Hello, friends! I’m delighted to announce that my newest book, London in Bloom, officially releases today! My floral tour of enchanting London is now available worldwide and I could not be happier or more grateful. Many, many of you have supported this release by pre-ordering the book and you should be receiving it today! Let’s celebrate together!
Due to your support, London in Bloom has already become an Amazon #1 Bestseller in several categories, including Great Britain Travel Guides and England Travel Guides. Thank you so much!!
We held a pre-launch event at the gorgeous, pink Peggy Porschen Chelsea Parlour in London last week. Peggy and I had planned the event more than a year ago, well before we knew that her Parlour would be featured on the cover of the book!
And now, the Cities in Bloom trilogy is complete!
A launch day is a day of celebration, but even more importantly, a day of gratitude. This book could not have been possible without the incredible team of people that worked with me on it over the course of the last several years.
