I’m so excited to show you the cover of my third book, Reggie and Delilah’s Year of Falling! Out January 31, 2023!!
Aren’t these two just perfect??
This magic was designed by Catherine Lee, with art direction by Jessie Gang. And Michelle Rosella D’Urbano has illustrated all of my beautiful covers. She plucks my characters right out of my brain and treats them with such care. I am just so so lucky to have these incredible artists on my team.
Here’s the official synopsis of REGGIE AND DELILAH’S YEAR OF FALLING:
From the NAACP Image Award–nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, who fall in love through missed connections and chance meetings on holidays over the course of a year.
Delilah always keeps her messy, gooey insides hidden behind a wall of shrugs and yeah, whatevers. She goes with the flow—which is how she ends up singing in her friends’ punk band as a favor, even though she’d prefer to hide at the merch table.
Reggie is a D&D Dungeon Master and self-declared Blerd. He spends his free time leading quests and writing essays critiquing the game under a pseudonym, keeping it all under wraps from his disapproving family.
These two, who have practically nothing in common, meet for the first time on New Year’s Eve. And then again on Valentine’s Day. And then again on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s almost like the universe is pushing them together for a reason.
Delilah wishes she were more like Reggie—open about what she likes and who she is, even if it’s not cool. Except . . . it’s all a front. Reggie is just role-playing someone confident. The kind of guy who could be with a girl like Delilah.
As their holiday meetings continue, the two begin to fall for each other. But what happens once they realize they’ve each fallen for a version of the other that doesn’t really exist?
And I can tell you it’s got:
– Black love
– Holiday magic
– Dual-POV mutual pining
– A cloud giant NPC named Slarog
– There’s only one bed
– Swifties!
– Chronic migraine and dyslexia representation
I’m so proud of this book and I can’t wait to share it with you in January. Until then you can preorder Reggie and Delilah’s Year of Falling wherever books are sold, request it at your library, or add it on Goodreads!
Book 3…man, I really can’t believe it. Thank you for helping me get here. I love you ❤️
