He’s looking at sleeping on the ground until friendly David from the tourism office offers to share his home. Now he’s gone, and Erik flies to Pamplona on a whim to see the festival his father loved-without booking a room first. I hope you it makes you as excited for this story as I am!Įrik’s father lived for Pamplona’s yearly festival and the running of the bulls. Here’s the cover, designed by the amazing Brooke Albrecht, who listened to all my comments and gave me this amazing final design.Īnd finally, here’s the blurb. It’s part of their World of Love series, a series featuring love stories in various and different countries. I’m here today to show you the cover (although I’ve already shared it all over Social Media) and the blurb for The Sun Still Rises, which is being relased on May 17 from Dreamspinner Press. I put a lot of myself in this story, and I think it shows, but I may be slightly biased. I’m incredibly thankful to Dreamspinner Press for giving it – and me – a chance. Hello everyone! I get a rush everytime I share something about this book – my first one, I’m still finding it difficult to believe. I’ll keep this open for a week – so until May 24 – and I’m looking forward to reading your stories! One lucky person will get the craft book, while three other people will get a signed postcard and will have the chance to try to understand my handwriting. So why don’t you tell me a story about something that’s happened to you while on holiday? Write it in the comments and leave me an email address, and I’ll count you in for the giveaway. And look at the cardboard bulls! And the people! Don’t you want to arrange them prettily somewhere?įinally, I also have three postcards telling the history of the running of the bulls, and I’d love to give them a new home. I know it seems a bit silly, but when I saw it I thought it was a perfect fit for my book. Well, I’ve got a book to give away, one that will let you create your own festival for your home: You already know that The Sun Still Rises takes place in Pamplona during the San Fermín festival. And just like the book, it’s my first giveaway ever!

Reviews are starting to appear, so I’m probably going to spend the day hiding on my blanket fort and watching Please Like Me.

The day has finally come and The Sun Still Rises is out in the world for everyone to read.
