Hey there happy reader!
I’m not the only writer in the family. My daughter-in-law, Alix, is much more talented than me!
She’s written screenplays (her latest has been acquired by Jason Bateman’s production company) and a book of essays about women and their relationship with their fathers.
She also made quite the name for herself on TikTok during Covid when she recreated scenes from “Sex and the City” featuring her cat Fred playing the role of “Kim Catrall!” (The real actress reached out to say how much she loved seeing herself portrayed by this gentle giant of a furball, btw.)
Currently, Alix sits high atop Substack’s list of comedy writers… I’m not sure why they placed her there as her writing is often poignant and personal, but algorithms baffle me anyway!
Oh, and if all that wasn’t enough, she just received her master’s degree in clinical psychology. AMAZING! You should follow her…
Here’s this week’s piece about why she believes that my grandson may be psychic.
It’s guaranteed to brighten your day…
As for me, Vinci reached out this week to let me know that the first three books in my “The Seasons of Us” series have been bought by an audiobook production company and will be available as audio books by early next year!
It’s an incredible opportunity for me – to hear my characters come to life will be a thrill, I’m sure of it. Plus, they could have chosen from a broad range of Vinci titles, but they picked mine… I couldn’t be more excited if I tried!
I was lucky to be up on the Cape last week, the setting of my series.
The paperback version of this five-book series will be available on September 8th – the eBooks are already for sale on Amazon – and the covers look great.
In case you haven’t seen them yet, here they are:
Now I’m just waiting for the cover of “From Below the Horizon” to cross my desk. As soon as it does, I’ll post it here first!
I am anxious to get this book about the women of Stonehenge to you… it will be available for pre-order starting on September 23rd, with the eBook publication date set for October 7th. My advance readers are loving it. One even told me she teared up at the end!!! I think you’ll find that this title was worth the wait…
Summer is flying by. (Did anyone else see Halloween decorations at Costco?!?) It’s time to grab a book and get outside while the sun is shining.
And just in case you need a free title, Vinci is offering these below, available for immediate download!
Enjoy! And as always, let me know what you think!
xoxo,
Hilari
