I’m excited to share the cover for Katie’s book, Worth Playing For, her debut romcom novel for fans of reality TV, second chance romance, and all of the 2000s romcom vibes. Her book is available for pre-order, which is crucial for debut authors. They count toward first day sales and best seller lists, trigger retailer algorithms for wider visibility, and prove consumer demand to bookstores.

To pre-order, you could search WORTH PLAYING FOR on the Penguin Random House website for links, and the book will arrive on 4/27/27!

love is in the air (and the fiction section) 🥰📚

Hoboken author Katie Gergel got the surprise of a lifetime when her now-fiancé Corey proposed inside Little City Books this weekend.

Surrounded by Jane Austen, the Brontës, and Tolstoy, the pair began their own new chapter, with a little help from friends who “lured” Katie in under the guise of a book promo.

We LOVE local love. Congrats to Katie and Corey — full story at the link in our bio.
