- Really! Announcing the upcoming Daughter of Montague title! Honest!
At last! I can reveal the title for the second Daughter of Montague title!
Wait for it…
No, really, I mean, wait for it. I’ll reveal it in the last segment. Of course, you could skip all the stuff between. I suppose that depends on whether you’re a person who reads the last page of a book before you start it.
Mrs. Williamson, my first grade teacher, would not approve. 😉
For you: Historical Fiction Recommendations
Author and historian C.P. Lesley is famous for her historical fiction and for hosting New Books in Historical Fiction, a channel on the New Books Network. I’m thrilled that she included A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA on her Fall 2024 Bookshelf along with the upcoming, fun and fabulous MURDER IN HIGHBURY by Vanessa Kelly. Wallet warning: The list could cost you! 😁
C.P. Lesley loved A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA so much, she interviewed me for her podcast on New Books Network. Listen here!
LOL Review!
“A fun and interesting take on the classic characters without all the tragic death. This is told in modern language, and I enjoyed the witty banter and sweet relationships in this family. Also. If you don’t think Shakespeare would have appreciated a fart joke…” — Reader Ash, GoodReads review of A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA
I’m still laughing. When you’re on GoodReads, send a friend request, and thank you for each and every review, on any and all online sites or in person to your friends.
What’s that? Oh, the title!
The title of the second Daughter of Montague series is…
I know. I love it, too! THUS WITH A KISS I DIE takes off where A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA leaves off, continuing Rosie’s story while presenting her with a new mystery to solve. Of course, she remains your typical 20-year-old smart mouth early Renaissance female, living with her celebrity parents, Romeo and Juliet, while caring for her siblings and now presented with a new challenge — organizing her own upcoming and reluctant (on her part) wedding.
THUS WITH A KISS I DIE will be in your hands on June 24, 2025. You can read all about it — the copy and excerpt, and you can pre-order from online outlets and independent bookstores (links are going up as we speak!) Of course, I’ll always let you know about book signings and where you can order autographed copies.
Finally…no, I’m not holding out on you about the cover. I haven’t seen it either, and I’m expiring with curiosity! Hopefully, I’ll be back with another gorgeous, innovative cover very soon.
Until next time, happy reading!
