GOOD GRIEF COVER REVEAL

The one where you get rewarded for following me by seeing this first!

Should I skip to the good part? I’m just going to skip to the good part!

Without further ado, I give you…

Okay, that was me being theatric. But for real, here’s the cover!

Good Grief releases August 26, and I am SO excited to share this story with you!

It’s available for pre-order now wherever books are sold, and SIGNED copies can be preordered from Park Books here: https://www.parkbooksmd.com/item/NOOZpsDSEgv_n59cg_Ypzw

You’re going to get totally sick of me saying this, but pre-orders matter SO MUCH for authors. They help the publisher predict how a book will sell (which in turn affects me getting my next deal), and alllll the pre-orders count toward hitting bestseller lists. So if you’re planning to snag a copy, please consider pre-ordering from your bookseller of choice!

What’s it about? Well, I’m glad you asked:

Mother and daughter in-laws. To move on, one of them will have to move out in a hopeful and hilarious novel about widowhood and family friction by the bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write.

It’s 1963, two years since Barbara Feldman’s husband died. Raising two kids, she’s finally emerging from her cocoon of grief. Not yet a butterfly, but she’s anxious to spread her wings.

Then one day her mother-in-law, Ruth, shows up on her doorstep with five suitcases, expecting a room of her own with a suitable mattress. Abrasive, stuck in her ways, yet well-meaning, Mother Ruth has arrived without warning to help with the children. How can Barbara say no to a woman who is not only a widow herself, but also a grieving mother? As Ruth’s prickly visit turns from days to weeks to what seems like forever, she realizes Ruth has got to go. But Barbara has an ingenious plan: introduce Ruth to some fine gentlemen and marry her off as fast as she can.

Soon enough, something tells Barbara that Ruth is trying to do the same for her. At least they’re finding common ground—helping each other to move forward. Even if it is in the most unpredictable ways two totally different women ever imagined.

As promised, you’re seeing this first! But if you’re active on social media, please help me by spreading the word.

And that’s about it for now—I’m diving into some exciting new projects and traveling a LOT this month, but I’ll send out a real newsletter in another week or so, this one is just a treat.
