What a whirlwind month it’s been so far.

Personal news first. 

We found out baby’s gender at the end of February. We are getting ourselves a girl gang, my friends! My oldest shed a few tears because she wanted a brother, but not to be. The day after we paid for an ultrasound, our doctor called to say they were now allowing dads into the ultrasound room for the gender reveal only. What a crazy time it’s been to be pregnant.

I had a birthday last week. Another year fabulous. It was a very subdued day, because–the week before–my husband brought COVID home from work, so into quarantine we went for almost three weeks (including my birthday week.) We will officially be starting birthday celebrations afresh this coming week. I am size spa day and beach house vacation, in case you were wondering what to get me. ;P

Now for the BOOK NEWS!

Undefeated is available for YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY to buy today! A reader recently requested my book from her library and got it! When she posted about it online, people were surprised they could ask for it! I feel I have failed you in not mentioning this before.

Head on over to your library’s request forms (paper or electronic) and drop Undefeated into their boxes. Even if you’ve read it before, this helps expose other readers to my books! When you get it from your library, tag me on social media so I can repost you!!!

I need audiobook lovers’ help!
Last month, I mentioned that Undefeated is being made into an audiobook!!! If you love to listen to audiobooks, I would love for you to be on my feedback team. As my narrator works on the book, I will be getting it chapter by chapter and I would love for you to give me your feedback on the book. Reply to this message or email me at christy@cdgill.com to let me know you want in!

In the works right now…

1. Unprecedented is halfway completed with my huge personal goal of having it finished before July. 
2. A cover for Unprecedented will start work the first week of April and book 3’s cover will start sometime later this year.
3. Next week, we start designing a cover for Waiting on a Shot, a novel featuring Gia’s uncle Ronaldo Cevere who is changing the face of women’s rights in Brazil. Can’t wait to share it with you. **title subject to change.
4. I’m working on a short story prequel to Undefeated. The working title is Perfectly Designed. We get a glimpse into Gia’s life before Colorado and why she moved. No spoilers here, but as soon as it is done, I will send it straight to your inbox to download for free.

If you have a friend or family member who you think would want to be in on the audiobook feedback team or get the free story coming up, please have them sign up for my newsletter or email me at christy@cdgill.com. 

Thanks as always for being a part of this journey with me. I’m constantly looking for more ways to connect my books with readers and bring you stories you love. If you have any thoughts for me, I’d love to hear from you. Just reply to this email or find me on my social media accounts.

All the best,
I pray you are well!
