DEAR CAROLINA is Getting a Sister!

9780425279984_large_Dear_Carolina

No, no… I’m not having a baby. I can’t even tell you how many times I was asked that when I called people to tell them “I had good news,” meaning I’d gotten my first book deal for DEAR CAROLINA. And then there’s no coming back. Because, I mean, yeah, people are excited that your dream is coming true, blah, blah, blah. But once someone thinks you’re having a baby, whatever comes next is always a letdown.

So, no, little Will is not getting a human sister. But my next novel (I think I’ll be able to tell you the official title in the next couple of weeks!) will be coming out in early Spring 2016! Yay! From Berkley/Penguin Random House again. I absolutely love my editor there, so this is the best news ever.

I’ve finished the first round of edits and the talented designers are working on a brand new cover, so all that’s left to do is wait. But, at this point, I’m pretty used to that!

It seems quite auspicious that I’m sending the contracts back for the new book exactly TWO MONTHS from the day DEAR CAROLINA comes out. Two months?? It’s getting so close, and I’m so excited! I wish I could have a celebration margarita with all of you. I’m working on my tour schedule, so if you’re making book club selections please keep me in mind. (Or if you have a fun bookstore or event you think I should come to!) I’d love to come visit your town or Skype or FaceTime if I can’t come to you!

In other fun book news, my friend Katie Moretti’s book, Thought I Knew You is Amazon’s daily deal! Only $1.99 for a fabulous, NYT Bestseller!

AND Adria Cimino’s amazing Close to Destiny just launched! It’s getting wonderful reviews already. Can’t wait to dive in!

Wishing you a wonderful day!

    • You know all about that, Sonja!! Thanks for all your advice and help. xo Kristy

  • AHHHHH, this is SO EXCITING!! I can’t wait for the first one, and now I get another dose next year! I hope you will be coming to Quail Ridge as part of your tour! Are you having the same designers do the next cover, because you know how I feel about Dear Carolina’s cover 🙂

    • I’m certainly planning on it, Donna!! Maybe we can finally meet in person 🙂 As far as I know the cover designers are the same. I can’t wait to see what they come up with!

    • Thank you, Carolyn! Hope you’re still enjoying Dear Carolina!!

  • Kristy,
    This is so exciting. I know you’re officially on the road to being recognized as the wonderful writer you are! I can’t wait to hear the title. CONGRATULATIONS, my friend!
    xo,
    Karen

  • Kristy, I’m thrilled for you! I will definitely raise a margarita – or possibly an martini – to you this weekend. I’m incredibly impressed and just can’t wait to read Dear Carolina. We would absolutely LOVE to get you in Seattle. We have a great independent book store here – Elliot Bay Books – and perhaps if I could arrange a skype call with the author, my book club would actually talk about the book for once 😉 Congratulations on your exciting news! XOXO

    • Hahaha! That sounds pretty familiar, Jeanne 🙂 Reading the book in the book club is totally optional! Love it!

  • Congratulations!!!! I just knew that a second novel would be in the works for you! Hey, how did Mary Ann get an advance copy?!!! Anyway, so happy for you and so excited with this book for sure!

    • You’re getting one, reviewer Vel! I’m surprised it hasn’t made it to you yet! Keep your eye out and let me know if it doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days. Thank you!!!
