It's me. Hi.

(I'm usually the problem, but maybe today it's NOT me. I mean, you never know...)

Hi, You!

Hope you’re having a splendid Tuesday! I keep forgetting that newsletters are a thing, that I should send them out and maybe remember the login for this new-to-me platform, but today it’s happening.

I’m being a big girl with the newsletter!

I don’t have a lot to say, just a few little things to share that you might’ve missed out on. And if you already know these things or just don’t care, my apologies for clogging up your inbox. DELETE ME, BRUH - I won’t be mad.

So here are the stuff and things:

1. A bonus chapter of BTTM (see pic above) - the party scene from Wes’s POV - is OUT NOW on the website (lynnpainter.com), if you feel like getting into Wessy’s head again.

2. The Love Wager is officially out now and available everywhere you can buy books! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/678679/the-love-wager-by-lynn-painter/

3. I have some new appearances on my schedule, so clear your calendar because I’m dying to meet-and-greet the crap out of you!

   **June 23-24 - I will be at Colleen Hoover’s Book Bonanza in Grapevine, TX! I cannot WAIT to meet readers and a billionty (yes it is too a number) other authors!

   

   **August 16 at 7pm - I’m having a signing/Q&A/meet& greet at The Grove Barnes and Noble in Los Angeles!!! I’m so geeked out to even VISIT this legendary store, much less have the chance to hang out with readers. Mark your calendars if you’ll be in Cali!

   

   **August 18-19 - I will be at Steamy Lit Con in Anaheim, which is a HUGE romance convention that celebrates diversity in romantic lit and it is going to be an amazing time. The number of top-tier authors that I’m going to be fangirling over is mind-boggling, and I hope to see you there so we can do it together! (Fangirl, not IT)

   

   **I’m MAYBE going to have something in Minneapolis/St. Paul the first weekend of June, but that’s still tentative. More to follow!

   1. BETTING ON YOU, my When Harry Met Sally-inspired YA romcom, is available for preorder! And if you’re interested in a signed, personalized copy, those are available through The Bookworm Omaha. You simply preorder a copy, note in the comments what you’d like me to scrawl out in my illegible handwriting, and they call me to come in and do it!! I’ve written SO MANY T-Swift lyrics in so many books and it makes my soul happy. :)

5. NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIES, the sequel for Better Than The Movies, is coming Fall 2024!!!! (I think I might’ve bothered you about this already but I cannot remember so deal with my bad brain, plz.). Wes and Liz are back, and I’m having the BEST TIME hanging out with them again!!!

   

Ookay - I think I’m done bothering you for now. If you’ve read this far, you’re a hero worthy of two chocolate raised donuts with a side of whole milk. Thank you!!!!!
