A bit different column this week, but it turns out that when you write a column that posts every two weeks, a lot can change in the world from one column to the next.
In the past couple of weeks the number of cases of COVID-19 has exploded, and most of us around the world are part of a government-imposed lockdown or socially isolating pursuant to expert and local authorities’ suggestion. As a writer and an introvert, I’m used to being hidden away in my cave, but that doesn’t mean it’s a cakewalk, and it’s definitely not easy for so, so many people (like my sixteen year old, who desperately wants to hang with her friends).
She gets it, though. And I’m so proud of her for understanding that social isolation helps protect everyone.
One thing that is particular hard to deal with is the feeling of not being able to do anything. And on March 15 four award winning and bestselling author friends and I decided to put together a book bundle with the goal of giving readers something comforting — guaranteed HEAs!—to snuggle up with while socially isolating.
So me, Darcy Burke, Dee Davis, Rachel Grant, and Elisabeth Naughton all included a full-length novel in the bundle.
