OH man I loved this piece, Liz!!!!! IYKYK!!!! Widow was started in 2017 too!! Another coincidence--along with the MANY rejections and revisions before it finally made it onto bookshelves. You are fearless (and wildly talented), so I have no doubts this new book of yours will be as excellent a read as all the other books you've written. I am, and always will be, a HUGE fan. Good luck, girl. You've got this.

Thank you so much, my friend! Your keyboard to God’s ears, as they say 😂 there’s definitely an element of down-to-the-wire panic-editing happening here! I can’t wait for your next one!!!

Thanks so much, Julie! I'm beginning to think I'm much better suited to fictional murder than fictional romance :)

Thank you for sharing all this! I'm not happy about your frustrations but I'm happy I'm not the only one, you know? (I really enjoyed The House on Cold Creek Lane - brava!!)

Wow, Liz, what a journey! Crossing my fingers for you that you’re in the homestretch. I’m sure it’s amazing! Coming from a person who gives up very easily, seriously impressed at how you were able to stick with it and see it through. Can’t wait to read!

Hi Andrew! Thank you so much! Sometimes I wonder if it's a study in tenacity, a way to escape cleaning my basement, or maybe I've just finally lost it :) I loved LOVE'S A DISASTER and was just thinking about the peacock the other day! Hope you're working on a new one!
