Can't let publication day pass without thanking the talented @russeldmclean.bsky.social my developmental editor, who helped us wrestle this book into shape! So lucky to work with him too ✨

I’ve loved every book by
@callytaylor.bsky.social and this one was no exception. It’s Always the Husband is twisty, gripping, and completely addictive.
There was something deliciously gossipy yet unsettling about it all. Such a great book!

They are lovely to watch. We were going to do some planting soon, but I think we'll hold off for a while now!
