Emily Carpenter and 7 other people liked Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell's review of Gothictown: "IS EMILY CARPENTER WRITING A NEW BOOK?!?!?!!?"
Jun 09, 2024 11:37AM · see review
Emily Carpenter answered Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell's question: Hi there! I adore your books and was wondering if you're working on anything new? It's been three years since the last one and I have withdrawal. Hope you're doing well and LOVE what you've published already. Take care! Hi Nenia! Apologies for the long delayed answer to your question! I don't often check Goodreads. Thanks for reading and for the support. I'm so grateful. My next book GOTHICTOWN is coming out from Kensington in spring of 2025!
