Scramble, Scramble, Scramble

Hello friends. Please forgive the brief post today. I’m down to one week to get a draft of my December 2023 release to my Beta readers on November 1st, so I’m scrambling here! (I’m sorry if you thought the title of this post related to the game Scramble, which I LOVE. I don’t get to play often but do enjoy a few rounds of Words with Friends while I eat my lunch. )

For now, I thought I’d share with you two fun updates about The Sisters of Sea View, Book One in my new series, On Devonshire Shores, which releases in just six weeks on December 6, 2022:

1. The book has received a starred review from the influential trade publication, Publishers Weekly. As my author-friends here know, that’s a big “Whew!” and I’m thankful!

Jane Austen fans will delight in this nimble series launch. Klassen excels at weaving her various story lines, each emphasizing the colorful qualities of her characters…Readers will be eager for the next installment.”

—Publishers Weekly (about The Sisters of Sea View)

2. We have scheduled the book release party for the new book for Tuesday, December 6th, at 7 pm at the Barnes and Noble in Har Mar Mall, Roseville, MN (details here).

If you live anywhere near St. Paul, Minnesota, I would love to see you there!  If that’s too far to travel, I hope you have (or will!) pre-order the new book from your favorite retailer.

In the meantime, I have an interesting guest blogger set to post in two weeks, which is something to look forward to. Otherwise, that’s all for now. I hope you have a great day!
