Liz Talley Hi, Caro - Somehow I missed this question. Sorry about that. This book is the last in the series. I really loved writing about the reintroduction of the whooping crane to Louisiana. And I loved this sweet reunion story. For me, it had a lot of what I love about Louisiana in it. Thanks so much!
Liz Talley Hi, Ashley - As of now, it is a three book series. Thanks for checking in :)
Liz Talley Hi, Kelsey! So Adulting was sold as a stand alone book to my publisher and they hold the rights. So unless they say “write another one, Liz!” It will probably stay a stand alone. But I would be fun to see how things play out for those characters. In my mind, Olivia is still with Spence. Chase is learning how to be a wife, mother, and author while still working on herself. Neve is volunteering and loving her new community. And talking to her sister every week. Thanks for asking. I have a new book coming at the beginning of 2022. Hope you check it out :)

Liz Talley Well, you must have read my mind! I am working on an idea called "Morning Glory or Bust" which will feature a road trip to Morning Glory. Still toying with who will be my lovebirds sharing a ride, but I am dying to do a road trip book and another Morning Glory. And I still want to do a Christmas book for MG, too. Thanks for reaching out! Appreciate it <3
Liz Talley Hello, I’m so sorry to hear you had an issue. I would contact Amazon directly and tell them the issue. They are usually very accommodating. I’m afraid I don’t have the digital file so I can’t send that to you. Sorry about that. But I do believe if you contact Amazon customer service, they will be able to help you. Best of luck and thank you for wanting to read Room to Breathe :)

Liz Talley I've always loved Sex and the City and the friendship between the four women on that series. I wrote a sexy short called Hotter in Atlanta for Amazon and liked the concept of visiting different cities in a riff on Sex and the City. Combining that with my love of small town and the South, I struck upon this idea. The charm bracelet was my take on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. As for characters, Rosemary is more like me, but I really like Eden a lot. I'm writing her book now (it's in New Orleans) and she's like steel - quietly doing what she needs to do, but extremely tough.

Thanks for asking :)
Liz Talley First, thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the books. Always means so much to an author. As to Magnolia Bend, I hope to return to do Matt's story, but I don't have a date as to when that will be. I have a few other books coming out at the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016 before I can write Matt's story. But I love Magnolia Bend and will likely go back there as soon as I can work the logistics out. Thank you for reading :)
Liz Talley I power through any instance where I feel frustrated or stymied by a scene. Writer's block is a concept that can cripple. Don't give into the idea all writing is inspired. It's work. You have a job, you must do that job. Skip to a new scene and move forward. You can always go back and write the one giving you fits later.
Liz Talley Hands down it's writing in your pajamas sans makeup, but it's closely followed by coveted reader letters where something you've written has hit home. Love that feeling.
Liz Talley Spend several hours each day in the chair WRITING (not playing on social media) and spend at least an hour reading fresh new voices in your genre. Books can't get written if you don't actually put those fingers to the keyboard.
Liz Talley My newest release involves a character from the Boys of Bayou Bridge series. Shelby Mackey wouldn't leave me alone, so I gave her an unexpected pregnancy, a grieving sugarcane farmer and a Louisiana town she falls in love with. The Sweetest September is available at major retailers and on ereaders in August 2014
