SWEET HOME IS NOW A SERIES!!!
Hey, guys!
Today marks an exciting day for me as an author, and hopefully for you, as my fantabulous readers. Not only is Sweet Home still an Amazon and USA Today Best Seller, but I can now reveal that it is now, officially, the first book in a four part series!
*imagine party poppers popping and champagne bottles spraying* ;)
Before I get into the details of the series and what characters will be further explored, I just wanted to let you in on why this a huge deal to me.
I am not one to share my personal life with people or talk about any troubles that I/or my family are going through--because everyone has problems and troubles in their lives, right? But, the success and mind-blowing response to Sweet Home has encouraged me to share why the last month has been so special to those closest to me.
My family's 2013 started off poorly, and unfortunately kept spiralling downwards from there. We have been plagued by terminal illnesses and unfortunately, some very dear losses that have left gaping holes in my family's lives. Writing was an outlet for me, a way to escape and after reading some of my works, my friends encouraged me to share my stories with you all. I had no expectations, and thought that if only a few people read my books and liked them, then that would be just fantastic! But, I never for a moment dreamed that one of my novels would top the ebook charts or earn a place on prestigious and respected literary lists.
To put it plainly, a very shitty (excuse my french!) and emotional 2013--in a bizarre and unexpected twist--turned into a dream come true. There is only one reason for this, and that is because of you, the readers, and the many bloggers who devoted their time to read and pimp out my book, or organise blog tours and help put Sweet Home on the map.
When I wrote Sweet Home, I intended it to be a stand alone novel. A novel without a cliffhanger, a novel that was a modern day fairy-tale and a novel that people could escape real life for a while, and hopefully fall in love with all the characters.
As in all literature, my book was not for everyone, but for more than I could ever imagine, it was embraced and praised, gaining a dedicated following of those who fell in love with Molly and Rome and who contacted me asking for more; more of their life, asking if they had children? Asking what happened to the other characters? Asking for more and more and more!
Well, I listened and putting all other projects on hold, I have planned out a series that I hope you will all love just as much as Sweet Home. This would never have happened if it wasn't for the persistence of my readers, and for that, I cannot express how much that means to me.
So, putting the mush aside and without further ado, I give you the Sweet Home series:
Sweet Home (Sweet Home 1) -- Molly's PoV. Available now.
Sweet Rome (Sweet Home 2) -- Rome's PoV, with more of Mol and Rome's life after college. Tentative release--early 2014.
Sweet Fall (Sweet Home 3) -- Austin and Lexi's story. Mixed PoV's. Spring 2014.
Untitled (Sweet Home 4) -- Ally's story. Mixed PoV's. Summer 2014.
Alongside the Sweet Home series, I will have other novels being released, and I'll hopefully get the opportunity to meet some of my readers along the way!
Stay tuned to my social media, Goodreads and my blog for further updates and teasers, and the HUGELY exciting cover reveal of Sweet Rome at the end of this month.
I hope you guys are as excited about this as I am, and I can't wait for you all to read what I have in store!

Say Hi!
Hey all!
Just wanted to post a quick blog to say thanks to all that have read, loved and spread the word on 'Eternally North'.
A huge thanks needs to go to from me to Smitten's Book Blog. Due to your awesome review, many people have heard of my novel in the last few days and you've single handedly helped people fall in love with the Four T's! You're totes amazeballs!
As an indie author, bloggers are fantastic in helping us selfies, who are trying on our own to carve out a career from our writing. I'm toasting to all you guys right now with a Jagerbomb... No seriously... I'll find any excuse... Hehe!
Hopefully more bloggers will love Eternally North too in the coming months and I am happy to say that after finishing editing my debut Mature New Adult today, I am starting Eternally North: In His World, tonight.
I'm already laughing at the quips I've got planned for Tink!
Please follow me on Facebook: Tillie Cole Author and Twitter: tillie_cole.
My website is almost complete and I'll post when it goes live.
Until then.
Over and out, sprouts!

Howdy folks!
Hey all!
Well, this is my first post on my Goodreads Blog -- whoop, whoop *cue booty shuffle*
I am an indie author from the UK and my first novel, 'Eternally North' -- a chick-lit comedy, is out on Monday 6th May on Amazon.
Let me know what you think!
It's all a bit daunting, putting your writing out there for the world to see, but really exciting at the same time. Let's hope it all goes as planned!
