✨We made it to Nashville!✨ After a slightly chaotic few days of unloading (I owe my entire life to @rjthereader & her father-in-law for moving in all the furniture that our movers said wouldn’t fit), we are getting settled into our new home. It’s so surreal being back in Nashville after five years away, but it’s already beginning to feel like home again. As a Rabbit Room member, I’m also counting down the moments until I can go write at North Wind Manor (and see Tolkien’s fireplace in person)! Change is scary and complicated, but there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow ahead of us.🩵 And now, onto my first writing session in my new office!🥲 ——— 💫Hi, I’m Samantha Mendell! I’m a YA fantasy writer, full-time editor, and firm believer in the power of storytelling. Looking for a story with: ✨high-stakes adventure ✨found family ✨Nordic-inspired culture ✨mythical creatures ✨elemental aptitudes ✨slow burn romance ✨supernatural battles ✨and much, much more? 💫 “Letters from the Stars”: The Bearer Chronicles, book 1 is coming soon!

Still overwhelmed by the love and support from family, friends, writers, co-workers, and beautiful strangers who came to @powerhousearena to help welcome ✨Loneliness & Company ✨ into the world last week. A book takes years to write, and then the day it publishes, it takes on a life of its own out in the world. The hope? That maybe a stranger—or a friend—picks it up and finds something they need, loves the characters, begins to think differently, or maybe even has a good laugh. It’s scary and beautiful, and my heart is so full that pub day was filled with more enthusiasm and love than I could ever have dreamed of. (Special thanks to @mcgheemolly for being the best guide throughout it all. @sart733 for surprising me! All the Bloomsbury team! @janedingdong and @emilyhuntress for making the trip to NYC! @emeverywhere_ for some of these photos!

Thank you @katerockbooktours and @plaicelisa @storeylinespress for a copy of Evie’s Haven!! I dropped it in The Little Free Library today! @littlefreelibrary This was a quick cute read- I enjoyed the female friendships in the book and also the main couple was super cute and pretty steamy too! This book is going to be a series which I always enjoy. “Synopsis: Is dating after forty really as hard as they say? Well, Evie doesn’t want to find out! Evie Jones is a widow of three years, with an eighteen-year-old daughter. Struggling to simplify her life and trying desperately to convince her daughter not to leave the nest. And her ‘No Dating’ rule is part of that struggle. So is selling her big house and moving into something smaller. To help with that plan, she hires a handsome contractor to complete her partially finished basement. Sullivan Contracting owner Ryan Sullivan is still reeling from a bitter divorce. This handsome, hard-working bachelor, is starting to think he might stay that way. Especially after his best friends sign him up for a blind date that ends in disaster. But unbeknownst to them, Ryan has had his eye on someone special. Someone that has a strict ‘No Dating’ rule. But when the attraction between Ryan and Evie builds, can Ryan convince Evie that some rules are made to be broken? Is he perhaps the one man capable of showing her that dating after forty doesn’t have to be hard after all? Steamy, funny, and romantic, Evie’s Haven is a surprising mixture of laughter, swoon-worthy romance, and deeply emotional moments. Because life is messy, and laughter is too important not to share.” #EviesPlace #RomCom #ContemporaryRomance #SteamyRomance #LisaPlaice #debutauthor #canadianauthor #lflweek #secondchanceromance #laterinliferomance #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #readwithme #katerockbooktours

This week is European Mental Health Week (13-19th May). My debut novel ‘The Retreat’ is told from the perspective of Max, an insecure twenty-something suffering from burnout and mental health issues who decides to go on a meditation retreat.

A cruel slave owner cursed—the slave that cursed him, sold. Will he ever return to a normal life? Richard, a particularly punishing slave owner, sees black slaves as nothing more than property to do with as he pleases. After buying a few new slaves—including an incredibly beautiful young woman named Nini—his evil ways reach new heights. In the heat of the moment, two of his other newfound purchases react to his treachery. Thinking nothing of their actions, Richard continues about his life. But after a restless night, he wakes up to discover he’s no longer a white plantation owner… but a mute black slave. Worse yet, the woman who cursed him has been sold. As his evils are revisited on him, Richard wonders if he’ll ever return to his old life or if this new hell is permanent. Debut author A’Dreana Anderson presents a haunting and poignant historical fantasy, offering a unique perspective on the atrocities inflicted on enslaved men, women, and children. Firsthand is a beautifully heartbreaking tale of injustice, guilt, forgiveness, and the unfolding of profound transformation. Mark your calendars! 📆 I’m so excited about this. On July 7, 2024, "Firsthand" will be published in ebook, paperback, and hardcover on Amazon. Follow me or get on the newsletter from the link in bio and we’ll send you a reminder when it goes live. 🤗 See you there!

