Case for my kindle my daughter crafted with publishing stickers and quotes

Super happy to have this new tool in hand to read subs & client work. I πŸ’™ kindle on my phone but with calls, emails & socials it’s become too distracting! So thankful to my sweet artistic daughter for caring & crafting an aesthetic case for me that fits me perfectly & sets the tone. Gonna go read!

No and no one does unless you’re a proven author with a track record of great sales.

Agents with clients on sub to editors are like kids on a road trip with their parents: β€œAre we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” πŸ˜†πŸš˜

Happy pub day to Paige Dinneny graphic for her debut novel End of August.

For all my women's fiction readers out there...this story will break your heart & then put it back together again with a superglue made of love, forgiveness, hope, & the hands of a community holding those up who can't hold themselves alone anymore. Happy Pub Day to Paige! @alcovepress.bsky.social

Finally able to share the cover of the next Blight Harbor book, PENNIES. Illustrator Alfredo CΓ‘ceres & designer Karyn Lee have created something beautiful, special, & truly unique.

PENNIES is set 100 years before THE CLACKITY but I promise there are some familiar characters.

PENNIES is out 9/23/25

I'm honored to work for the agency she founded, Spencerhill Associates, and for her friend of many years, Nalini Akolekar, who will carry on Karen's tradition of excellence. t.co/od6FneS2ZV

It's remarkable to think a woman I knew was such an influential figure in publishing. To think, if you're a female editor or agent today, women like Karen came before us and made a way. She was a powerhouse, quintessentially New York in her directness, but had the biggest heart.

Sad to share but blessed to celebrate the remarkable life of our founder, Karen Solem, who passed this Sunday. She helped build the romance genre to powerhouse status, publishing Nora Roberts first 100 books, & was also a trailblazer who paved the way for women in publishing.

I particularly love the darkly delicious nested narratives in @lorasenf.bsky.social’s The Losting Fountain. But out of those, Noemi’s haunts me. I love it but it haunts me. But bad things happen when one world bleeds into another.
