Had a delightful time signing copies of Kamila Knows Best at Indigo Eaton Centre yesterday! There are some copies there! Cutest thing happened, after signing the books, and putting them back on the shelf a woman chased me down in the next aisle asking me if I would personalize one for her. I was delighted! #bookstagram #yabooks #booksale #yaromance Look, what’s on sale! My debut, YA rom com, Tahira in Bloom is only $1.99 on kindle all month. Grab it now! Had a delightful day at the Distillery Christmas Market yesterday. Perfect way to spend December 1st. And ended with yummy sushi. First holiday manicure. I suspect my nails will get more Christmasy each week. These matched my gin and tonic today so well. Happy thanksgiving to my American friends and readers! Or as we like to call it in Canada, happy Thursday! I’m always happy for a reason to express gratitude, so today I am thankful for each and every person who has read and enjoyed my books, and who has supported me! Here’s to more happily ever afters! The most beautiful two words a writer can write: THE END. My eighth book (holy cow) is drafted. Clocking in at 56k words, this is going to need significant revisions. Drafting isn’t my favourite part of writing, (Team Editing) so it always feels so satisfying to get a story down so I can get to the fun part of turning it into the story I want to tell. And extra special to draft it in 23 days. Excited to share the cover for my next book! How to Win a Breakup is a YA romance with video game catfishing, fake dating, and lots of baking. I am in love with the cover so much! Thanks to Skyscape and to @christinaillos for the amazing artwork. This captures Samaya perfectly (and to be honest, it looks a bit like me when I was 17). I just won NaNoWriMo! Which means I got to 50k words on my #nanowrimo2022 project! This book is about two chapters from being done. And then I will be doing major revisions on it, but so far I love it.
