Happy release day to TIME AND TIDE!
This little book has gone on quite the journey!
I began writing it in 2010-2011, under the title "First Impressions". It was intended to be the sophomore follow-up to my debut novel, but it didn't land with my first, nor my second agent. After two more title changes and nearly a decade of dabbling with edits, a fortuitous stint on Wattpad, and the utterly unforeseen but gratifying Watty Award win, I was stunned and delighted when W by Wattpad Books reached out to inquire about the rights on the book.
Working with this publishing team has been, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable experiences of my writing career. I cannot thank them all deeply and earnestly enough for all the hard work they've put into my story.
Years ago, one of closest friends called this story my "airport book", maintaining that this would be the one that was going to be mainstream and accessible enough for the wider reading public. And it turns out she was right!
As of today, TIME AND TIDE is now available anywhere books are sold, including the Hudson Booksellers in most major American airports.
It is quite literally a dream come true.
