In One Perfect Summer, three women who had never met—and seemed to share nothing but a DNA match—discovered they were sisters. Their search to uncover how and why brought them together and transformed strangers into family.

Now, in Pieces of Perfect, those bonds are tested, deepened, and celebrated as they continue to explore what it truly means to belong.

Pieces of Perfect is now exclusively available from Amazon. You can read it for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

When Alexa visited Iceland last November, she absolutely fell in love with the country’s breathtaking beauty—and now she’s sharing a few of her favorite discoveries with you!

This box will include an autographed hardcover of our November book group read—THE LADY ON ESPLANADE by Karen White—and Icelandic salt* from Íslensk Hollusta, a delicious toffee chocolate bar from Omnom, cute Nordic socks, a surprise item and a book to gift (to a friend or yourself) for Jólabókaflóð (a cherished tradition in Iceland where books are exchanged as Christmas gifts and then enjoyed by the recipients on Christmas Eve, often while cozying up with hot chocolate).

*You’ll receive one of four flavorful varieties:
Arctic Thyme Salt – perfect for bread and game
Sea Truffle Salt – enhances casseroles and fish
Viking Salt – a versatile favorite for all dishes
Wild Herb Salt – an excellent addition to potatoes and vegetables

Each captures the pure, untamed essence of Iceland—a sprinkle of flavor and a dash of adventure for your holiday table.

Of all the books I’ve written, this is the cover I was most eager to see—and my publisher did not disappoint. Isn’t the cover for MEET ME IN ITALY spectacular?

Last year, when we went for Alexa and Vinny’s wedding, we spent nearly a month in Italy—much of it on the Amalfi Coast—and I completely fell in love. The book is set in Praiano; I even included the very villa we stayed in. The view from San Gennaro Cathedral (Chiesa di San Gennaro), which sits in the heart of the village square in Vettica Maggiore, inspired the cover.

This year will mark the sixth in our bookish Christmas ornament series created by the same company that makes the official White House Collectible ornaments.
Our 2025 ornament will be this darling Bookmas design! Isn’t it adorable? And doesn’t it represent all of us booklovers at Christmastime? LOL.

🎄 You can get the ornament on its own here:
