celebrating one year of after all this time
wrap it up, volume two
Hey book bestie! Today, we’re celebrating one year of my debut romance novel, After All This Time. Let’s dive into this.
I cannot believe it’s been one year since After All This Time was released into the world. I wrote this book back in the summer of 2023 in a span of 4 months.
Ultimately, Noah and Dani’s story is a love letter to those of you out there who struggle with anxiety and/or panic attacks. Noah and Dani’s story will always be special to me as well as their characters. To this day, I’m still proud of what I wrote and published.
I remember gearing up for its release like it was yesterday. My anxiety was at an all-time high, and I was getting so burnt out. I went to dinner with my mom to celebrate the book’s release, and I felt the post-publishing depression crash into me like a giant ocean wave.
Here are some accomplishments we’ve achieved over the last year:
Over 100k KU page reads and over 150 paperback sales
Top 200 in the Small Town Romance eBooks category on Amazon
I was an attending author at the Cocoa Village Book Fest twice (last year and this year).
I went to my first book club as an author and talked about AATT with readers.
AATT is available to purchase in select indie bookstores.
Over 1k readers have added AATT to their Goodreads TBRs
A little over 70 readers preordered the AATT ebook
Sent out a little over 20 paperback preorders to readers
AATT has been included in a bunch of blog posts and Instagram posts by readers and fellow authors
With that being said, in honor of AATT’s 1st birthday, signed copies are $5 off in my online shop. No code necessary. The sale lasts until tomorrow, May 18th, so utilize the sale while you can.