AD/PR The Ministry of Time, Kaliane Bradley debut, is a most impressive read. It’s a genre non confirming powerhouse, that will have you staying up late to read it. It’s out tomorrow! The Ministry of Time is one of the most sumptuously written books I’ve recently read. Bradley’s writing is pretty stunning and demands to be read and luxuriated in at times. Her characters, some of whom are literally ripped from History, are all so distinctly drawn, each their own incredibly unique voices. This is the kind of book you’ll finish but then immediately want to pick up again to try and connect the dots you may have missed the first time round. At its centre is our FMC, an unnamed civil servant who is now working for The Ministry. Her job is to act as a ‘bridge’ for her assigned expat from History, 1847 or Commander Graham Gore. She is to report on his experiences of assimilation as the Ministry tests the limits of time travel by gathering expats from across History. The pair grow into friends, and then evolve into more. Yet as the true shape of the project reveals itself, Gore, his bridge and the other expects are forced to face their pasts and their imagined futures. This novel really is special; that it can be a sci fi, a romance, with a dash of historical fiction, contain both humour and peril, all whilst dealing with significant and challenging topics such as racism, colonialism, immigration, forced assimilation, generational trauma to name a few, and yet never do you feel lost or preached at. The way Bradley melds and weaves the genres together has created one hell of a story. I’m excited to see what she comes up with next. Try to go into this one relatively blind. The twists and turns are brilliant, and make this very hard to put down indeed! With thanks to @netgalley and @sceptrebooks for the advanced copy in return for my honest review. #theministryoftime #kalianebradley #sceptrebooks #bookstagram

Kyoto Japan is truly a magical city. Amazingly untouched by wars, it was Japan's capital for over 1000 years. The city's rich cultural history is spread out through the many well-maintained temples and tranquil gardens. Much like Rome and Paris, Kyoto masterfully merged its history with modern growth. I was so touched by Kyoto that I used it as one of the settings in Eye Contact Over Truk. My obviously unprofessional photos do not honor that lovely city. In this picture, I am standing in front of the Ryoan-ji Temple (which done properly would show the beautiful use of gold leaf on this entrance). I highly recommend a multi day visit there, if your travels take you to Japan. To get a quick glimpse into the majesty there, search the 17 Must-visit Temples and Shrines in Kyoto. #historicalfictionbooks #historicalbooks #japantravel #kyototrip #emotionalread #wwiifiction #wwiibook #poetsandwriters #bookcase #bookcollection #ReferenceBook #debutauthor #debutauthors #myfirstbook #onwriting #mywriting #myfirstbook #woodmanbooks

ARC Review: Four Weekends and a Funeral by Ellie Palmer ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5 I really enjoyed reading this! The characters are very charming and relatable; the chemistry is perfect. This book would make the perfect early 2000s rom-com movie. The book opens up with the main character, Alison, attending the funeral of her ex-boyfriend Sam. Sam never told his family they broke up, so they still believe they were dating when he passed. To make this easier on the family, she takes on the roll of the heartbroken girlfriend. She agrees to clear out his apartment with Adam, Sam’s best friend. This novel deals with grief, and there were many raw moments throughout the book. Along side the grief of Sam, Alison has the BRCA 1 gene mutation. She has already had preventative surgery and feels like she needs to do more with her life, be more adventurous. She goes out of her way to try adventurous things even when that’s not who she really is. This book was SOOO amazing. It dealt with sensitive topics in an amazing way. And the romance with Adam is one of the best I’ve read in a long time! The banter between them had me giggling. The characters felt so real and human, it was really refreshing. It comes out August 6th! Would highly recommend. Thank you NetGalley and G.P. Putnam for providing me with an ARC for an honest review.
Thanks to @avidreaderpress @simonandschuster , I am on the move!

💥 BIG NEWS! 💥 You can now purchase paperbacks of LOVE APPTUALLY! It’s still taking a while for the metadata to kick in on B&N and other retailers, but if you head to my bio, you can get your copy on Amazon and have it delivered before launch day! The book community is often told to support independent bookstores, which is fantastic, but that mainly applies to traditionally published authors. As a self-published author, I’m asked how readers can support me, and the next best place to buy books other than from me directly on Etsy is Amazon, where I receive the highest royalties. And if you’ve already reviewed my book on Goodreads, you can now post your review on Amazon as well! Thanks so much for the support. I’ll be celebrating with a week of gratitude posts because I couldn’t have done any of this without all of you ❤️ #loveapptually #romancebookstagram #romancebooksofinstagram #indieauthor #debutauthor #romcombooks #romcomreads

