ITāS HERE š Introducing the *gorgeous* cover of my summer romcom, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DATES š
I am *obsessed* with the illustration from @carla__illustration . So much so that itās changed my outlook on cartoon covers.
This story was a beacon of light written during a pretty dark time, and I truly am proud of the final result. Please add to your TBR lists on StoryGraph, Goodreads, Fable or whatever you use. Letās make this an 80 Dates summer šŖš¾

Itās time to reveal date 2 of 80 š Introducing Amelieā¦
After pitching this book I knew pretty early on that my fmc would have both female & male love interests. For representation and my own love of a chaotic bisexual ofc, but also because (and I cannot stress this enough) I could not bring myself to write about 80 men.
Amelie was the first #wlw date I wrote and so she holds a very special place in my heart. So special, in fact, that Iāve also included a little baby extract of their meetcute as well, keep swiping šš

Whilst publishing a book is a dream come true, it certainly has come with highs and lows. And I think itās important to share the lows sometimes just as much as it is to share the highs.
The experience of publishing my first book with a big five traditional publisher was surreal, but also certainly had its pitts. But WE MOVE and we grow and we keep pushing for our passions. Published authors out there - please let me know if you relate. #authorslife #confessions #vulnerablepost #publishedauthor #howtopublishabook
