Revealing the cover to my debut novel: FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT! Out May 4, 2027
A graphic with a blue background and watercolor flowers featuring the colorful cover of Margot Moore’s FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT. Above the cover is the text: “COVER REVEAL” and below is the phrase: “Making her debut May 4”A graphic with blue background and watercolor flowers featuring a book description that reads:

A stay at a Regency-themed resort goes from romp to romance when faking a pretend courtship stirs up real forbidden feelings.

When offered the chance to work as a history consultant at The Ton, Annie Bryce jumps at the opportunity—and the extension on her visa in the United Kingdom. But there’s a catch. The CEO wants her to go undercover as a guest of the Regency-themed immersive resort to gauge staff performance. To be a spy.

Ben—ahem, Lord Benedict Venable—needs to keep this job. The brooding Irish actor is already on thin ice with management, and his acting career hasn’t exactly taken off the way he hoped. When a chance encounter reveals his new “love interest” is no ordinary attendee, Ben makes the only move he has left and offers her a deal….

Ben won’t expose Annie’s secret to the other actors as long as Annie helps Ben keep his job by faking a pretend courtship for the duration of her stay. But as the resort’s Regency plotlines and pre-written romance make way for tantalizing real feelings, scandalous boundaries start to blur. What’s real? What’s part of the show?A graphic featuring the cover of Margot Moore’s FAKING FOR A FORTNIGHT comes it also includes the tagline: “Check in to your Regency era, romance included”

She’s not really on here, so I’m gonna shout about this news for her… @margotmoore.bsky.social was scooped up by Berkley! And goodness do I love this book.
A book deal listing that says Margot Moore's FOR A FORTNIGHT, a contemporary romance pitched as Jen DeLuca's Well Met meets Bridgerton, in which a woman's undercover audition for a job at a Regency-themed resort takes a trope-filled turn when her pretend courtship with the park's brooding nobleman turns into real forbidden feelings, to Sarah Blumenstock at Berkley, in a pre-empt, in a two-book deal, for publication in spring 2027, by Eric Smith at Neighborhood Literary (world).

Do you like getting quill-written snail mail, possibly with a wax seal? If you follow my fox account below and comment “creepy” or “cozy,” I’ll choose someone and write you a bespoke Drabble in this card, and mail it to you! Open worldwide. Repost if you’re feeling kind ❤️

Whose bright idea was it to finish drafting a novel the same month as JordanCon, work performance reviews, and several crazy client deadlines? Mine? Wow that was rude of me.

Since I'm planning for paternity leave at the end of the summer, and not doing any events for a long time after, I put a virtual workshop together. So! If you or someone you know needs a hand polishing up their query + opening pages, this might be for you. www.ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2025/4/...

I thought I was going to finish my first draft this weekend after a very intense week of work, but am instead flying to my grandad’s funeral. Am taking comfort that I’ll be able to spend time with family but also I would very much like to sleep for approximately 4 years if at all possible

Grief has a tendency to come out of nowhere. Recently set my IG to private and was going through the process of removing followers I didn’t know. Scrolled all the way to the bottom to see who my first follower was: a friend from college who passed away in 2023. Talk about a gut punch

Speaking as someone who manages a fairly successful booktok account (for another author), I’m here to gently remind the authors who are constantly self-promoting here: make sure you’re dedicating time to build community with fellow authors and readers. 💙📚

AITA for only telling the woman I love how I feel after we got lost in a cursed mist? Now we’re surrounded by bone creatures and hungry shrubs, and the Seeing Trees aren’t helping the vibe AT ALL, and all she can focus on is why I didn’t say something three years ago. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #UnhingedPit #WIP #F #A