LAST WEEK IN REVIEW ✍️ Here are the remainder (minus 1) reviews I owe you for the month of April. Be sure to swipe through because I think I have something for everyone here. A dark suspense, a “historical” romance that challenged me, a horror debut that thoroughly creeped me out and a repeat author that kept my attention the whole way through. I also talk about these on my Substack April recap podcast episode. I personally prefer my voice at 1.5x speed 😜. It’s a quick listen and gives you more insight into each of the books I read in April. Link for my Substack is in my bio. Let me know if any of these books sound good to you. #basicbsguide #suspense #thriller #horror #pageturner #newbook #mustread #tbr #whattoread #historicalromance #poetry #debutauthor #toberead #readers #drinkerofink #weusedtolivehere #ifsomethinghappenstome

On this episode of Debut Discussions, we’re chatting with Jessie Rosen about her debut novel, The Heirloom, a story about a woman who lives by the rule that you should never ever accept a marriage proposal that comes with an heirloom ring. When her boyfriend proposes with one she sets out on a globe-trotting mission to ensure the ring contains forever energy. Jessie shares the personal inspiration behind the main character Shay’s superstition about vintage engagement rings; the significance of the locations featured in the book, including Italy, Portugal, Boston, New York, and LA; and why she wanted to explore the themes of grief, personal growth, superstition, and the limitations of control. The conversation also includes a sneak peak of @jessierosenwriter’s next novel, which deals with astrology and we obviously cannot wait for that one! Listen now to Jessie’s story wherever you get your podcasts. The Heirloom is out now — buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author’s dreams come true!).
It's an incredible gift when another author agrees to read and blurb your book, and I cried happy tears myself when I got this back from @annierainsbooks. 🥰 I can't believe after all these years of reading her books, she read my book...and liked it! Have you grabbed your copy yet? There's a link in my profile!
It's cover reveal day ✨ for my friend @meganc.author and this cover is 🔥! Superiors is available for preorder, so let's dive into the blurb for this epic story! (Preorder link in my stories.) BLURB: In a world where millions have powers, but few are brave enough to use them… ONE FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE Jaiden Daniels, a young woman with a troubled past, can control objects with her mind but can’t control her anger. A combination that turns deadly when a group of vicious radicals abduct her father. No one will help Jaiden search for him, except her enhanced sisters and a new ally with a wit and arrogance that drives her nuts. ONE FIGHTS FOR A LEGACY Eric Wolfe yearns to help the world by fusing his teleporting powers with technology, but the key ingredient to make that possible is stolen from him, putting his company and his father’s legacy at risk. Eric will do anything to get it back, including work with a crazy woman, whose passion and selflessness intrigues him. BOTH WILL BE BETRAYED. Jaiden and Eric will need to face deadly enemies, work with questionable allies, and survive each other to succeed. But horrible truths will come, and the fallout could push them to cross every line. They may get what they want, but what will they sacrifice? #superiors #actionpacked #superheroes #christianfiction #fantasyauthor #scifiauthor #preordersopen #coverreveal #bookstagrammer #debutauthor #localmaineauthor #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram
ARCs available through newsletter! Katherine, Princess of Spain, was intended to solidify an alliance with England through a marriage to their king, Arthur. However, when rebels infiltrate the castle and assassinate her new husband before their wedding night, Katherine is forced to renegotiate with Arthur’s younger brother, Henry. As tensions escalate between Catholics and Protestants in their respective kingdoms, Katherine and Henry find themselves depending on each other to maintain peace among their people. Rebels begin to advance in Spain, and Katherine must rely on Henry’s assistance to safeguard her kingdom and her reign. When tragedy strikes, loyalties shift, and Henry becomes increasingly estranged from his wife. Katherine finds herself isolated, far from her homeland, while her people suffer and die as the rebels plunder through Spain. Without Henry’s support, Katherine is left vulnerable to attack, with only the capable hands of Captain Jerome Albright to protect her. After all, these rebels desire nothing more than to overthrow their Catholic queen. A reimagining of the marriage and reign of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. #booktok #bookstgram #arcreader #tbr #reading #debutauthor

Thinking about how one year ago today I moved from WI back to NY state and completely changed my life in the biggest way since getting sober. This time last year, I signed with my literary agent @kissedbyink, moved to a brand new town where I knew zero people, and left my wonderful, painful, bittersweet, beautiful time in Milwaukee behind. I am almost one month away from being 5 years sober (!!!) and if you take anything from my page or journey, please let it be this: Listen to your gut. If something in your life feels off, don’t brush it away. Sit down, identify it, and then get really brave. Get uncomfortable. Embrace change. Do what you need to do to get more out of your life. You’ll never know what your life will look like in a year’s time. You could be posing with a custom pillow with your debut novel’s book deal announcement printed on it. 😉

PODCAST ALERT! The idea for THE STORY THIEF began ten years ago in 2014 when I first came across Henry Lawson’s classic story, ‘The Drover’s Wife’, during my English and creative writing studies at Macquarie University. Dr Michelle Hamadache, who was then my tutor and is now head of Creative Writing, recently invited me back as a guest lecturer - a truly affirming full circle experience for me!! 🙏📔 One of our interview discussions has just been released as the latest episode of From The Lighthouse, a literary podcast published out of the Department of English at Macquarie University. You’ll find the podcast link in my bio or just search for From The Lighthouse.

