She spent a little over twenty-four hours with the attractive, creative, always moving, slightly chaotic writer, Ed DeArmas. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree years ago, Hattie tried to reconnect with Ed at a signing for his book. Nothing went right. She was late for the event and when she finally handed Ed the book to sign, he didn't recognize her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, on the cusp of turning thirty, she's about as far from her dream life list as she's ever been. Divorced, unexpectedly out of a job, still unpublished and doesn't own the small town bookstore that has been an aspiration since she was a child. Ready for a break from life, she agrees to spend the summer in Fortune Falls on the Oregon Coast with her two best friends and their partners. She's stunned to find that one of them has brought a guest-Ed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrown together for the summer, both working on drafts of new novels, both single, both attracted to each other, but Ed still doesn't remember her from their day together. Or does he?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs they get closer, Hattie also grows attached to Fortune Falls, while Ed makes it very clear he would never want to live in a place so small.

With a degree in the arts and no solid plan, she's held many different jobs; barista, photographer's assistant, toy store clerk, and yoga instructor at a retreat in Puerto Rico to name a few. All of which serve as hands on research and inspiration for her books. When she's not writing, you can find her working at the library, painting with my little girl, or working on her podcast, So I Wrote a Book...Now What, where she interviews fellow authors (including New York Times best-seller Holly Gramazio) about their revision process.","brand":"Story Club Books LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51580196913426,"sku":"9798999441409","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d9014580-134a-4c78-92c5-2bb2aa2418e8.jpg?v=1756210918","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-now-in-forever-9798999441409","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
