✨I’m so excited to finally share the cover of my debut novel with you!✨
LAST CALL AT THE SAVOY is the story of two women—one living, one erased—who meet across time in the most magical of places: the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London.
Cinnamon Scott a once-promising writer, is now stuck in a haze of grief after losing her parents too young. When her sister needs her in London, Cinnamon heads to The Savoy—and finds herself unexpectedly pulled into the story of Ada Coleman, the first female bartender at the hotel’s iconic American Bar... and a woman history has tried to erase.
As Cinnamon digs into Ada’s lost legacy—with help from a certain very charming historian—she begins to confront her own past. I can’t wait for you to meet Cinnamon, Ada, and the eclectic cast of characters who call The Savoy’s storied halls home. 📖Available for pre-order now 📅Out November 4, 2025 💌Link in bio
Thanks to the @thenovelry for turning me into a writer, my literary agent @rebecksington for getting me this far, and to the creative team at @grandcentralpub who designed this gorgeous cover!🍸💋✨
I look forward to the Drama League Luncheon every year. It’s where top talent from this season’s new Broadway and Off-Broadway productions celebrate the year and each other. It’s a joyful, fabulous, love fest for this business we call show. Thanks to trustee Darin Oduyoye for the extra special front row seats this year. Let awards season begin!!
✨Happy Pub Day to the brilliant Christina Baker Kline. Her highly anticipated new novel, THE FOURSOME, is a reimagining of the extraordinary true story of real life conjoined twins, Eng and Chang Bunker, and the sisters who married them. Getting to know and work with Christina has been one of the greatest joys of my new literary chapter. Her incredible talent, boundless productivity, and over the top generosity have been a true gift. Add this to the top of your TBR pile immediately!📚💋
At last night’s Film At Lincoln Center Chaplin Awards honoring George Clooney, I was struck by how the tributes hardly mentioned his work. Instead, speaker after speaker highlighted his kind and generosity. How he stands up for colleagues, gives back, and does good. When he accepted the award, he said ‘Luck can be shared.’ I loved that. But I think, more than luck, kindness has been his true secret to success. Thank you to the fabulous and generous Julienne and Barry for hosting!💋🍸✨
So much fun with Christina Baker Kline at Books on Third today! The Naples literary community never disappoints. Can’t wait for her new novel The Foursome—it’s about her real-life relatives who were famous conjoined twins. Out in just one month!
Loren Literary Weekend Final Event Recap😛
You know her as one of the world’s premier Prima Ballerinas, but Tiler Peck is also an established author. Lucky for Bermuda’s local ballet students, Tiler brought her world-class artistry to them with a beachside ballet class on the Loren Disk. The dancing was followed by Tea with Tiler, a conversation about her extraordinary career, hosted by Diana Kemppainen, President of the Princess Grace Foundation. They discussed Tiler’s numerous Princess Grace Awards and her journey from stage to page. The rest of us could barely resist pirouetting into the action with those aspiring ballerinas.
For our next literary adventure, we took to the seas with bestselling authors Fiona Davis and Greg Wands in conversation. It was a beautiful day to sip Dark & Stormy’s while hearing about their writing process. Including how Fiona selects the iconic settings for her atmospheric historical fiction novels and how Greg Wand’s college friendship turned into a co-writing success story. I can confidently say that when everyone stepped back onto dry land, they were ready to pick up a pen - myself included!
Last but certainly not least, we waited until after dark to delve into the world of page to stage with multi-Tony Award winning producer Greg Nobile. During a literal fireside chat overlooking the Atlantic, Greg took us behind the curtain of Broadway and shared secrets we swore wouldn’t leave the island. Four days, five authors, one unforgettable weekend. Turns out, Mark Twain isn’t the only one who came away from Bermuda with fresh. inspiration. We’re all delighted to be writing the next chapter of literary travel. Thanks again to all of the authors who join us, to the Loren team, to jessica and to everyone who joined us for the first of what will hopefully be many more Loren Literary Weekends.

Last weekend we launched a new chapter for literary travel! Following in the footsteps of Mark Twain, who famously found inspiration on Bermuda’s beaches, we celebrated the new Loren Library, for which I’m honored to serve as curator. We kicked things off with a star-studded Literary Weekend: five authors, one stunning oceanfront property, and three days of intimate conversations with guests and locals. All hosted impeccably by @meghanmeriwether , @rfinell_petersen and the @thelorenhotels team and gorgeously captured by @jessicariekephoto . It’s way too much for a single post so stay tuned for the first event pics from Bermuda’s favorite bookstore!

I had the honor of interviewing superstar romance novelist Abby Jimenez live on stage in NYC celebrating the release of her straight-to-bestselling newest novel, The Night We Met. Thank you to all the passionate readers who packed the house, to @symphonyspace for the beautiful venue, and to @lucasiverson_ for bringing Abby’s words to life. Getting to feel firsthand the pure love @authorabbyjimenez readers have for her—while we chatted, laughed, and carefully avoided spoilers—was truly a joy!!
