Today, I’m in the gorgeous town of Southern Pines, NC, and will be signing at The Country Bookshop at 5pm. If you’re in the area, I’d love it if you’d come say hi!
In Lies and Other Acts of Love, Annabelle, one of the protagonists, and her husband Ben camp out in his parents’ gorgeous guest house for a while after they move back to Salisbury, NC. (My hometown and where Mom and Dad still live!)
The guest house is so gorgeous that Annabelle proclaims she could live there comfortably for the rest of her life.
When this beautiful space caught our eye, we couldn’t help but imagine it to be similar to where Annabelle and Ben were living.
Lovely and luxurious, this is just the kind of place where we would love to be guests!
Aren’t hydrangeas, fresh from the yard, always the perfect touch?
The space feels homey yet streamlined, which we absolutely love.
And well-placed planks on the walls and ceilings add charm in droves.
Just like in Lies and Other Acts of Love, this fabulous guest house comes with its very own pool view, perfect for catching some rays on summer days.

Yes, I could definitely picture Annabelle living in that guest house. It’s perfect! In fact, I would love to live there forever! The soft colors, the planking, the barn doors, the slipcovers…so much to love. Looks like you have been having a wonderful time…and you look beautiful in the pictures!

Congrats on the book! That’s amazing! It sounds like a great read and I know lots of people are already enjoying it. These pics are amazing too…I love the colors, fixtures, everything. 🙂 Hope your week is amazing!
Kristy, it was absolutely fabulous to see what Anabelle’s guest house would have looked like in your mind’s eye. Isn’t it wonderful how books transport one to a fantasy world inside one’s mind? I love it when I read a book, then see the movie version of the story and compare how the set design jives with how I saw the scene. LOVED every word of Lies and Other Acts of Love! So happy for your success!
I have ORDERED YOUR FIRST BOOK……………still waiting!
ENJOY ALL THE EXCITEMENT!
YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!
