Ten years ago, while I was on tour for LIES AND OTHER ACTS OF LOVE, I had a phone call with an editor from Gallery Books that would change my life.
She suggested that writing a series would be the next right move for my career, and, in a totally unplanned and uncharacteristic move, I pitched her an idea, off the cuff, for the series that would become… Slightly South of Simple. And The Secret to Southern Charm. And The Southern Side of Paradise.
During the depths of the pandemic, I was flattered and humbled and overwhelmed by the number of readers who told me they were re-reading the series to feel safe and calm and happy during a truly terrible time. And I realized… I wanted more.
Christmas in Peachtree Bluff was born. I knew, after that, that Peachtree was over, but I had another idea, one that I thought I would just write for myself because I figured it would never be published. Enter: fabulous editor Carrie Feron who wondered… Would I want to write more Peachtree Bluff?
Would I EVER?
And so… without any further ado… FALLING FOR PEACHTREE BLUFF is releasing in just a few days and you can come see me on tour!
