Just a quick update on the writing front. I am CLOSING IN on the end of Touchstone AT LAST, omg so excited. I should have the book basically DONE by the end of the weekend (OMG!!!) and then I’ll need to read over the final handful of chapters to make sure they are as polished as the rest of the book, and THEN IT IS DONE.
The cover artist has been booked to do the spine/rear cover, and I might even be brave enough to start putting up preorder links! (This is what happened last time I tried, so you know.)
Speaking of preorder links, I might not have one available yet for Touchstone (which is currently still pegged for a late September release, yay!), but I DO have a link for the book AFTER that (lol)! Cherry Blossom And Other Stories will be back on shelves in February of 2026, and you can check out the details and preorder now here on AmyLaurens.com. Preorders will be live on all the general stores soon 🙂
Yay! More books!
Oh and a PS, Life Had Other Plans, my next poetry collection, comes out at the end of June at all the usual stores, but it’s available NOW if you order here on AmyLaurens.com 🙂
