Thanks for answering my questions! That is exciting that you have two new books! And equally exciting news that your middle name is Jane! Last question....(promise!). Will either of your two new books be available on audio? I did a quick search and was not seeing either title.

If I remember, I'll send you a message here when it comes out. On the one coming in September....who knows...we wait and see if we get an offer. Hopefully yes.(less)

No need to apologize and thanks for taking the time to answer my question. 😍😍😍 I hope that the audio version will be created and released sooner rather than later. Is "Love on the Line" your newest book or do you have another book that is scheduled to be released?

i never left (original name — I am Quinn

Shortly after releasing my debut novel, I am Quinn, my publisher made a title change, it is now called —
—"I Never Left".

All the reviews you see on Goodreads are for the same book, it's exactly the same only now with a different title. Sorry if this caused any confusion. Everyone thought the new title better reflected the storyline.

The Second Honeymoon by McGarvey Black
"While this book's plot wasn't perfect, it was definitely an addicting read as long as you keep a healthy dose of suspended disbelief 😂

The revenge? The villains? The secrets and lies? Chef's kiss 💋🤌"
