I have so much news to share with you! New book. New series. New experiment.

1. New book. My next novel is entitled Memory Lane and it releases on February 14th! [::::DRUM ROLL::::] Here’s it’s cover….

This cover style is a change for me. Graphic, illustrated, bold, bright. Personally, I love this type of cover and am delighted to be “packaging” my new book this way. Stay tuned! At the end of this post, I’ve provided Memory Lane’s back cover copy and first line — which give a glimpse into the story’s plot and characters.

2. New series. This series is set in the ruggedly beautiful state of Maine. In Memory Lane, you’ll travel from a remote island to a charming coastal town. I called the series Sons of Scandal because the three books will center around three brothers, each born under the shadow of scandal.

3. New experiment. Have you heard of a platform called Kickstarter? I didn’t know much about it until recently. But when I heard that its mission is to “help bring creative projects to life” my interest was piqued. The more I learned, the more inspired I became because I have a creative project I want to bring to life. Namely, Memory Lane’s audiobook.

I’ve basically created a temporary online “pop-up shop” on Kickstarter, stocked with items I very much hope you’ll love. Ebooks that arrive a week before Memory Lane’s official release day. Signed print books that also arrive prior to release. All sorts of cute, exclusive, bookish swag that’s only available for the next ten days. When the shop closes, none of the swag will be offered again.

I love that this project enables me to do something fun for YOU, my readers. And I love that the profit raised from the sale of these items will go toward the production of Memory Lane’s audiobook. Win/win!

You’ll find my Kickstarter project here!

The short video below explains the motivation behind this project, plus gives you a better look at some of the wonderful swag.

There are eight different “rewards” to choose from over on Kickstarter. I’m going to share a few here to give you a sense of what’s available.

The bundle above is our largest. It includes all three formats of Memory Lane, an acknowledgment in the back of the print and ebook thanking you (or your loved one) by name, a wooden bookmark, stickers, a custom candle, and a custom tote bag. This bundle also includes a book cozy handmade specifically for Memory Lane by a friend of mine. Fair warning: I only have seven of those! When those are gone, they’re gone.

The bundle above includes the print book, stickers, and the tote. All print books ordered through Kickstarter will be autographed and, if all goes according to plan, will reach you before other readers will have access to the paperback.

For the next ten days, Kickstarter is the only place where you’ll be able to pre-order Memory Lane. After January 16th you’ll be able to pre-order at all the usual places.

I encourage you to visit my Kickstarter page, where you can view pictures of all eight reward options. I go into much more detail there! Questions? Feel free to ask them below in the comments or email me.

You’ve been tremendously supportive of me and my books over the years. I’m excited to have the chance to do this for you and with you. Thank you!

Here’s the back cover blurb!

After surviving a trauma several years back, Remy Reed relocated to a cottage on one of Maine’s most remote islands. She’s arranged her life just the way she wants it, spending her time working on her wood sculptures and soaking in the beauty of nature. It’s quiet and solitary—until the day she spots something bobbing in the ocean.
 
Her binoculars reveal the “something” to be a man, and he’s struggling to keep his head above water. She races out to save him and brings him into her home. He’s injured, which doesn’t detract from his handsomeness nor make him any easier to bear. He acts like a duke who’s misplaced his dukedom . . . expensive tastes, lazy charm, bossy ideas.
 
Remy would love nothing more than to return him to his people, but he has no recollection of his life prior to the moment she rescued him. Though she’s not interested in relationships other than the safe ones she’s already established, she begins to realize that he’s coming to depend on her.
 
Who is he? What happened that landed him in the Atlantic Ocean? And why is she drawn to him more and more as time goes by?
 
There’s no way to discover those answers except to walk beside him down memory lane.

Here’s the first line!

“The day Remy Victoria Reed fished a drowning man from the Atlantic Ocean began in the most ordinary way.”

I’d love to hear your thoughts, readers!
