re officially four weeks away from the release of RIDE WITH ME! 🏎💍💒💜

Huge thank you to everyone who has preordered the book already. Preorders are super important for authors because they show publishers that there’s an actual demand for the book, plus it gives them an idea for how large the print-run should be. These numbers really matter for an author’s career because more demand = more books in the future. I’m so lucky that I get to write three more books in this series, and that’s all because of your support. So thank you!!

Also, if you’ve preordered a signed book, I am SO excited to sign that for you. I love being able to scribble in books and not get in trouble for it.

Here’s a roundup of everything that’s been happening/will be happening soon. I’m so excited to celebrate the launch of RWM in Brooklyn before popping across the pond to celebrate in London, then coming home to celebrate again in DC. If you’re coming to any of the events, I can’t wait to see you! (I apologize in advance if I start talking your ear off about F1 - feel free to stop me at any time, I won’t be offended lol)

UK Cover

Before we get into anything else, I gotta show off the beautiful UK cover. For those who may have been worried the UK edition of RWM wouldn’t match your copies of CROSS THE LINE, never fear! Here’s the UK cover which matches CTL’s perfectly. And check out that lovely blurb from Stephanie Archer! I’m so lucky she not just read the book, but enjoyed it enough to say nice things about it. Thank you, Stephanie! 💜
