Hello Readers, I just discovered the ask the author portal on Goodreads. I’m really late to this party, but better late than never, right? Anyway, it’s open now and if you’re reading BWWS or you’re going to start reading it , feel free to ask away. I’ll be popping in now and then to answer your questions until late next week. Here’s where to look –> GOODREADS

If you haven’t heard about Matt and Grace’s story, here’s some info…

Before We Were Strangers

AVAILABLE NOW

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York.

To the Green-eyed Lovebird:

We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.

You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.

We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.

Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…

I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.

After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

oh and I’ll be here Friday…

Sweet Little Thing COMING MARCH 4th!!

Renée Carlino — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:00:00 +0000

Ever wonder what happened after the final pages of Sweet Thing?

From his candid and sometimes neurotic point of view, Will tells all in this musical and sexy follow-up novella to Renée Carlino’s USA Today Bestseller.

Life is pure bliss for Mia and Will. They have a puppy, a loft in Brooklyn, and a new music studio on the rise. It seems things couldn’t get any better for this talented couple when life decides to throw them a sweet little curve ball.

They quickly learn that things don’t always go according to plan. Sometimes happily ever after is one giant leap of faith away.
With the help of good music, good friends, and one eccentric old lady, they overcome a few of life’s little bumps to find the sweetest thing of all.

Watch this duo grow in more ways than one in SWEET Little THING

Sweet Little Thing, releasing March 4th and here is the COVER!!

Renée Carlino — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:06:00 +0000

I had been waiting for so long to bring Mia and Will back to the page. At first, I wasn’t sure that I would do it. Their story seemed so final; the show was over; the crowd dispersed and the blinding lights came on, but like at the end of every concert, there’s always a chance the performers will come back out on stage. I might have been the only one standing in an empty venue waiting, a singular set of clapping hands, but I just could not walk out without hearing one last song.

And honestly, Will stayed in my ear, harassing me and begging me to tell the story of what happened after the final pages of Sweet Thing, so I let him do it in Sweet Little Thing.

Here it is…the cover for Sweet Little Thing, which will be released March 4th.
