Welcome to this month's update!
|
|
|
It's publication month for The Floating Amsterdam Flower Shop which is out on 19th June! It's going to be in Sainsbury's here in the UK, so if you fancy #sharingyourshelfies, I'd love to be tagged in a pic either on Instagram or Facebook. It's so hard to get a book onto supermarket shelves so I'm beyond excited to see this out in the wild. Plus, I love this story! If you love ebooks more than paperbacks, I'll drop the link for it below.
|
In this month's update I've got a few of my favourite reads to look out for this summer and how to sign up for the Romantic Novelists' Assocation's new readers magazine! The first issue launched this week and I'll be sharing it here, but make sure you sign up for future editions because it is awesome!
|
Right now I'm writing the next book in the Floating Romance series and I've got to say, it's not flowing as easily as the first book did, but it will get there. Some books are just easier to write than others. Hopefully I'll have a first draft done by next month's update.
|
There's also audiobook news! A number of my Katie Ginger summer titles have been made into audiobooks! I've linked them below in case anyone has Audible credits to spare! 😂
|
|
I hope you enjoy this months packed newsletter!
|
|
Until next month, happy reading everyone!

In answer to last months question, some lovely people said mine (which is so kind!) and others recommended The Seven O'Clock club by Ameilia Ireland and One Summer in Italy by Leonie Mack.

I love the idea of the beach but actually hate the feeling of sand! I don't mind once I get to my syn lounger and can sit and read though! 😂

Spring Tides at Swallowtail Bay
|
|
In Swallowtail Bay the birds are singing, the sun is shining and the locals are welcoming – but Stella’s new beginning might be over before it’s begun…
|
Licking her wounds from her divorce, Stella impulsively buys a gift shop and two holiday lets in glorious Swallowtail Bay, hoping for a fresh start with her King Charles Spaniel Frank.
|
When the neighbours meet her with a warm welcome, Stella knows she’s found the new home she was looking for. Even gorgeous but grumpy local Miles can’t take the shine off things. But then her ex-husband announces he’s getting married again, and someone in the village starts gossiping about Stella…
|
|
Is Stella's dream over already? Or, with her new friends behind her, can Stella fight back and save her new life – and find the happy ever after she's been waiting for?

Summer Strawberries at Swallowtail Bay
|
|
|
|
Hetty Colman loves her life in the cosy seaside town of Swallowtail Bay, organising children’s birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. But after her recent break up from long-term boyfriend Ben, she’s been searching for something new.
|
So, when Hetty overhears locals wondering how to return the old strawberry festival to its former glory, she jumps at the chance to relaunch it. There are just two problems – she only has four weeks to organise it and absolutely nowhere to host it!
|
When Hetty manages to convince the aloof, yet extremely handsome, John Thornhill to use the grounds of his rundown manor, things start to look up. But as Hetty and John grow closer and Ben tries to win back her affections, can Hetty make the festival and her love life run smoothly at the same time?

In the little town of Greenley-on-Sea, summer has arrived. The turquoise waters of the sea sparkle in the sunlight, and along the beach’s promenade holiday-makers spill from ice-cream parlours and vintage shops.
|
|
For Sarah, summer brings the chance for a fresh start. As well as playing Miranda in the Greenley Players’ production of The Tempest (where she’ll get to spend loads of time with her best friends Lottie and Sid) she finally feels ready to find love again after surviving heartbreak. Could her handsome colleague Dr Finn Macdonald be the very man she’s looking for?
|
Famous actor Nate finds himself hiding out in Greenley whilst a potentially career-ruining scandal blows over. But when the Greenley Players get wind of his arrival, they draft him in to help out with their performance - and Nate certainly didn’t bank on his instant connection with the beautiful woman in the lead role…
|
|
As the temperature rises and the Players’ performance draws closer, can Sarah and Nate overcome their pasts and find love again?
