I hope one of these books (and a signed bookplate!) makes your holiday season a little brighter. Thank you for all your support—you mean the world to me!

And now for that update I promised, I’m currently finishing up edits for Book #7 which does have a title but I’m not allowed to share it yet. It fits in perfectly with my other books though.

We’ve already started talking about the cover (I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorites), and I’m so excited for you guys to read a sun-soaked summer story full of:

Cute grumpy boys
Determined vintage-loving girls
Solving a historical mystery
Heartbreak
First kisses
And even a mermaid or two…

We have to wait a bit since it’s not out until early 2026, but I’ve got a couple of other projects in the works that I hope to share news about soon.

Lastly, I have a request: Can you send me any recommendations for Christmas/winter books or movies that you love? Just reply to this email!

Get your copy of EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY today wherever books are sold!
It’s available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

If you read EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY would you please take a minute and leave me a review on Amazon and Goodreads? It can literally be a single sentence but it helps me so much! As soon as I hit fifty reviews, Amazon will start recommending the book to more users and that can sometimes mean the difference between an author getting to write more books or not.

Tonight is the book launch event for EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY! Please come join me and Kara McDowell (author of THE PRINCE AND THE APOCALYPSE) tonight at 6:30 pm at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ. All the event details are HERE.

My YA thriller, GIRL ON THE RUN, is a Kindle Daily Deal!!!!!! This is huge for an author and I was so excited when my publisher told me. What this means is that for one day only (October 20th) you can buy the ebook for only $1.99! And this price should be the same across all retailers, not just Amazon!

If you missed this one when it was first published, now is the time to get it. Honestly, I love this book. It came out in the middle of the pandemic lockdown and I feel like it never got the chance to succeed. It’s super fast-paced (as in I dare you to read the first few pages and not have to know what happens next. Don’t believe me? Read it here). Kirkus Reviews described it as, “Fast and intense, this is a galloping thriller with something extra for romantics.”

Here’s the full description:

DESCRIPTION

A fast-paced thriller about a girl who discovers that her mother might not be who she says she is . . . and now someone is hunting them both.

Katelyn wants the best for her widowed mom. Surprising her with an online dating profile seems like a good idea.

It isn’t. Katelyn’s mom hasn’t just been acting overprotective all these years–she’s been hiding something. And now that anyone can find them online, Katelyn is in a desperate race against time to uncover the secrets of the past–not only her mom’s, but also her own.

As Katelyn’s world unravels, she begins to trust the guy who brought this nightmare to her door and to doubt the one person she never thought she would. Because her mom has been hiding for a reason: she’s been waiting.

I’m sharing the full “Dear Reader” letter included in EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY. This was originally only going to be included in the ARCs, but I’m so thankful that my publisher suggested adding it into the finished copies as well. If you have already seen the ARC, you may have read this, but for everyone else, here is the full author note below:

Dear Reader,

When I first started my publishing journey, a lot of sweet friends and readers of all abilities asked me if I’d ever write a book about a character like me, a wheelchair user, and to say the idea terrified me is an understatement. For a long time the answer was always no, a pretty, polite no, but a no all the same. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t think I could. There is often a lot of grief and heartache associated with disability, and I wasn’t sure I could bare to look as deeply into that mirror as I knew I’d have to.

Over the years I did try. I’d start and stop and start again and never let myself go there. Until one day I thought of Rebecca. And Ethan. And this very broken but beautiful love story. And I couldn’t let it go, or rather it wouldn’t let me go.

So I tried again.

It did hurt.

With Every Time You Go Away, I wasn’t just imagining a character and how different experiences would have shaped them. I have lived with a spinal cord injury, paralysis, and becoming a wheelchair user since I was seventeen. That’s not to say that Rebecca’s story is anything like my own—it’s not (please hear that if nothing else)—but I am intimately acquainted with the emotions that come with those particular realities.

But writing this book also healed.

Because like me, Rebecca’s (and Ethan’s) story isn’t about disability. It’s about love and loss, joy and grief, struggle and success, guilt and forgiveness, and a million other things that people all over the world experience every day. More than that, this book gave me an opportunity to portray the lives of people living with disability in ways they might not often get to see, ways that I see, and ways that are wonderful and full and rich. And hopeful.

There was a time in my life early on after I became paralyzed when I felt like I was just running out the clock, putting in my time and waiting, even longing, for the day when it could be over. It was hard to let go of the life I thought I’d have and to see the goals I had set for myself as possible or even to try to set new ones when I was reminded daily how much I’d lost. It’s still hard, but like Amelia says, you can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore to be happy. That’s easier said than done, but the end? When you get there? When hard isn’t easy, but you’ve discovered all the new reasons to smile?

That’s a beautiful thing.

So to all the friends, to all the other wheelies and readers who’ve asked or just wondered if I’ll ever?

Rebecca and Ethan’s story is for you.

With love,

Abigail
