I have some good news… and some bad news…
They say it’s always best to start with the bad news, so here goes.
The bad news is that I’ll be switching to a monthly newsletter instead of sending one out each week. (Just until the end of the year) You'll still get all the travel tips, hidden gems, historical tidbits, and updates you’ve come to expect—just condensed into one jam-packed email on the first Thursday of every month.
Now for the good news:
This change means I can focus more time and energy on editing my new novel (yay!)—and you’ll still get a fun email in your inbox each month.
Bonus good news: You won’t have to wait a whole week for the answers to the trivia questions anymore—I’ll now include them in the same newsletter! 🎉
Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. Your support means everything—and I promise this upcoming book will be worth the wait.
Until next month,
Jessica
