I’m excited to be flying to Dallas this weekend to join DARA, RWA’s Dallas chapter, for their annual holiday party. I’m going to be speaking and feeling festive with my fellow romance authors, and then after the DARA meeting in the morning, I am hosting a holiday tea in the Bishop Arts District at Potpourri Boulangerie. There will be 25 of us which is the perfect size for a Christmas tea.
Originally I’d hoped to have copies of my new book, A Very English Christmas, with me but the pub date was pushed back to December 10th. But I am so pleased that my new story is going to be out very soon, a week from today as a matter of fact. The countdown has begun!
And those of you who have read me, and followed my career, know it’s very unusual for me to go so long without having a book out which makes this new release extra special. My year of migraines did a number on me. Fortunately, the migraines are down (I still get a few a month, but not nearly every day) and I’ve created new external organization systems which help my memory, as well as taking some supplements to help focus, and that has got me excited about being creative. So much energy was spent trying to remember what I’d written, what I needed to write, and where I wanted scenes to go (I write out of order which doesn’t help) that it made it increasingly challenging to write new fresh scenes. But that is behind me now, and I’m nearly done with my February release, A Soldier’s Promise, which feels even better.
You can preorder A Very English Christmas ebook from all online retailers now, or you can also order a signed copy of the book from my new online shop. https://janeportershop.com/ and I will have that in the mail to you the moment the print books are in my hands.
Do check out my online shop and let me know what you think. Happy December, and much love to you, always.
Love your new shop! Have fun in the Big D!
