The first Barnes & Noble I walked into after my book release had HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM right on the front “best in romance 2024” table! I SQUEALED. A woman came over and said, “Oh, that’s on my TBR!” So she bought a signed copy!

Photo reposted from the wonderful romance author @sonali.dev, who I was delighted to meet! I was on the WBEZ radio station in Chicago, on their talk show called Reset, talking about romance novels and a bit of politics. It was a little intimidating to sit down in this studio and go live, but I loved hearing what Sonali and Jen Prokop (of the famous podcast for romance readers, Fated Mates) had to say. I hope I did okay! The segment is up on the radio station’s website—give it a listen!
I’m a full-time freelance book editor at LuckyAuthor.com, and these are questions I keep in mind when I’m editing a romance novel (or any book with a subplot!) If you’re a writer, I hope they help you too.
My book release party / signing event was so much fun! So grateful to @berkleyromance, to @lovessweetarrow (an all romance bookstore in the Chicago area), to my family, and to all the wonderful romance readers and friends who came. THANK YOU to everyone who’s already bought, reviewed, and/or posted about the book. I appreciate you all!
