Reviving Old Passions


Hey lovely readers!

Hope you're all having a fantastic week! I had to sit down and write this because honestly, I'm still pinching myself over what's been happening.

The Vines Between Us is blowing me away!

Okay, can we talk about how amazing you all are? The Vines Between Us is sitting pretty at 4.67 stars on Goodreads and I literally teared up reading some of your reviews. Seriously, you get Alexandre and Hugo's story in ways that make my author heart sing.

For those who haven't jumped into the French vineyard drama yet (what are you waiting for?!), this is your reminder that Alexandre and Hugo are waiting for you in Saint-Émilion. These two have baggage, chemistry that could set the vineyards on fire, and a second chance that'll make you believe in love all over again. Plus, their grandfathers' secret romance? Chef's kiss

The Vines Between Us is ready for you in whatever format makes you happy:

  • Ebook for instant reading satisfaction
  • Kindle Unlimited for those of you who devour romance like I do
  • Paperback for the book lovers who crave that tactile experience

Trust me, Alexandre's journey from corporate life back to his roots (and back to Hugo) will have you ugly-crying in the best way possible.

Client Privilege Audiobook - Almost there!

So, update on the Client Privilege audiobook situation! The narrator just sent me all the files and I'm currently holed up reviewing every single chapter. I'm being super picky because you deserve nothing but perfection, and honestly? It's sounding incredible.

I'm aiming for September release on Audible, so start preparing your ears for some serious book boyfriend material.

Life updates and what I'm working on

Personal confession: I'm on a staycation right now and it's been exactly what my brain needed. Sometimes you don't realize how much you need to just... stop... until you actually do it.

The coolest thing happened though - I pulled out this manuscript I started during the crazy early pandemic days and then abandoned when life got overwhelming. Reading it again after all this time? It was like meeting an old friend. I knew exactly what story it wanted to be.

So drumroll please... I'm officially working on Outbreak Protocol again, and it's coming your way in September!

If you loved Emergency Contact, you're going to eat this up. Same medical drama intensity, same impossible choices, same "how do these people find love in the middle of chaos" energy. But this one hits different because it's been brewing in my subconscious for years.

That's all for now!

Thanks for being the absolute best readers in the world. Seriously, you make this whole crazy author life worth it. Every review, every message, every time you recommend my books to someone - it matters more than you know.

Now go read something that makes you happy (hopefully one of my books!).

Talk soon,

C.G. Macington
