Pre-order Rich Girl Summer
Rich Girl Summer is available for pre-order! The audio version is exclusive on Audible and stars real-life couple Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale, which I think is the cutest thing ever.
Set in cottage country (a beautiful lake area north of Toronto), Rich Girl Summer is about a memorial planner who agrees to play the role of long-lost daughter to help a client unearth an old family secret, and gets romantically entangled with the client’s intimidatingly aloof right-hand man. You can read more here, and pre-order so it arrives in your Audible library on July 10!
Drop Dead is out in print
I am biased, but I think this is a great pick for anyone looking for a summer read. You can get it wherever you buy your books.
The Library of Flowers
The Library of Flowers is a bit of a shift from my usual romance, but I loved writing it. It’s coming out in summer 2026 (finally), under the pen name L.C. Chu. I now have the official blurb for you! You can find it on my website. I’ll announce the pre-orders as soon as I know.
Some more news
Congratulations to Charlene, whose signed copy of Drop Dead is in the mail! She’s the winner of last month’s draw, and thank you everyone who entered.
I have been chained to my laptop, but taking great joy in watching these two livestreams on my breaks. One is birds (just saw a red-bellied woodpecker) and one is an underwater reef (at last check, soothing ocean stuff, but no fish).
In writing deadline news: my next rom-com is due next week, and then I’ll be working on the edits for my YA and some proposals for upcoming projects. It’s a busy summer, which I’m grateful for!
Talk to you soon,
Lily
