Happy Capitally Unexpected Day
And hello Apollycon 2025!
What’s new with Rachel?
It’s the week where I did all the things!
✅ Returned to Virginia from Pennsylvania
✅ Thesis Novel submitted to Mentors
✅ Kick off Apollycon 2025
✅ Publish Capitally Unexpected!

Thank you so much to everyone who pre-ordered - I passed my stretch goal, which is amazing!
I’m so grateful to everyone who’s read an ARC, shared a post, liked one of my posts, or just stayed subscribed to this newsletter so I can tell you about things. I appreciate you more than I can.
I’m so thankful people are excited for this book. More than anything, this is a story about two people accepting they can be cared about for who they are and it’s okay to allow others to care for them. To quote Taylor Alison Swift, “And now the story isn’t mine anymore… it’s all yours.”

I’ll also be going live with @read.with.rach on Instagram at 8:30 PM ET! Come join us to celebrate the fun virtually!
Spotify Playlist
I know I’ve already shared it, but for release day, is there really any other option than the Playlist for Capitally Unexpected? It’ll be on repeat in our hotel room all weekend. (Sorry Kelly).
Where to See Rachel

Alright, I’m off to do whatever Kelly tells me to do, I can’t be trusted to make any more decisions this week.
Stay hydrated, call your Reps, and escape with a good book.
Romantically Yours,
Rachel
