The countdown begins …

Rev your engines, readers!

Summer may be in full swing, but September 8th is just around the corner. Only two months to go until the final three titles in my Mother-Daughter Book Club series are released, featuring all-new covers…

 

… AND (drumroll, please) an epilogue!

 

 

It’s not a scrawny epilogue, either.

If you haven’t noticed yet, brevity is not the soul of Heather Vogel Frederick. I pulled out all the stops for this one. There are nearly one hundred additional pages brimming with everything you love about the mother-daughter book club! Appended to the last book in the series, Mother-Daughter Book Camp, the epilogue delivers a total of five full chapters, one for each of the book club girls (women, now, actually–it’s a decade after their last summer together, and they’re all grown up). Emma, Jess, Cassidy, Megan, and Becca each get one last star turn, one last moment in the sun, as we learn about their lives since we left them on the brink of adulthood, ready to spread their wings for college and the wide world beyond. Are there surprises? You bet. Romance? Of course! Drama? Naturally. Family, friendship, and fun? I wouldn’t have it otherwise. And there’s also what I hope is the best ending ever….

You can pre-order these three titles now from your favorite bookseller (the first four are already available). As always, the books will be published in both hardcover and paperback, and as e-books. PLUS, I just found out that there’s a boxed set of the paperbacks coming this fall, too.

September 8th can’t come soon enough for me!

 

 

Come write with me!

Home for the Holidays

What are you doing this Sunday? Want to write in the company of kindred spirits? Come join me online from 1:00-3:00 pm, Central Standard Time (U.S.), for this month’s Betsy Tacy Society Drop-In Writers’ Lounge.

I’ll be giving us all a brief pep talk, and then we will have dedicated time to work on our individual projects. 

Although I was a latecomer to the Betsy Tacy books, as many of you know, they’re dear to my heart. In fact, in Home for the Holidays, I had my fictional book club dive into the series—something I like to do myself from time to time for inspiration. Maud Hart Lovelace is a wonderful writer, and her books deserve to be cherished by a wide audience. If you aren’t familiar with them, treat yourself and add them to your bookshelf!

You can find more information about Sunday’s event and pre-register here.

Hope to see you there!
