Today on the site I’m delighted to welcome Sapphic Romance authors Camille Kellogg and Susie Dumond, whose newest releases (The Next Chapter and Bed and Breakup, respectively) both release this month! Here’s a little bit about each book, as told by the authors:
Bed and Breakup by Susie Dumond is a second-chance romance about two ex-wives who fell in love while renovating a historic inn in a quirky spa town in the Ozarks. Their unexpected success as an LGBTQ+ tourist destination tore them apart, and now, years later, they’ve landed back at the inn for very different reasons. They decide to fix up the inn, sell it, get some closure, and go their separate ways. But it’s a romance novel, so we all know that doesn’t go as planned.
The Next Chapter by Camille Kellogg is a queer ode to Notting Hill, about a former child star and an independent bookseller who start a relationship as a publicity stunt—but only one of them knows the relationship is fake.
And now, please welcome Camille Kellogg and Susie Dumond!
