Hello, everyone!
I have some news, my peeps: I will be changing publishers.
My publisher for Calmer Girls, a small press in the U.S. which has been in business for five years, is closing its doors at the end of August. It was sudden news that leaves me (and all of its other authors) facing new decisions, transitions, and a fresh start.
But it’s okay! This sort of thing is not uncommon these days because of continuing changes in the publishing industry. This even includes the big presses. Who knows, it may turn out to be – dare I say it? – a blessing in disguise for some. With all rights, files and cover art, etc. now reverted back to me, I may even decide to self-publish. Why should hubs be the only one who runs a business in this house?
That said, I’m currently weighing all options while my third reader is plowing through the sequel to Calmer Girls, Calmer Secrets. Don’t you worry, dear Calmer readers, because one way or another you will soon be reading that sequel too!
As for those who want to but haven’t had a chance to read the first book of the two-title series, there will be a short delay before it becomes available again for purchase on Amazon and Indigo. In the meantime, I still have a small supply on hand which includes those already ordered directly from me, and Norton’s Cove Studio is carrying them as well.
Many thanks to all of you for your support, readership, and for everything you’ve done so far. I hope you will continue to support me and my work as it is incredibly important to me. I will post updates, and the moment I have more info on my novels, I will make it available here and on my Facebook Author page.
Plot twist and move on!

I love your attitude, Jennifer. I think I’d be much more frantic! I am eager to hear how you resolve this new twist, partly for selfish reasons: I am a Calmer reader!

Bless you, Jacqui. For a day or two I felt the punch in the gut, but no more. You will get your sequel. Onward and upward!

Yes, I see if you don’t want email notification there is the error. I suppose where it is new they haven’t worked out all the bugs yet. I will send them a note. Thanks!
