We are approaching a high point in the romancelandia calendar: Valentine’s Day. We usually celebrate it not with flowers and candy, but by rolling our eyes at terrible romance novel think pieces in the media. Except this year, I have something else in mind–at least for my newsletter subscribers.
In the fall, I asked what bonus story you wanted about the characters from Bad Reputation. I expected to hear the Cole and Maggie proposal or some glimpses into Tasha and Ryan’s love story. But literally everyone who emailed me asked for the same thing: more Libby Hansen. And y’all, I have so much to say about Libby. Approximately 15K words, in point of fact.
If you aren’t subscribed to my newsletter, fix that post haste (you can sign up here). And on Friday, I’ll pop into your inbox with a link where you can download Double Take, a novelette about what happens when the entertainment journalists from Bad Reputation, Libby and Jack, spend a week together in a holiday cottage in Inverness interviewing the Waverley cast.
I’ve had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope it’ll brighten your Valentine’s Day.