Side characters in SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE with absolutely zero explanations. One or more of these characters is getting their own spin off book that I have already started 👀 One of my favourite things about writing novels is the supporting cast. Each of my books have a well established cast of characters that have been so fun to write! Do you like side characters? Who do you think will be your favourite in SYATFL?! SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE is a cozy, open door, adult romcom about two runners who have an adorable meet cute at the start of an ultramarathon.

🍑Days when🌱 the world looks bright blue with potential, luscious green with promise. Days when you know the other side of the woods is the bright open. Days when I remember I'm a peach (fuzzy, rounded) easily bruised - but only on the surface, only for a moment, because inside I'm strong. The heart, the pip, my core, the muscle I exercise most is protected willfully and wildly by softness. So really it's all just like when the DJ plays a track you don't like and your hips are out of rhythm, out of synch. But you stay on the dancefloor knowing it will line up again and you will find your beat. It might arrive as a remix you weren't expecting, but you will lean in, knowing it's your tune. And really the tune is just birds singing, leaves rustling, sun shining, thunder clapping, rain pouring, moon rising. Days when you know, just know, to take that step, when you don't just hear your intuition, but you fully listen. And it whispers "what you need is on the other side". Days when you break that habit, make that change, let the trauma bond break. Because it's your time now. New bonds, new beats, are waiting for you. Days when the world looks bright blue with potential, luscious green with promise. Days when you know, just, know what's on the other side will be worth it, and all you have to do is be courageous enough to earn it. Days when you take that step x May the week ahead allow you to pour in so that you may pour back out. And if you need it right now, I hope you're being poured into. Don't forget to reach out, don't forget to check in with each other, don't forget to live in total gratitude. Honour your every blessing. Lots of love, your favourite peach xx 🍑 #poem #Mondaymotivation #writerscommunity #debutauthor #poetsofinstagram #creativewriting #ootd #goddess #wildwomen
Shamima Sharmin and the team at @bklynlibrary Brooklyn Heights Branch have planned an incredible Period Party for tweens and teens tomorrow from 4-5pm. The goal is to end period poverty and stigma, and I am so thrilled to be participating as an author. We’ll book talk about FREE PERIOD, my comedy centering period equity out now from @scholastic, chat, craft, and if you read the fine print you’ll see the library is even providing pizza and soda. All of my favorite things! Everyone who comes will get a bookmark and sticker. I’ll also be doing some door prize giveaways. Even if you can’t make it, please check out the incredible work the library is doing with Cycle Alliance to get everyone the menstrual products and education that they need. And you can either borrow FREE PERIOD from the library or purchase a copy just a few blocks away at @booksaremagicbk on Montague Street. A great way to celebrate Menstrual Health Awareness Month!! #freeperiod #aliterese #bookparty #periodparty #debutauthor #2024debuts #menstrualhealthawareness

Wow, what a debut book! There are so many things I love about #beyondtheachingdoor that I'm not sure where to begin! As I like in the Philly burbs, I couldn't resist an urban fantasy set in my hometown, and I went on mostly blind beyond that. I was immediately sucked in. The world building is divine. The characters intriguing. The mystery, as it's slowly revealed, rich and rewarding. Many authors try to create a sense of yearning and heartache, few succeed as well as #victoriamier This is a book that sticks with you. I don't know how I'm going to wait until December for the conclusion! #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookdragon #romantasybooks #debutauthor

I successfully completed a captivating book with a substantial page count, yet faced my greatest challenge in selecting its title and cover design.🤷🏼♀️ Despite three years of dedication, I hit a roadblock near the publication deadline. However, I made the decision, and my book will be titled “Lost Eagle,” deemed the most fitting choice for my story. The cover design was created by @studio49ro 🙏💛 We’ll soon launch the pre-order campaign. I hope you’re eager to explore this book, where I’ve invested not only my time and effort, but also my soul. “Lost Eagle” coming out on June 14!🦅 #losteagle #debutauthor #book #writer #disabled #contemporaryfiction #bookstagram #indieauthor
