Happy New Year, Moonridge friends. I hope your holidays were amazing (mine definitely were) and that you are easing into 2026 with a good book and a positive outlook.
I wanted to kick off the year with a quick update and something very exciting, because if we’re starting a new year, we might as well do it with ghosts, time travel, and bad romantic decisions.
I am officially in the final proofing stage for Right Place Wrong Time, Book 3 in the Welcome to Moonridge series. The story is firmly in place (even though I did add another chapter right after Thanksgiving) and at this stage, it’s all about catching the tiny things. Once that’s done, we move into typesetting, ordering physical proofs, and making any last, minor tweaks before the book is locked and ready to go.
Which means I have a release date:
Right Place Wrong Time releases on March 10.
And today, I’m happy to share the cover.
This book has been a labor of love. It’s spooky, romantic, emotionally messy, and deeply tied into the larger Moonridge mythology. If you thought things between Calvin and Everett were done after the reveal at the end of Book 2, this is where things get complicated.
Everett and Calvin reconnect after a drunken Valentine’s Day mishap, and Calvin begins to realize Everett might not be the bad guy he thought he was. When a time travel door is discovered, Calvin decides he’s going to go back and prevent the Concord from ever making Everett one of them. But, as is to be expected, nothing is ever that simple in Moonridge.
This book digs deeper into the town’s past, the reach of the Concord, and what happens when love doesn’t follow a straight line through time. It’s still very much Moonridge, and full of found family, sharp humor, and supernatural chaos. Just be prepared for everything to be turned on its head. The Moonridge you think you know is anything but.
I’ll be sharing more details as we get closer to release, including preorder info, sneak peeks, and links to ARCs when available.
Thank you, as always, for reading, cheering, and letting me keep telling these stories. Here’s to a new year, a new book, and another trip back to Moonridge.
Now it’s time for me to get back to scoping out Book 4.
I’m happy to announce that book three in the Welcome to Moonridge series officially has a title. Say hello to Right Place Wrong Time. This one follows Calvin and Everett as they stumble through love, danger, and more time-bending chaos than I probably had any business writing.
I had a really difficult time landing on a title that felt right. It started out as The Restless Hearts Club which was fine, but didn’t quite hit what I was looking for. Then it was Hearts in Retrograde, but that felt cheesy. I finally settled on Right Place Wrong Time and after finishing the rewrites, that title feels very appropriate.
If you’ve been here a minute, you know this book has been through an absolute identity crisis. I ripped it apart, stitched it back together, and somehow came out the other side with a story I’m really proud of. I just wrapped my developmental edits (went from 122,000 words to 110,000) and the manuscript is now in the capable hands of my editors and beta readers. They’ll poke holes in it. I’ll fix it. Then we’ll shine it up and get it out the door.
More fun stuff is coming soon. I’ll be revealing the cover and the release date on January 2. Mark your calendars!
Now here is the official synopsis:
Welcome back to Moonridge, where the ghosts are still restless, The Concord 13 wait in the shadows, and time travel has entered the chat.
Calvin Carter is doing his best to keep it together, but that gets tricky when Everett Bradshaw—the ghost he fell for last fall—suddenly breaks free from Skipper Lake and shows up in his house. Everett is still bound to the Concord, and still heartbreakingly out of reach.
Things take a wilder turn when Calvin uncovers a history-triggered time portal in the basement of an old shop while doing renovations. Desperate to change Everett’s fate, Calvin travels to 1958 Moonridge, where Everett is very much alive and walking straight toward the death that will bind him to The Concord for the next seventy years.
Now Calvin has four days to earn Everett’s trust, outrun the Concord’s schemes, and figure out how to make it back to the present without erasing them both from existence for good.
Magic, mystery, and a time-twisted second-chance romance collide to bring Moonridge’s magic to a whole new level.
