A New Look for The Last Words Series

A New Look for The Last Words Series

You may have heard me mention a new look and feel for the Last Words Series in my reader group on Facebook, but if not, this is what I posted last week:


This news is pretty big in my world, and I’ve debated how to share the information. I’ve been worried what you, my loyal readers, might think or say, and I’ve been very emotional over an incredible opportunity that comes along with a big change for me and some of my books.


The publisher I have been working with over the past year has acquired rights to Last Words, The Other Blue Sky, Unspoken Words, and Last One Home. The stories themselves will not be changing (which is the most important part to me). However, they are going to be giving the books new covers and titles while keeping the series name “Last Words” for the first three.


I made this decision after watching the expansive international reach the publisher has. As of right now, The Bookseller of Dachau is being translated into 8 different languages across the world. For the opportunity to reach more readers, I’m thrilled with the acquisition and can’t wait to share the stories with even more people.


My hope is that you see this as an opportunity of growth, and nothing more. These books mean the world to me for so many reasons, and I’m grateful for the help Bookouture/Hachette is offering me to help them grow even more.


This changeover will be happening over the next couple of weeks, so I wanted to make sure I made a post about it now in case anyone wants to snag the original covers before they are changed. The titles will be changing at some point between tomorrow night and Friday, and the new covers will be up in the coming weeks.


Even after all of this, I still have more exciting news coming soon!

If you have any questions, please let me know.


Most importantly, thank you for always supporting me with every move I make throughout this journey. It means more to me than I could ever put into words.
