Kerry Lonsdale

WSJ Bestselling Author

No More Words

“Lonsdale expertly maintains suspense throughout. Psychological thriller fans will be well satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly

“A perfect summer read.”—Red Carpet Crash

“[A] mesmerizing first installment…sure to dazzle readers.”—The Nerd Daily

“Read in one sitting.” — Frolic

AWARD WINNER IN THE BEST NEW FICTION CATEGORY & AWARD-WINNING FINALIST IN THE THRILLER/ADVENTURE CATEGORY OF THE 2021 BEST BOOK AWARDS, AMERICAN BOOK FEST | #1 AMAZON MYSTERY & SUSPENSE BESTSELLER

No More Series Book #1

From the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the first book in a trilogy about love, betrayal, and the secrets families keep.

Forced to choose between abortion or adoption, Olivia Carson’s younger sister, Lily, runs away from home. Sixteen and pregnant, she never returns. But she writes. Once a year, Lily mails a picture of her son, Josh, to Olivia until his thirteenth year. Then it’s Josh himself who arrives at Olivia’s house, alone, terrified, and in possession of a notarized declaration from Lily. It begins, “In the event I go missing…”

Josh has difficulty talking. He can’t read or write, but he’s a prolific artist, exhibiting skill beyond his age. His drawings are as detailed as they are horrific. Olivia soon realizes Josh’s artwork tells a story. There’s more to his arrival and to Lily’s untimely disappearance than it seems. Using the drawings as a road map, Olivia traces Josh’s path back to his mom. Each drawing sheds light on Lily’s past and reveals a darkness that forces Olivia to question everything she thought she knew about her family.

Emerging journalist Adina Gellar is done with dating in New York City. If she’s learned anything from made-for-TV romance movies, it’s that she’ll find love in a small town—the kind with harvest festivals, delightful but quirky characters, and scores of delectable single dudes. So when a big-city real estate magnate targets tiny Pleasant Hollow for development, Adi knows she’s found the perfect story—one that will earn her a position at a coveted online magazine, so she can finally start adulting for real . . . and maybe even find her dream man in the process. 

Only Pleasant Hollow isn’t exactly “pleasant.” There’s no charming bakery, no quaint seasonal festivals, and the residents are more ambivalent than welcoming. The only upside is Finn Adams, who’s more mouthwatering than the homemade cherry pie Adi can’t seem to find—even if he does work for the company she’d hoped to bring down. Suddenly Adi has to wonder if maybe TV got it all wrong after all. But will following her heart mean losing her chance to break into the big time?
This is a first for me: rereading my debut. I have This is a first for me: rereading my debut. I have my reasons 🤐 😉 but it’s been a strange reading experience. By the time my books publish, I’ve read the manuscript dozens of times to the point I won’t read them again once published. I can’t listen to the audiobooks either. Ugh! Wish I could. But with EVERYTHING WE KEEP, I had phrases, sentences, and paragraphs memorized from repetitive reads throughout various revisions. Years later, I anticipate them as I come across them. What’s fascinating to me is how much my writing style has evolved over my novels. Im curious if other authors reread their earlier works. #everythingwekeep #debutnovel #contemporaryromance #suspense #domesticdrama

I’ve been listening to Book Lovers on my daily w I’ve been listening to Book Lovers on my daily walks but yesterday was 104 F and it’s triple digit all week, so yeah. You won’t be seeing me outside. I switched to the digital edition to finish. I’m weird when it comes to audio books. I can’t listen to them while home, even while doing chores. Need music for that. I listen while driving or walking. But it’s only been a few books where I’ve switched back and forth between editions, and I’m kinda loving it. What’s your preferred edition and do you swap between mid book? I’m loving @emilyhenrywrites book btw. The banter between characters is my fav.

A VERY SPECIAL GIVEAWAY!

My friend #LiaMack has graciously provided me two signed copies of her raw and wrenching novel about healing and growth post sexual assault. 

WAITING FOR THE PAINT TO DRY is a beautiful story I believe all my readers will enjoy. Why? Because the book isn’t only fiction and entertaining (yes, you’ll laugh), it’s HEALING and EMPOWERING for survivors of sexual assault. 

That’s why Lia wrote this book—to help support others who’ve suffered the same trauma, and to let them know there’s a LIGHT at the end of the trauma healing tunnel. 

To enter the giveaway:

🌸 COMMENT with a flower emoji. (The lily is a symbol of hope and healing for victims of sexual assault so I thought flowers would be appropriate.)

🌸 TAG a friend who would enjoy this novel. 

🌸 SHARE this post to your Instagram stories/Facebook feed. Because the best way to help victims heal is to share stories that can help them on their healing journey. 

•••

Two winners will be selected, one on Instagram and one on Facebook. This giveaway isn’t associated with Meta. Winners will be contacted Monday 7/18.
