No Greater Love Is Almost Here: Pre-Orders, Book Events, Street Team & Exclusive Swag

There’s something special about the weeks leading up to a book release. After years of writing, revising, researching, editing, and imagining these characters’ lives, No Greater Love is finally making its way into the world.

And with the September 29, 2026 release date quickly approaching, there is a lot happening behind the scenes!

If you’re a longtime reader of A Cape May Trilogy, a fan of historical fiction set in New Jersey, or simply love discovering independent authors and books rooted in real history, I’d love to share what’s coming up—including an upcoming author signing in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, the final opportunity to join my Street Team, special pre-order book swag, and opportunities for book clubs to connect with me this fall.

No Greater Love: Book Two in A Cape May Trilogy

No Greater Love is the second book in A Cape May Trilogy, following Thicker Than Water.

The trilogy begins in 1916, before the United States entered World War I, and follows its characters through some of the most dramatic decades in American history.

In No Greater Love, Cape May is a very different place than it was in Thicker Than Water. Prohibition has changed the landscape, and the dangers surrounding the characters have become much more personal.

The novel combines historical fiction, historical romance, family drama, Prohibition-era history, Jersey Shore history, and organized crime against the backdrop of one of New Jersey’s most iconic coastal communities.

If you enjoy historical fiction featuring Cape May, the 1920s, Prohibition, bootleggers, rum-running, family secrets, forbidden love, complicated relationships, and strong-willed characters, I hope you’ll consider adding No Greater Love to your reading list.

Upcoming Author Signing: September 6 in Stone Harbor

If you’re in South Jersey, Cape May County, or Down the Shore this Labor Day Weekend, I hope you’ll join me for an upcoming author event!

I’ll be at Barrier Island Books & Art in Stone Harbor on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

This is a wonderful opportunity to stop by, say hello, talk books, and pick up a signed copy of Thicker Than Water for readers who are new to A Cape May Trilogy.

Whether you’re a longtime reader, a local history enthusiast, a Jersey Shore book lover, or simply curious about historical fiction set along the New Jersey coast, I’d love to see you!

Pre-Order No Greater Love & Receive Bookish Swag

If you’ve already pre-ordered No Greater Love, thank you!

Pre-orders are incredibly meaningful to independent authors. They help demonstrate reader interest before publication day and help build momentum for a new release.

As a small thank-you to those who pre-order, I’ve put together some special No Greater Love pre-order swag.

The goodies include:

• A custom No Greater Love bookmark

• Bookish stickers by The Wrapped Chapter, including one inspired by Danny’s iconic pocket watch

• Vintage-style postcards from Whale’s Tale

• Additional bookish surprises

  
  

These items were created specifically for readers who are supporting No Greater Love ahead of its September 29 release. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, there’s still time! Just click here!

After placing your order, simply provide proof of purchase so I can verify your pre-order and arrange your swag.

Please note: pre-order swag is available while supplies last.

And to everyone who has already pre-ordered: thank you again for helping bring this story into the world before it has even officially arrived. ❤️

Last Call: Join the No Greater Love Street Team

I’m also making one final call for readers who would like to become part of the No Greater Love Street Team.

The Street Team is a group of readers and book lovers helping me spread the word about the upcoming release of No Greater Love. You do not have to be an influencer, book blogger, or social media expert. You don't have to post every day—or even post everything I provide.

I’ve created ready-to-use promotional materials to make participating as easy as possible, including:

📱 Pre-made Instagram and Facebook graphics

🎥 Ready-to-share Reels and mobile videos

📖 High-resolution No Greater Love cover images

✍️ Suggested promotional copy and captions

🎉 Special launch-day content

You can simply choose the content you like and share it when it works for you.

Even one or two shout-outs, particularly on release day—Tuesday, September 29—would mean a tremendous amount to me.

If you’d like to help introduce No Greater Love to more readers, send me an email with “STREET TEAM” and I’ll send you the details.

This is the final call for Street Team members as we head into the home stretch toward publication!

Book Clubs: Let’s Talk No Greater Love

One of my favorite parts of being an author is getting the opportunity to talk with readers about the stories behind the stories.

I’m currently beginning to book author appearances and book club visits for Autumn 2026, and I would love to connect with local book clubs and reading groups interested in No Greater Love or A Cape May Trilogy.

Because the story incorporates so many historical elements—including Prohibition, Cape May history, rum-running, organized crime, family loyalty, relationships, and life along the New Jersey coast in the 1920s—there’s plenty to discuss beyond the pages of the novel.

Book clubs can reach out if they’re interested in:

• An in-person author visit

• A virtual book club discussion

• A Q&A with the author

• Discussion of the historical research behind the novel

• The characters and their development throughout the trilogy

• The real history that inspired the fictional story

  
  

If your book club is planning its Fall 2026 or Winter 2027 reading schedule, feel free to reach out. I’ll be filling my fall calendar over the coming weeks and would be delighted to see if we can find a date that works.

The Countdown Is On

It’s hard to believe that No Greater Love is almost here!!

Whether you’ve been following these characters since Thicker Than Water or you’re just discovering the trilogy, I’m so thankful for your support.
