Wow, what an incredible journey as a writer. I am thrilled to announce that the final novel in the Haven Cove Series is now published and eagerly awaiting readers to immerse themselves in this captivating fictional world. I must confess, I was moved to tears upon finishing the last book, having fallen in love with these two teenagers who simply want to be together without the obstacles faced by the Whitlock Writers. This book deserved extra time, and the release date was extended to ensure that, when you reach the last page, Haven Cove and Josie and Blaine's personal journey will stay with you for weeks. But that's not all—new characters will also steal your heart, and they will have their own standalone series coming in 2027.
As an indie author, balancing writing, marketing, and parenting three high-functioning autistic teenagers is a constant challenge. I am not just a writer but an autism advocate, committed to making a difference in the publishing industry by creating more titles in large print and stories that neurodiverse readers can relate to. And there's more excitement—another book drops in just two weeks! A brand new Christmas series, a paranormal mystery black comedy, features a young hairdresser marrying her high school sweetheart and solving the chilling murder of her sister-in-law, who also happens to be her high school bully and a ghost haunting her until she finds the truth. Writing this was an amazing experience, spanning the eras of the 70s and 80s, complete with a nostalgic soundtrack to fully immerse you in the story. The release date is September 8th: Blow Dry and Bury the Truth! Book 1 of the Dead But Still My Sister-In-Law series. Yes, a series about being haunted by your deceased sister-in-law—something I believe many can relate to, especially when it’s about family conflicts.
Please support my work by sharing these titles with your family, friends, and colleagues on social media. As an independent author, I handle all aspects myself while navigating the joys and chaos of motherhood here in rural Australia. Your support means everything to me. Thank you for embracing the Haven Cove Universe—I look forward to hearing your thoughts on how the story concluded.
God Bless,
Sonia D.
