Move over morning joe! I have a new drink to start my day.
MAM & PCH
My best friend and fellow writer Patti Callahan Henry introduced me to this drink after she learned about it at a health spa. When she shared the recipe with me, we were both trying to be a peak energy for writing our novels, which are both out this summer–Beach House for Rent and The Bookshop at Water’s End (if you love my books, you’ll love Patti’s too).
ONE WEEK.
JUNE 20TH.
That’s the release date of BEACH HOUSE FOR RENT.
It’s a return to the beach–my beach–the Isle of Palms, where I call home. And this is a book of my heart.
This week I begin a coast-to-coast book tour to share this special moment with all of you. Thank you, dear readers for your love and support. Without you, this book would not be possible.
JUNE 20
School’s out for summer and the beach traffic is booming again here on Isle of Palms, South Carolina, as the vacationers, day trippers, and locals alike flock to the beach. There are two things people always want to know when they visit this special beach town… where should I eat and what book should I read.
For food–I recommend Long Island Cafe and Sea Biscuit Cafe. There are many fun places to dine on the island, but these are my go-to spots!
In just a month, I hit road the for a coast-to-coast book tour to celebrate the June 20th release of BEACH HOUSE FOR RENT. Book tour is a favorite time of year for me because I get to meet all of you and hear your stories! I treasure our interactions and your support. One question readers frequently ask during book tour is “What inspired your novel?”.
Summer’s coming! That means migrating shorebirds, such as willets and red knots, plovers and sandpipers, are returning to the shores of my beloved beach, the Isle of Palms. And this year, their arrival also signals the arrival of my new novel, BEACH HOUSE FOR RENT.
This is the final book of my Beach House Series, which started many years after I moved to the Isle of Palms and fell in love with the majestic loggerhead sea turtle that calls this shoreline home every nesting season. It was the first time a species inspired my story line.
