Hello, friends! I have a few surprises for you in this post! For months now I’ve been talking about the release of London in Bloom on March 17th. Many, many of you have already pre-ordered the book and my publisher and I are thrilled with how the pre-orders are going, so thank you VERY much! London in Bloom is already a #1 New Release in several of its categories! Let’s keep it going!
(In case you missed it, every single person who pre-orders before March 17th will: 1) be sent two bonus gifts of an autographed print and bookplate and 2) be entered to win a FREE THREE DAY STAY IN LONDON with London Perfect Rentals! Read all about it here.)
Pre-orders are so important because they signal to the book sellers that a book is in demand and they will therefore place a larger stock order from the publisher. And, online retailers, such as Amazon, will boost it further by giving it priority placement in their recommendations and “frequently bought together” suggestions, which in turn lead to more sales. I put so much love and hard work into this book that I want as many people to be able to enjoy it as possible!
In addition to London in Bloom releasing in March, I have TWO more books coming out this spring. The first, simply called Roses, is a gift-size version of my first book, Vintage Roses. This new edition has a different cover, is somewhat smaller in page count and size but otherwise has the same content as its big sister. It is published by my London publisher, Pavilion Books, so will not be distributed in the States, HOWEVER you can get it shipped free anywhere worldwide with Book Depository. Releases February 24!
Finally, coming in April, here is my latest book in the “Beautiful Varieties” series, called Hydrangeas! Last year, after I completed writing and photographing London in Bloom, I spent several weeks in the summer traveling to hydrangea gardens in France, England and Oregon to photograph these marvelous plants at their peak. Blooms from my own garden are featured as well, including here on the cover of the US edition, published by Gibbs Smith!
Here is the cover of the UK edition by Pavilion Books:
And here are all my books to date:
This coming summer, I’ll begin work on the next book in the “Beautiful Varieties” series, title to be revealed next spring!
Thank you as always for following along and supporting my work. I could not do it without you! Keep an eye out for plenty of giveaways coming up and if you haven’t yet pre-ordered London in Bloom, be sure you do before March 17th so you can be entered for a chance to win a free London stay and to receive the free bonus gifts!
With love,
G
