Waiting at Hayden’s: First Book Where Readers Can Shop Characters’ Clothes

April 2, 2018

I’m so excited to announce that my novel, Waiting at Hayden’s, will be the first book to be published that will allow readers to shop the characters’ outfits and home decor!

Growing up, I remember reading books like Sex and the City and wishing I could buy Carrie Bradshaw’s outfits. I’ve also been known to spend hours scouring the internet looking for home decor that’s similar to the items found in the characters’ homes in any Nancy Meyers’ movie. So, I decided to bring you a story where you can do what I could not: shop!

 

Next month, I’ll be working with a team of actors to produce filmed highlights of key scenes in my novel. In the digital version of the book, you’ll be able to click on links to watch these scenes unfold and you can shop the characters’ clothes from the book itself and on my blog. For my non-fashion enthusiasts or those who aren’t fans of Kindle or e-readers, Waiting at Hayden’s will also be released in both hardcover and paperback with shopping links available on my website.

While Waiting at Hayden’s is in no way about clothes, I think what we wear expresses who we are and my hope is that the clothes help you better connect to my characters and to this story that I am so excited to finally get to share!

Writing is primarily a solitary effort so it’s been so much fun to connect with other creatives in the fashion, acting, videography, and photography worlds in the final stages of bringing my female-driven love story to life. I can’t wait to share sneak peeks of the clothes and to introduce you to my characters as we film this next month.

Leave me a comment with any of your favorite brands that you like to shop!

Waiting at Hayden’s is getting a sequel (sort of!) Waiting at Hayden’s is getting a sequel (sort of!) and it’s a Christmas story. 🎄Coming September 2022!
My mom and I started an Etsy shop! 💕 Early on in t My mom and I started an Etsy shop! 💕 Early on in the pandemic my mom shared with me that it’s always been a dream of hers to have a card company. When she was in her early thirties she and my dad worked as caretakers at a campground for six months to change things up, have fun, and work a job where they could spend time together, and during that time she attempted stitching and sewing handmade cards. While she loved the creative part, it was too labor intensive, and nothing came of it.

She showed me her original designs when the pandemic started and told me she still wished there was a way to bring them to life. So, I said we’ve got the time right now—let’s find a way. And we decided to start a shop an Etsy shop!

We’ve spent the past six months designing printable cards, wall décor, bookmarks, and more. 

It’s been really neat to see my mom’s dream come to life and to get to work together on building a brand that’s inspired by her vision. 

2020 was really tough for all of us, and creating this store with my mom was a little bit of light. I’ll always remember getting to work side-by-side with her on this. Link in bio to our store. We’ll have new designs each week! Happy New Year!💕 #bookmarks #bookstagram #etsyshop
Finished!!!! 💕✨🌟 Such a journey! Thank you for all Finished!!!! 💕✨🌟 Such a journey! Thank you for all your encouraging messages this weekend! This book was very challenging to write, but I also felt lucky that I had this story idea at this time & that I got to do this work during quarantine. It brought a lot of light into my life, a lot of laughs, and lots of new, interesting perspectives—and that’s what I hope it brings to all of you next. I can’t wait to share ONE PERFECT WEEKEND!! #thend #oneperfectweekend #writinganovel #womensfiction #newbook
We’ve changed the title for my next book! This was We’ve changed the title for my next book! This was a change I wanted to make for a number of reasons: the main one being that the book, at it’s core, is a love story just like Waiting at Hayden’s and I didn’t feel like The Influencer reflected that. The book’s new title is One Perfect Weekend and I feel it fits the story SOO much better. 💕 If anyone is curious about what goes into picking a book title or if you’re working on a WIP of your own, I wrote up a blog post about the topic and it’s linked in my bio. I talk more in there about the title change for this story too! #oneperfectweekend #womensfiction #newnovel #beachreads 📷: @ryanselewicz
