Greetings! Skylar here. I’m thrilled to be a part of the celebration at The Novel Approach! Congrats to the entire staff!
I pulled myself away from binge-watching International House Hunters to share some of my upcoming news and then play a game:
My News

- The Guy series is being translated. The Guy from Glamour is already available in French and German. The Sunshine and Happiness series is also being translated soon. I am so blessed! This was a dream of mine for many years.
- Close to You just released in audio!
- The final book of the Sunshine and Happiness series, River and Morgan’s book titled Secrets of You will release in early March.
I’m still waiting on the cover and exact release date, but the book has entered the final stage of development! Hooray!

The Game and Giveaway
Since I have been dreaming about travel lately…
I selected pictures of three cities during Christmas to add to the festive mood (hint: these places all begin with the same letter). Follow the prompt in the Rafflecopter Widget to enter for the chance to win an e-book of choice or the audio of Close to You.
Good luck and happy holidays!

I just recognise the second one, it is Auckland Farmer’s Santa parade… the first one could be Amsterdam, you know, the river, the bridge, the bycicles. But I’m not sure.

The first looks like Amsterdam and the last looks like Athens. Nothing familiar about the middle one for me.
Congrats on all your great bookish news, Skylar. I hope your new year is filled with some wonderful journeys!

Thanks for the clue about the letter. That really helped, because at first I thought the first one was Paris, but once I saw the third, I realized it looked like Athens.
So, I’m going with
1 – Amsterdam
2 – Auckland
3 – Athens
