🍯🌺 That new book smell and forbidden character art...
Published 11 days ago • 3 min read
Hey book sniffer (and hockey lover? hockey convert? step on over to the puck side!)
That new paperback smell is in the air, and Max “Don’t Call Me Grumpy” Harrison is ready to steal your heart (while pretending he doesn’t care, obvi).
The Tea Is HOT
Early reviews are in and… fans self dramatically
- “Max is probably the grumpiest character I ever read” (Yeah, that’s kind of his whole brand)
- “Their chemistry was so strong, it felt impossible for them not to fall for each other” (I MEAN…)
- “This has got steamy” + “Noooooo” + “Getting really good again, hot” (This emotional rollercoaster possibly brought to you by one very memorable locker room scene 🤔)
- Even readers “not into sports stories” are falling for our grumpy boy!
Official Inventory of Grumpfest Contents:
One (1) professionally grumpy hockey god with questionable smiling abilities
One (1) certified sunshine specialist with grump-wrangling expertise
Several (?) nosy teammates with zero respect for personal boundaries
One (1) rookie who is definitely a golden retriever in a human suit
Four hundred plus (400+) pages of delicious tension
You gotta keep it on the down low, but I commissioned some seriously 🔥 character art that has me reaching for my smelling salts.
Picture this: Max (shirtless in sweats) holding Lily (in his jersey and not much else) against him, her legs wrapped around his waist while he… appreciates the view.
And that rare Max smile? Let’s just say Lily earned it. 😏 It's a little sexy, and a whole lot super cute, I can't even.
So, Let's Make a Deal...
That cute and sexy character art isn't going to reveal itself!
Help me hit 100 “Notify Me on Launch” followers on Kickstarter, and I'll give my newsletter fam an early peek at the watermarked masterpiece. Think of it as a reward for enabling my completely arbitrary goals.
You already know my ultimate pre-launch mission is 347 followers before the August launch, but I'm willing to bribe you with inappropriate art way before then. 😘
Yours in paperback-sniffing glory,
P.S. Hit reply and tell me: What’s your favorite grumpy hero trait? The scowling? The reluctant smiles? The way they’re soft ONLY for their sunshine? I need to know!

P.P.S.S. That Booking signing in Tampa is coming up FAST (July 12), and my books are ordered. Can't WAIT, hope you can make it out!

THE GREATEST OF THESE
By Erin Fitzgerald
After twenty-four years of marriage, I'm starting over. A colorless condo and a cat I never wanted, an empty existence that reminds me of everything I've lost. Work keeps me tethered to reality, but it's the distance from my teenage boys that haunts me the most...
“I’d rather fight with you than make love with anyone else.”
— The Wedding Date

Affiliate link alert! If you click and buy my books through any of my links, I might earn a tiny commission—like, barely enough for a coffee. Plus, someone has to fund my hockey research. (It's me. I fund it.) But hey, every little bit keeps me caffeinated and writing more swoony, snarky stories for you. Thanks for the support!
