Thanks for the update! I can understand stepping off that hamster wheel. I understand how much work goes into producing a novel, to do one per year is a lot. But, to be truthful, I will miss it next spring. I always know that summer is coming when there is a new MKA book to read. I'm just a little selfish! ☺️ Enjoy your time……I‘ll look forward to your next book.
Was going to say the same thing. I can not imagine a summer without my new MKA summer beach read but I am happy you are taking the well deserved respite. Love you💕
MKA! I love ❤️ the new platform-very easy to read & stylish! I am glad all is well with your book tours, traveling, researching, and your "70th"! I enjoy your books 📚 and I look forward to your 2026 novel! Yasssss, take a breather with the one book a year! You deserve 👏 to relax more! I hope to see you again in fabulous Fairhope at the Page and Pallette! The Fab Four should go there! Yay!!! Happy Fall! Pumpkin Spice!
I understand you stepping back but I will miss your wonderful summer reads. I have loved every single book you have read. I wish you would come to The Villages here in Florida. Lots of ladies would love to meet you.
Happy Birthday! I turn 70 next month and I’m having a very hard time with this age. There is so much I want to do. I will miss your summer read. I always look forward to the May book and read it at the beach or on a cruise. I will look forward to summer of 2026.
I loved meeting you at QRB in Raleigh and loved Summers! Except for the murder - that was so sad. I hope you loved Maine as much as I did! My daughter and I went there 2 years ago to celebrate my 75th birthday!
I just finished Summer at the Saint and really enjoyed it. I understand taking a break -- I read your books and it just amazes me how you can write such extraordinary works of fiction that you do! It truly must be exhausting at times. So, please, enjoy your time off and relax and have some real fun. I will keep an eye out for word on your upcoming book in 2026.
I know I'm a bit behind (I have email overload Lol). Congratulations on your big birthday. Just remember, doing what you love keeps you young. My mom is a great example of this. We took her kayaking for her 80th birthday! She loved it!
Happy belated birthday Mary Kay!!! Love all your books, but Summers at the Saint is one of my favorites! Glad you are taking time for you and family, the two most important things in our lives. Enjoy your newsletter and updates. Happy Fall y'all!
I turned 70 in June and am also working to be moire intentional with my health and time with family. We live in Texas but Maine is our favorite vacation place. We also took a trip to Ireland to do some genealogy work on my husband's family! So happy for you that you stepped off the hamster wheel. Can't wait for the new book in a year or so. Wishing you all good things!
Congrats on the big 70! This was my year of hitting 71 years! For my birthday I too went to Ireland and have a similar photo of the Dublin airport! Can’t wait read the book when it come out in 2026!
Please do a book event when you are in New York . Either in the city or on Long Island. Maybe longislandlitfest.com can put something together for you. They just had Jodi Picoult and last year they had Adriana Trigiani.
