Yesterday, author Boo Walker revealed the cover for his upcoming book, An Echo in Time! He has worked extremely hard on this novel and I feel honored to have been able to contribute a few ideas as a beta reader and give feedback on cover prototypes. I’m thrilled with how beautiful the cover turned out! It reflects the story perfectly.
An Echo in Time will be released on August 20th of this year. You can preorder it now on Amazon (the ebook is only $4.99) and it will be available on Kindle Unlimited if you are a subscriber. For those who are signed up on NetGalley, the arcs should be there some time in April.
This has been a fascinating journey for me as a first-time beta reader, and I could not be more fortunate to work with an author who is so generous, encouraging, and open to ideas. I’m aware of at least three other projects he’s currently working on, one of which I hope to see in a few short weeks.
I will have more updates on An Echo in Time in the future, so stay tuned!
As part of Mimi Matthews’ launch team, I get to share her cover reveal for the next book in the Somerset Series! Appointment in Bath will be available June 27, 2023.
Besides being one of the sweetest women ever, Mimi’s books have been a wonderful discovery in my literary journey. There’s swashbuckling adventure, romance, intrigue, fun, and fantastic characters. I’ve read 7 of her books now and have enjoyed every one.
While you wait for Appointment in Bath to release, I encourage you to read others in the series. Each of them is a delight!

UPDATE 2/25/23: The synopsis has been released on Amazon!
Haunted by a tragic decision he made twenty years ago, veterinarian Dr. Carver Livingston has not once returned to his Vermont hometown. Now his parents’ impending divorce and his mother’s plea for support lure Carver to a reluctant homecoming. His mission: sweep into Teterbury, save a marriage, and get out before anyone else from his past knows he was even there. Fate has other plans.
It’s hard to hide from former friends. Harder still to fight old feelings for the crushing and beautiful high school soulmate whom he dreams of pursuing again. And Mrs. Cartwright, his fragile English teacher, who once pulled Carver out of sadness. She taught him to always look up and to see life’s grander perspective in the stars. Now it’s Carver’s turn to help Mrs. Cartwright find those bright lights in the dark.
Against his need to leave, Carver decides to stay longer, as he, his mother and father, and Mrs. Cartwright are all at turning points in their lives. Hope is not lost. If they look up, they’ll see that tonight, the stars still shine.
SYNOPSIS:From USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews comes the long-awaited sequel to her critically acclaimed novels The Work of Art and Gentleman Jim.
The only son of a famous love match, ex-army lieutenant Charles Heywood is determined to make amends for his past mistakes by giving his mother the impossible—the deed to her long-lost childhood home, Satterthwaite Court. But arranging to purchase the remote west country estate is more difficult than Charles ever imagined. The property is mired in secrets, some of which may prove deadly. If he’s going to unravel them, he’ll need the assistance of someone as daring as he is.
At one and twenty, Lady Katherine Beresford has already earned a reputation to rival that of her infamous parents. As skilled with pistols as she is on horseback, she’s never met an obstacle she can’t surmount—or a man she can’t win. That is, until she encounters the infuriatingly somber Lieutenant Heywood. But Kate refuses to be deterred by the raven-haired soldier’s strong, silent facade. After all, faint heart never won a handsome gentleman.
From the wilds of rural Somersetshire to the glittering ballrooms of early-Victorian London, Charles and Kate embark on a cross-country quest to solve a decades’ old mystery. Will the greatest danger be to their hearts—or to their lives?
*****
Thank you to Mimi Matthews for choosing me to be part of the team to reveal the cover to next year’s book!
Books 1 and 2 of the series are some of my favorites! And now the children of these beloved characters will have a story of their very own in Return to Satterthwaite Court!
If you’re new to the historical romance genre, this series is where you want to start. Plenty of swashbuckling good fun too!
