After four long years of being available only on Audible, Can't Take It Back is finally out in print & ebook! 🎉🥂

Holding my book in my hands is the best feeling and it would mean the world to me if you snagged a copy. 🥰

Five years ago I started working on my first historical fiction novel and today I typed my two favourite words on the first draft.

This book is a labour of love inspired by my Nana’s childhood. Can’t wait to smooth out all the edges and hopefully share it with the world. ❤️

I wish Query Manager prevented rejections from being sent on your birthday. 😕

Getting messages like this about my book never gets old. 🥰

I wish I had an easy answer to this question but, unfortunately, nothing in publishing is ever easy. 🤷‍♀️

Happy book birthday to one of my favourite books (and people!) 🧡

@finleywrites @holly_ingraham @AgentShea Congrats!!! 🎉🥂👏

@sierragodfrey @LBrideau2 I’m a few chapters in and loving it so much already! 🪑💕

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

Is there anything better than cracking open the cover of a book you’ve been dying to start?

I finally have time to tackle my towering TBR pile and first up is A VERY TYPICAL FAMILY by @sierragodfrey.

I love the premise of this debut and have heard nothing but good things.

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

@rmmckenny That’s awesome my friend. I love your book and I’m so happy for you. 👏

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

@jaydee_ell I resisted and now they just extended the presale! 🫠

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

the number of times a day I have a random thought that I then want to turn into the first line of a shiny new book project is honestly kind of ridiculous.

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

@ellenoclover this makes me so happy! 🧡🧡🧡

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

So excited to be back in person @SiWCtweets! 👏

I took 32 pages of notes in my master class with @DonMaass tonight and came out of it with many new ideas!

There's nothing like the energy of being surrounded by fellow writers. Three more fabulous days to come & I can't wait! 🤓

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

@carlywatters Welcome to the West Coast! I’m looking forward to your presentations at @SiWCtweets this weekend. 😊

It’s been brought to my attention that I often buy books just to make myself feel better with no strict plans to read them. This will not be course-corrected and I’ll be taking no questions.

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

@MeredithIreland it's amazing how, every once in a while, our kids know exactly what we need. 😭😭😭

[Kelly Duran @ByKellyDuran]

I feel attacked. 😩

[Katie Shea Boutillier @AgentShea]
