Preorders for "Our Summer" !!

After years of writing, editing, rereading over and over again, and starting Wanderlust Publishing, our debut novel, "Our Summer" is one step closer to being published! "Our Summer" is set to release on September 2nd, 2025, and preorders are available on our website NOW!

Preorder "Our Summer"

Being 100% transparent, this has been the scariest and most rewarding step so far. I've had my publishing timeline for "Our Summer" planned for months, and I was right on track until I decided to add one more round of copy edits that I did not account for last week. With a vacation coming up next week, I was cramming to finish them in time and for a moment wasn't even sure if I would. I had to rearrange all of my goals for the next few weeks in order to fit in that last round of copy edits, and that was scary to think I might have to push it all back. But, you know, if that's what happened, it was okay, because no one knew yet when I was planning to release "Our Summer".

There's no going back now, though. It's official. And unless there are tragic, unforeseen circumstances way out of my control, "Our Summer" will be released on September 2nd! And even with my worries, we will be just fine. I gave myself so much wiggle room in the event I needed more time, so we are right on schedule with room to spare! So, if a Young/New Adult Romance of a summer on the beach sounds up your alley, then you can go preorder it NOW!!

You also may have realized there's no cover yet, but I can assure you there IS a cover...you just haven't seen it yet ;) That reveal will come at a later time (but not too much later, I'm way too excited to wait that long to share it)! It has been such a fun experience to work with a designer on the cover for this book I've been working on for four years, and I teared up the first time I saw it. It was a huge "THIS IS HAPPENING" moment for me, and I hope you will love it just as much as I do.

There are so many things coming to Wanderlust, including the release of "Our Summer" and some other things I cannot say yet, and I am so so excited for all of it! I'm gonna go before I keep rambling about how excited I am and getting sappy about publishing my first book. I love you all and thank you for being on this journey with me!

Until next time, Ashley
