New Release in Clean Romance!

TODAY IS THE DAY! (Well, actually yesterday was the day). A Friend in Paris is finally available for sale, and I’ve launched the book at the low price of .99 for kindle (for the first three weeks), $10.99 for paperback, and – as always – it’s free on Kindle Unlimited. If you’ve missed the earlier announcements, here is the summary.

Friendship between a talented young artist and her handsome French neighbor is a promising start—until it’s not enough.

April promised her dying father she would study painting in Paris, but friends are few, her budget is tight, and her landlord increasingly won’t take “no” for an answer. Then she meets Victor.

Victor is as chivalrous as he is wealthy, and if it weren’t for him, April would have already left the City of Light behind. Too bad Victor still has eyes for his ex-girlfriend, who is now back on the scene and wants to get married.

Although April and Victor swore to remain just friends, magical Paris seems to weave a different spell. The more their connection deepens, the more it becomes difficult to keep a proper distance. Or to remember why they should.

I’m really excited about this book. It was fun to write, and I loved both of the main characters and the team of supporting characters. I also feel like I came into my own as a writer with this one with a faster moving plot and more snappy dialogue.

Besides the exciting new launch, I’ve been really busy doing final edits on my Regency novel, which will be published by Cedar Fort in March. It’s just bad luck that the two projects happened to coincide. My house is pretty messy right now, and you’ve probably noticed that I’ve missed two weeks worth of blog posts. After I submit the final version early next week, I’ll take a few weeks off before beginning anything new.

Yesterday, a friend invited me for a belated birthday lunch at her place. She could tell I was counting the cost on what it would mean to give up precious writing hours for the time it would take to attend (ungrateful wretch that I am). She said, “Jennie, you need to come to this.” She knows that sometimes, in my weakness, I would prefer to write about life than actually live it.

So I went. And it was a surprise birthday party for me with friends coming from the four corners of Paris to encourage me. This, right in the middle of a busy work week. They sat me in a massage chair while I opened my gifts. They read their cards to me and fed me an entirely gluten-free lunch.

So I celebrated my book launch in style, feeling humbled by this show of love. And living life, for once … instead of just writing about it.
