Tune in at 7pm ET for TONIGHT’s episode! Join us Wednesday, March 11th at 7pm Eastern on the F&F Facebook page and YouTube channel as Kristy Woodson Harvey & Mary Kay Andrews welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author Lucy Score to discuss her new swoonworthy small town rom-com, Mistakes Were Made, which invites us back to Story Lake for a steamy escape full of emotional twists, slow-burn tension, and Lucy’s trademark charm.
Lucy Score is a #1 NYT-bestselling author who stumbled into her dream job after being fired one too many times. Known for her laugh-out-loud romances and fiercely loyal readers, she’s sold millions of books across the globe which have been translated into 31 languages and counting. When she’s not writing, Lucy can be found impulse shopping, fighting a losing battle with her couch’s butt-dent, or plotting her next great story while pretending to work out. She joins us from her home in Pennsylvania to discuss Mistakes Were Made, her new steamy opposites-attract love story that revisits Zoey and Gage from last year’s Story of My Life. Watch the video broadcast of this interview as it airs on Wed 3/11 at 7pm ET on the F&F Facebook group page & YouTube channel. Catch the audio version on our podcast Fri 3/13.

MARY KAY ANDREWS loved being in conversation with Joshilyn Jackson about her new domestic thriller Missing Sister at Eagle Eye Books in Decatur, Ga. last week. (Jos left lots of signed books behind if you still need a copy.) She loved having son Andy and his family home for the weekend to celebrate daughter-in-law Meg’s birthday. On Monday she had the joy of being with a roomful of talented young writers (and their parents and teachers) in Southwest Georgia, to recognize the winners of the Chattahoochee-Flint District Regional Educational Service Agency writing competition. MKA is this close to announcing the tour for ROAD TRIP, so stay tuned to her Facebook & Instagram for all the deets.

If you’re in the Sunshine State next March, make it a point to attend! Kristin is just three weeks away from the release of THE STOLEN LIFE OF COLETTE MARCEAU in paperback, and she’s gearing up for the July 28 release of MEET ME IN PARIS! KRISTY WOODSON HARVEY had so much fun over the weekend celebrating her dad’s birthday in his hometown of Wilmington, NC and revisiting some of his favorite places! She is putting the finishing touches on her SUMMER STATE OF MIND tour, beginning May 1, and–unbelievably!--working on FALLING FOR PEACHTREE BLUFF tour, coming September 15 as well. So many fun things happening. Don’t forget: if you are in Tennessee, I’ll be in Oak Ridge for a fabulous luncheon on March 24. Come see me! And, don’t forget, if you need a short and sweet reading fix, LEAVE IT UP TO LOVE is only $1.99 on Kindle and Audible! PATTI CALLAHAN HENRY has been on the road for the paperback tour of THE STORY SHE LEFT BEHIND and loving every minute of seeing her readers and so many of her Friends & Fiction community!
