Black Candle Women

I have a title!…which means that the world is ready for an official announcement. Can you say surreal? I’ve been reading announcements in Publisher’s Marketplace for years, and now I finally have an announcement of my own. As the start of a new journey, things are off to a dreamy start, and I’m buckling up for a thrilling ride. Or a very long slow one with very little scenery, with a sudden jump to lightspeed - that’s kind of how I’ve heard things go in publishing. Whatever the case, I’m excited about it all.

While we’re here, I have to share the lovely text that accompanied the post by my publisher, Graydon House.

Fans of Brit Bennett’s The Mothers and Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic take note! Diane Marie Brown’s gorgeous debut, Black Candle Women, is coming your way late next year. We fell in love with this book from the get-go and can’t wait to share it with you! In the meantime, make sure to follow Diane.

I’ve got many hours to put in until this book is ready for you, and once it is, I hope it works a little magic in the world.
