Get the free prequel to my romance series!

-

I just got a sneak peak at the cover for my novella that is the prequel to the Small-Town Secrets series, and I can't wait to get the final version so I can share it here!

It's called Happily Ever After All, and you can't buy it. It's ONLY available to newsletter subscribers! Click here to sign up. It's easy, and as soon as I have the final cover back from the designer, I'll send the prequel out to you.

My working title was Carol Ann Drinks Her Coffee. It's the story of an elderly widow who reminisces about meeting her husband, Archie, who eventually became the editor of Fairview's newspaper, The Fairview Review. She remembers when he went off to serve in the Korean War while she was pregnant and what it was like when he retired.

Carol Ann has strong opinions about some of the things going on in today's world. And, of course, as a former newspaper editor myself, I enjoyed writing about Archie's career. Truth to tell, there's a lot of me in Archie (although I did not serve in any war.)

I had a lovely time writing this sweet little prequel, and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Have You Ever Faked It?

Let's get real about fake marriages! There are so many great books about fake relationships/fake marriages out there. There's something extra angsty about reading the story of two people pretending to be a couple while each of them is secretly pining for the other, but trying so hard to stay cool and not let on. There is a whole romance subgenre devoted to this trope. Here's a quick look at a few currently popular titles: Faking Ms. Right by Claire Kingsley,  Unexpected Gift from R.S. Elliot, Fake Marriage by Ajme Williams, Backup Bride by Melinda Mink, A Cowboy and his Fake Marriage by Emmy Eugene, The Billionaire's Fake Wife by L. Steele ... and there are many more. Add in the secret baby or accidental pregnancy trope, and you've really got a hard-to-put-down read. Claiming Haley in my new series,  Babies and Brides , is in this tradition. Here's the blurb:  I’m a pregnant wedding planner who has less than two weeks to throw together a real wedding for

Beagles and books!

Lots of news in the Sophia Sinclair world, but here are the two I want to talk about today. First of all, I'd like everyone to meet Cashew! She is a three-legged senior beagle mix I adopted from my local animal shelter recently. She's very, very sweet and hangs out with me on the futon in my office while I write. She thinks the dog in Worth the Wait should have been a larger part of the story. Everyone's a critic. Second, I'm still giving away free prequels (click here to download!) to the Small-Town Secrets series. This is Happily Ever After All, and it's about an older lady from the early days in Fairview, reminiscing about her life. Here's a line or two from Carol Ann's remembrance of her first time, just to whet your appetite. This part of the story takes place about a week before her wedding, when she and her soon-to-be husband were painting the house they would move into after returning from their honeymoon: She had always imagined her first tim

Who Doesn't Love a Romance Spin-Off?

What do Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have to do with my books? Not very much, honestly, except I am always hoping they'll decide to do a sequel that explores the life of Walt Jr. But we all love a good spin-off, don't we?  That's why I'm writing a spin-off series that takes up right where the Small-Town Secrets ends. The new series, Babies and Brides , focuses on some of the younger residents of good old Fairview, the sweet little small town where the first series too place. You already know all the hang-outs in Fairview. If you were magically dropped in, you'd know where to order a pizza (Sorrentino's, of course) and where to get the best ice cream (Remy's). And would you order a drink anywhere but at The Clipper? Heck no. This series launches with Claiming Haley . You may remember her from Crazy Little Thing and Laws of Attraction . She appeared in both. Now we learn her back story, and you've probably already deduced by the series name that t
