Hello lovely reader,

July always feels like the halfway point in the year—a chance to pause, catch our breath, and look ahead.

I've been spending my days deep in the world of Emerald Harbour, surrounded by characters who refuse to behave, stories that keep surprising me, and far too many cups of tea.

Behind the scenes, I'm working on several new novels, polishing manuscripts, designing covers, and preparing future releases. Every book is getting the same care I hope you notice when you turn that first page.

What's coming...

✨ New book announcements
✨ Cover reveals
✨ Sneak peeks from works in progress
✨ More stories set in Ireland and beyond
✨ A few surprises I can't share just yet...

I'd love your help

Book recommendation of the month

If you've recently finished one of my books, I'd be incredibly grateful if you left a review. Even a sentence or two helps other readers discover my stories.

Thank you for being part of Emerald Harbour. Whether you've read one book or twenty, I'm so glad you're here.

Until next time...

Put the kettle on.

With love,

Laura Carpenter
