December's Brenda Novak Book Box

Pieces of Perfect

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, a sequel novella to One Perfect Summer, is now exclusively available from Amazon (free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription).

Cover reveal for MEET ME IN ITALY

Cover reveal for MEET ME IN ITALY

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.

Brenda Novak Book Boxes

These have been a HUGE hit! What’s inside? That’s different every month, but I can tell you this much — they will contain a print copy of the book we are reading for that month (autographed by the author!) or a substitute book of mine (generally one that is hard to find), at least two of my favorite things and a surprise gift that you won’t know about until you receive the box. One random person each month will receive an even “bigger” mystery gift. We will announce the contents for the next box at the first of each month, and you will be able to order it then or the day after (providing they’re not all gone). Payment is due by the 7th of the month. The box ships three weeks later, on the first of the following month. We sell out every month, so grab yours early.
