October's News!

Welcome to this month's update!

Hello my lovely readers (especially the newbies!),

💗Welcome to October's news!💗

You've probably seen that I'm giving away a free book to those who've signed up to my mailing list. The newbies should already have theirs but as a thank you to my long time supporters, I've added buttons below so you can get your copy too! I really hope you enjoy it!

🖋So what's been happening this month?🖋

Well, thankfully the kids are back to school! Hallelulah! And I'm now starting work on another Annabel French novel. We're off to another dreamy European destination and I'm planning a research trip as soon as I can palm the kids off on their granny and grandpa!🤣🤣 Here's a few hints of where we're off too, because I'm not really supposed to say anything yet...🌷🚲🚤

Any idea where we're going?

I've also completed structural edits on the last Emma Royal novel. More info to come on that too as soon as I can.

And just to make life interesting I've been working on a secret side project! I'm defintiely keeping this one under wraps in case nothing happens with it but I've enjoyed flexing my storytelling muscles in a different way.

My work with the Romantic Novelists' Association has been continuing and we had a Board meeting in early September where we worked through lots of things. It's hard work, but great fun and I love the people I've met along the way.

To relax, it is of course, reading and I've got some brilliant recomendations below. I'd love to hear yours, especially any Christmas reads you've got your eye on, so tag me in your reels and photos on Instagram!

Until next month, happy reading!

Lots of love,

Katie

A surprise trip home. A bookish dream. A second chance at love.

Nora’s city life isn’t exactly working out how she planned. She’s stuck in her best friend’s tiny boxroom and hasn’t yet found that dream bookish job. But when she’s forced to return to her hometown of Little Harbour, Nora’s life takes an unexpected plot twist. Her estranged sister needs her help and the beloved family bookshop of her first love, Alex, is about to go out of business.

Alex knows a trip home to his dad and The Book Nook is long overdue. If only his own life wasn’t such a complete and utter mess he’d have visited by now. But then he hears Nora Bell is back in town and it’s the push he needs to change everything.

When the two meet again it’s clear the spark of attraction still burns bright, but their unresolved past overshadows any possible future. Can they work together to save the bookshop and find their fairytale ever after, or will hidden secrets and surprising truths keep them apart?

Perfect for fans of second chance romances, dreamy bookshops and escapist seaside settings!
