It’s August in the Bay Area…aka the one month of the year where Karl Fog Monster stays around and yet its oddly warm. Ha! But seriously, its nice to have a little bit of sunshine, even if I’m going to spend most of that time working on something new. Nothing on that for now, but there is still good stuff for y’all below!
Giveaway
First things first, I’m so excited for the release of my second novel and so to celebrate I’m giving away THREE signed ARCs of The Bounce Back! Click here to read the rules and enter the giveaway.

Don’t want to pin your hopes on a giveaway? You can pre-order The Bounce Back from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BookShop, Indie Bound or wherever you get your books.
Pressy Stuff
The Checklist was featured on Frolic’s Summer Bucket List, and Buzzfeed’s Romance Novels You Need To Read This Summer. It was also featured as a Summer Reading on the Misfit’s Guide To Writing Indie Romance!
And, Publisher’s Weekly reviewed The Bounce Back and said:
“Woolridge’s introspective narrative tackles the limiting behaviors that stem from comparison and failure. Focusing first on the growth of the characters, Woolridge makes every connection feel genuine and the romance well-deserved for both Neale and the audience.”
I know–pinch me, I’m dreaming!
Events
I’m super excited to be joining the San Mateo Library‘s Romance Authors Day reading on August 21 from 3-4pm. If you live in the Bay Area stop by the reading day and say hi!
Also, if you missed the Romance Slam Jam Convention set a reminder for next year. The event was so much fun and I fully plan to attend again (hopefully in person sometime)!
