![]() Okay, three. Three fun updates. 1) Book 2 of my Galway Series, "What She's Having," comes out exactly ONE MONTH from today! Yippeeee! You can preorder now. It's also a great time to catch up on book 1--"Curves for Days"--if you haven't already read it; 2) The cover for book 3, "Hard to Get," is already appearing online, so let me just do a not-very dramatic cover reveal here... (instead of swiping to see the reveal, scroll down); and 3) The winners of my "Name a Character" entries in the Romancing the Vote 2024 auction are Kim Shore and Petra Stephens (via Jana Meyer). YAYYYYY! I'm already plotting how and where to work them into my works-in-progress. Okay, drumroll for the cover reveal.... scroll.... scroll.... scroll.... [Image descriptions:
Smaller image at top: Against a brown paper background the teal-and-cherry-pie cover of the novel "What She's Having" by Laura Moher, beside another book, purplish, which is peeping out from behind a torn navy blue paper wrapping. Caption above WSH says "Coming in 1 month." Caption above 2nd book says "Coming in March." Larger image at bottom: Same basic image as image 1, but with the paper wrapping removed to show the purple-and-ivy-vine cover of the 2nd book, which is entitled "Hard to Get," also by Laura Moher. The image 1 captions are replaced with a single word "Yippee!" and white fireworks graphic.]

It's been a not-real-hot, very rainy summer so far in the Twin Cities. That means I try to take advantage of sunny days by going somewhere pretty. Two things I'm looking forward to in the second part of this summer: a trip to Duluth (my first!) with my son, and the release of book 2 ("What She's Having," Joe & July's story) in my Galway series. I expect Duluth to be beautiful, right there on the lake in warm weather, Fitger's Inn and its bookstore and patio dining right there... We're going to have a great time.
This week's quiet for me, but last week something very cool was going on: Romancing the Vote 2024, a silent auction with lots of additional "buy now" items for readers and writers and lovers of arts & crafts and fun household stuff. To raise money to get out the vote in November, a bunch of romance writers (led this year by Courtney Milan and Kit Rocha) and friends organized this event and donated items. I participated in two previous similar events, but this year was my first time participating as a published author with something to donate! Soon I should get official word telling me who the two winners were for my donations (Name a Character in a Laura Moher work in progress). I've already heard through back channels that one of my friends won one of them and wants to name a character after a mutual friend of ours who is a LOVELY person who devoted her adult life and career to serving survivors of domestic violence. I will be VERY proud and happy to recognize her (lookin' at you, Petra!) in this way. I ALSO received word through back channels that another friend had the winning bid on an offer of character art, and that she's giving it to me! I've always admired (and, okay, been envious of) authors who have had that done. So as you might imagine, I'm really excited and touched about this lovely gift in the name of a good cause too (lookin' at you, Beth!). Stay safe and have a lovely July, y'all.
