Looking for your next book to read?

It is coming!

I’m beyond thrilled to let you know that my next novel, Ashes for William, is almost ready to be published.

The cover is getting designed as you read this – I’ve hired a graphic designer who does the design work for one of the biggest grocery chains in the Midwest (hint: she also created the cover for my first two books, Girl on Fire and Personified).

So what is Ashes for William about?

Small-town Maddy has big dreams of becoming a pastry chef, though her reality looks more like a dated kitchen in her family’s leaky old farmhouse. Little does she know that her sassy best friend and roommate, Kat, is using her baked goods and other household props in less wholesome ways to help pay their bills.

As the women cross the threshold of adulthood, their relationship is tested by grief, dishonesty, and a seemingly perfect guy and his pet rooster. At every turn, they are forced to choose the path each wants to take–and if they’ll take it together. When a dark twist leaves them with a harrowing problem to solve, Maddy and Kat will discover just how strong a bond they share and the lengths they’ll go to protect it.

The Ask: I need your help to push it to the final stage of publishing.

If Ashes for William sounds interesting to you and you’d like to support the project in any way, please comment below and let me know if you plan on backing the book on Kickstarter during the launch in early February.

I’ve been writing and re-writing this book for several years, working with beta readers, editors, and a writing group to make sure it’s a great read.

If you’ve enjoyed my LifeSoup newsletters, my previous books, my social media, or are simply a friend who’s along for the ride, I would really appreciate your help. This has been a huge project and I’d love to see it off to a successful start.

Thank you so much, and have a wonderful day! Remember to stay creative!
Peace, love, and fire,
CherieDawn
