Dear Readers & Friends,

Changes are coming!

THE BOOK LOVER, my much anticipated 3^rd novel, will be hitting bookstores on May 1, 2012! That’s just in time for Mother’s Day and summer reading. So many of you have been asking, and I’m so happy to finally share this good news.

COMING MAY 1ST 2012!

THE BOOK LOVER is unlike anything you’ve read. It’s an honest look at the book world--all of the intrigue, romance, and struggles of those who are passionate about books. You are going to love it!

Also, my new website will be up and running within a few months, with lots more information about my books, and my public speaking availability. In addition, I’m launching a new venture—I’m officially becoming a Writing Coach. This is something I’ve done occasionally for friends and relatives, but now it will be available to any aspiring writers out there.

Those of you who have been here before know that I am a writer who refused to give up on her dream. After 5 years of rejection, I originally self-published THE RICHEST SEASON in 2006. Within 6 months it sold so many copies and garnered such great reviews that I signed with a top literary agent who sold it at auction to Hyperion Books, as well as my second novel, SO HAPPY TOGETHER. Both are Indie Next Picks and have been translated into multiple languages.

I’m no stranger to uphill battles and persevering when you believe strongly in something. My new challenge is to make THE BOOK LOVER my best selling novel to date.

For all of you who have spread the word about my novels, thank you! But keep talking, to friends, book clubs, and booksellers who may not have read my novels yet. After all, a writer’s most cherished dream is simply to be read.

All my best wishes!

Maryann
