Okay, so where the heck did 2024 go?
Does anyone else feel like it was just summer yesterday?
I hope you all had a happy and safe New Year, full of friends, family, laughter, and everything you need to bring in 2025.
Did you do anything fun? Are you a go out to the bars, dance the night away and steal a midnight kiss type of NY goer? or do you prefer to just stay home with a smaller group or by yourself?
I personally am a BIG fan of just hanging out at home with a small group of friends, having drinks, snacks and listening to music. I am hosting NYE this year and am decided that I am going to step up my charcuterie game for the small group of people going (that is as of Friday before, cause when this comes out it'll be NY Day)
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE NEW YEAR LETS TALK ABOUT 2025 AND WHAT TO EXPECT
(mostly because I am not ready to reflect on 2024 yet)
2025 is the YEAR of BEAUTIFUL NOTES BESTIES!
This year I will be perfecting BN, self-publishing (again), doing a longer & hopefully larger presale & releasing the first full-length novel of the Fisher Creek Series.
Are you familiar with Beautiful Notes?
no? Well let me give you the run down !!!
Beautiful Notes is the first full-length novel in the Fisher Creek Series (which comes after Cranberry Kisses) and depicts Ollie & Noah's life 10 years later. It is a spicy contemporary second chance romance, with hints of a small town, one bed, brother's best friend, friends to lovers and military recognition.
but the real question is...
Can one text message, leading to one night, change everything in their friendship?
AND FOR MY LOYAL BLOG POST READERS:
Here is the tentative timeline for Beautiful Notes this year!
I am roughly 1/2 way through my author edits so that will definitely be done early this month. I am hopefully sending this off to my editor end of January or early February and will open BETA READER APPLICATIONS THIS MONTH!!!!!!!
Beta Reader Applications:
A beta reader is "a person who reads a work of fiction before it is published to mark errors and suggest improvements, typically without receiving payment."
SO if this is something you are interested in participating in - BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE APPLICATION towards the end of January!
I know I talked about being over the moon excited for Cranberry Kisses but that excitement feels miniscule in comparison to that of Beautiful Notes. This book has my entire heart and I am beyond excited for this year!
this blog post is already longer than I originally expected so lets end it here and reconvene soonish -
also should I transition this into more of a weekly update / thoughts life process for you all? I feel like this is a great way to just chat with everyone. LMK your thoughts!
bye bookies!
