Hey Swooners,
I hope this month has treated you well! I cannot contain my excitement for all of you to meet Paloma and Clinton. Second Swing just went into line and copy editing which means I’m getting ready to send it off to my last sensitivity reader and then probably crawl into my bed with a bowl of ice cream.
We are getting so close so of course that means I have a few things to share with you. Preorders and ARC’s are LIVE!! What’s an ARC? It’s an advanced reader copy of Second Swing and is being managed by Luna Literary Management. If you would like to be on my ARC team and receive an eARC copy early please join in on the fun and sign up (there may or may not be a giveaway for ARC readers who leave their honest reviews by November 7th… but you didn’t hear that from me so hush it 😌)
Both physical and kindle preorders have a little bit of something for everyone. If you preorder with The New Romantics Bookstore, the paperback will come signed with a NSFW vellum page, and an exclusive bookmark. You can snag yours here.
ICYMI: If you are more of a Kindle reader, I just announced a preorder incentive giveaway. If you preorder the kindle version of Second Swing and fill out the incentive form, you’ll be entered to win a gooseneck kindle holder, a bluetooth kindle page turner, and a pair of 90 degree lazy readers… basically I’m setting you up to bundle up and read Second Swing in pure coziness haha. There could be a few extra goodies included as well.
And because I can’t keep everything to myself, here’s a little excerpt of my love birdies and remember this is unedited, we read and we don’t judge 👀
“Damn Dove, you are…” My thoughts are lost as I let her old nickname slip.
Her eyes go molten as she says, “Cat got your tongue, Golf Daddy?” The breathiness in her voice has me considering pressing her up against this door and giving her neighbors a fucking show.
“It’s not the cat I’m worried about. Come on before the last of my resolve crumbles.” I slip my hand around her waist, and she giggles. It’s not lost on me this is the first time I’ve made the move to have her in my grasp. And now that I’m touching her, I don't think I’ll be able to stop myself from doing it again.
Are you ready for the art I commissioned by @mayharte? I won’t reveal anymore about this scene because you know… spoilers but meet the General HOES (IYKYK) of the Cypress Lake Reunion series.

Do I have more art coming? Of course I do 🤭 Until next time.
Forever Swooning,
