One year ago today, Hollis Hartwell signed divorce papers then made the decision to go bowling in a cat costume where she met two weirdos who would change her view of holiday traditions.

Happy first birthday to Hollis, Jay, Marv, and the novella that convinced at least three of you to skip a parade.

Thanks for putting up with my sheet this month. 👻 by @ashleymanleywrites

Some news (that we are all actually ✨very✨ excited about)! Starting next summer, @myaudiobrary will be bringing @ashleymanleywrites wonderful Back to Fontain series to audiobook life!

This collaboration is a story of how listeners can make things happen: I (Julia) slipped into Ashley’s DMs last year and said, if I get one more message about how I should be narrating your books, I might have to actually read one. And Ashley replied that she was constantly being told that I should be narrating her books, too. So we talked (and discovered we share a sense of humor, clearly). And we strategized. And we talked (and laughed) some more. And here we are. We hope you’re as happy as we are. 💞 by @ashleymanleywrites

Two posts, one day. I must have something to say.

Books one and two of the Back to Fontain series are having a discounted moment on Kindle this week. I hope you’re here for it as this might be the most fun you’ll have with a dollar since at least 1996.

Let’s call them contemporary romance with some women’s fiction mixed in. AKA a good time. Best enjoyed in order but can most definitely be read as standalones.

BACK TO FONTAIN

BOOK ONE (The History Between)
Second chance / Yearning

BOOK TWO (The Difference Between)
Reverse Age-Gap / He’s a saint

BOOK THREE (The Space Between, 2027)
I CAN’T TELL YOU THIS! by @ashleymanleywrites

The History Between. It’s about a treasure hunt, but not really.

FREE ON KINDLE THIS WEEK 🤩

Not into searching? I gotchu! Comment ‘Rue’ and I’ll DM you the link ❤️ by @ashleymanleywrites
