Yesterday I did a very cool author-y thing. I hit “publish” on the paperback version of Sincerely, Jem. 😁🤩
^^ A.k.a. the most exciting pop-up message of an author’s life. 😆
And today… IT’S AVAILABLE, Y’ALL!!
I’m extra excited because this is the first paperback book I’ve formatted myself. 😉 #authorgoals
As are three other pretty cool books–the same ones that originally appeared in the A Very Bookish Christmas anthology. Would you like to meet them?
Sylvie of Amber Apartments by J. Grace Pennington is inspired by Anne of Green Gables, and I super excited to see how Grace mixes her characteristically deep themes with a slice-of-life storyline. 😉 I’ve heard fantastic things about this story, and I’m a huge fan of The Firmament series and Implant also by this author, so… 😀
Gingerbread Treasures by Rebekah Jones (#exceedinglycutecover) is inspired by a Sherlock Holmes mystery, and it DEFINITELY gave me those vibes. If you’re a fan of mysteries with a slight historical feel, you’re definitely going to love this one.
Molly and Anna by Sarah Holman (Pollyanna-inspired) is a fantastic mixture of pretty cute and sweet while wrestling with a really hard topic. I appreciate the author’s willingness to bring up the topic of racism and do her best to address it.
In celebration of our new releases, we’re giving away a $15 Amazon giftcard! 😀 Find the giveaway HERE.
Merry Christmas in July!
Have you read any of these books? Or which one(s) are you looking forward to reading?

Yayayayay!!!!! I can’t wait to get your story in paperback, Kate! Then I can share it with my niece, and other friends and read it again at Christmas time. 😀
Happy Christmas in July!

Oh wow, the formatting (in the picture) looks great! Was it super hard to figure out the first time?
And good luck to everyone in the giveaway! 🙂

Thank you so much! I had a fantastic template to work with (and lots of coaching from my regular formatter), so it was easy in some ways and hard in others. The hardest thing is working out all the little problems and making sure I notice them. 😉
