Six Months of Carry Me Through Christmas

Time is a tricky minx

Hi Romantic Rambler!

Oh my goodness, how time absolutely flies! I’m sitting here, counting down the hours until Taylor takes the stage in Philly Friday night, and that seems farther away than November 10, 2022, aka the day I officially became a published author. I’m so thankful for every single reader who spent part of their holidays in Holly Ridge with Blaire, Cole, and the rest of their magical town. And for everyone who has shared this book, continues to recommend it as a suggestion for the “Only One Bed” trope (looking at you Joyful Chaos chat) and continues to ask what’s up next, I’ll be eternally grateful.

Thanks to @checkyourshelves, @transportedfll, @ilashreads, @mybookandplannernook, @readingwithfeelings and @readwithemilygrace for just a sampling of the AMAZING photos featuring Carry Me Through Christmas

So What’s Next?

Well, in terms of Blaire, Cole, and their HEA, I’ll have an extended epilogue right here, in my newsletter for all subscribers sometime in June (though if you want to wait until Christmas in July to read it, I’ll understand.). I’m going to be making a big Christmas in July push to try and get these fools on some new Kindles and onto some new shelves, so keep an eye out for fun in the near future!

I’m working on Charlotte’s story—yes, I love her just as much as many of you do— and plan to have that to you this Fall! Charlotte’s story kicks off my Brandt Brothers series; her hero is Hayden, the first Brandt Brother you’ll meet and hopefully love just as much as we love our favorite BFF. If all goes according to plan, you’ll meet the second Brandt Brother sooner rather than later too.. 😉😉

If you missed it, I shared an unedited teaser from C&H’s book back in April- check it out here!

Did Someone Say Prank War?

There may or may not be a prank war brewing between Charlotte and Hayden - being an only child, this is not necessarily my strong suit, so I need your help. Click below to vote what pranks should be included!

Wanna Say Hi?

I’m so excited to be participating in my first ever signing event in April 2024 at Readers Take Denver as a Rising Star Author. This is part of the reason I’m working so fast and furious on getting these Brandt Brothers into your lives - plus I miss connecting with new readers, so I’m amped to put something out into the world that’s more evergreen (ha!) than my beloved Christmas romance.

Stay tuned for more signing updates for 2024! 👀👀

That’s it for now! I hope to be back with semi-regular updates when I can, even if it’s just as mundane as to share cat pics or what book (craft or otherwise) I’m reading right now. I hope you’ll stick around, tell your friends, and enjoy these romantic ramblings.

Xoxo,

Rachel

Me and Blondie - see ya Friday, bestie!
