Lily is here once again! ✨👻 Everyone else ha Lily is here once again! ✨👻 Everyone else has left for swim lessons, and so at the end of a low-key and lovely pub day, I snapped a quick photo with a terrible background (it's where the light was good, okay?) and a very big smile to say thank you. ❤️ I am so grateful to everyone who preordered, made library requests, shared, posted, recommended, and so much more. Y'all are the best. ✨👻 I'm looking forward to seeing folks IN PERSON (still amazed by that) over the next two weeks. And stay tuned here: I'm going to have a giveaway pop up as soon as I can get myself organized to take photos for it! ✨👻 xoxoxox . . .

TOMORROW! Lily & Co. are going to be getting up to TOMORROW! Lily & Co. are going to be getting up to all sorts of (slightly haunted) shenanigans. I can't wait for you to read it. . . .

Somehow we’re just days away from the launch of Somehow we’re just days away from the launch of DEATH AT THE MANOR, so I’ve been wrapped up in articles and emails and interviews and all kinds of pub day prep. But this afternoon I met with a local writing group at a coffee shop for the first time in over two years. We had unwise afternoon coffees, gave each other feedback about narrative voice and character introductions, and ended up talking about work and parenting and bad choices we made as teenagers. So many bad choices made as teenagers. . . .

🎉 GIVEAWAY CLOSED 🎉 The third #LilyAdlerMyst 🎉 GIVEAWAY CLOSED 🎉 The third #LilyAdlerMystery is only WEEKS away from hitting bookshelves!

To enter: 🍂 Like and save this post 🍂 Follow @katharinewrites 🍂 Leave a comment telling me what you’re reading this summer!

Open internationally! 🍂 In some ways, learning to juggle two series has been like learning to parent two kids. Both of them could always use my attention, one of them is always keeping me awake when I’d rather be sleeping. But I love them both equally, and I’m so excited to share more Lily Adler with you! ❤️ . . .

Losing my voice from all the talking I’ve done i Losing my voice from all the talking I’ve done in the last week, but it was absolutely worth it for all the amazing people I got to talk with. Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate NIGHTINGALE’s pub week! I had the absolute best time with the absolute best readers and the absolute best friends. Going to be riding this high for a long time. ✨❤️✨ . . .
