Hello loves,
Welcome back to WATCH THIS SPACE, the BDS hot spot for all things Dot! As in See Dot Smile, my heart-squeezing debut novel from Empress Editions. đ
Your time is precious, so hereâs a quick show-and-tell of whatâs new!
Our girlâs got a date âŠ
With destiny? ⊠perhaps.
With bookstores and online retailers? ⊠for sure!
Friends, kindly mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 - LAUNCH DAY!
And stay tuned for pre-order updates as we head into the New Year!! đ„
⊠a badge of âcredibilityââŠ
And no, I do not believe a writer needs a book deal to be âcredible.â If that was the case, I would have had to admit to being an in-credible writer for the last ten years without one. đ
BUT - if this space is to be a scrapbook of my long dayâs journey into big girl publication, I must keep accurate account of my twinkly tiaras along the way.
This next little gem entered the world a few months ago, but I have yet to drop it here for posterity. Bling specimen like this are common in writing circles. Iâve seen hundreds of them proudly displayed on social media feeds over the years. Usually by total strangers. Occasionally by enviable friends.
But this one is special.
Because it has my name on it. đ€©
⊠and genuine praise from a romance connoisseur!
Behold! My first early reader âblurbââ
If you donât know who Beth Lisogorsky is, YOU NEED TO READ THIS —ïž
Iâve never met anyone who watches more, reads more, or gets to the heart of romantic stories more (or better) than Beth!
And if you donât know how ecstatic I was to have my writing described as âJudy Blume-like,â YOU NEED TO READ THIS —ïž
Thank you for indulging me in this celebratory toast! The party is just getting started, and Iâm so glad youâre here!
P.S. Did I ever mention how much I love answering questions? And how fond I am of prime numbers?
ICYMI, I was featured artist number 29 over at the CGQ (Curious George Questionnaire) earlier this week. If youâre curious about what keeps me curious (and creating!) be sure to check it out.
There are also cute pictures of my dog in there, which one commenter greatly appreciated. đŸ
Congratulations, Meg, on this beautiful moment đ. You're the first person I know that also likes prime numbers so I have to ask if you read 'The solitude of prime numbers' one of my all time favorite novels.
âš Break out the tiaras and the fancy snacksâSeptember 15th just became a national holiday in our calendar. đ„đ Hereâs to your big girl publication eraâmay the launch be loud, the readers devoted, and the bling continue to sparkle with your name. đđ«
Counting down with you! xoxo
