Sara Goodman Confino is the bestselling author of seven novels: Off the Record, Don’t Forget to Write, Good Grief, Behind Every Good Man, She’s Up to No Good, For the Love of Friends, and the upcoming It's a Shore Thing. After spending more years than she’s willing to publicly admit teaching high school English and journalism, she is currently writing full time and trying to make a living off of the crazy stories in her head. She lives in Montgomery County, Maryland with her husband, two sons, and two miniature schnauzers. When she’s not writing or frantically parenting, she can be found on the Peloton, at the beach, or at a Bruce Springsteen concert, sometimes even dancing onstage.
When we were in Avalon, back in June, we were walking to the beach one day and saw the owner of one of the most unique houses on the island outside. My kids consider themselves the town greeters when we’re here, saying hi to absolutely everyone they see (to my introverted horror) and my 9yo told him that they love his house and asked if it was a real room at the top. To our surprise and delight, he invited us up for a look at the top and told us the whole history of the house, which started as a Coast Guard station in the 1800s! It was the absolute highlight of the trip and probably the coolest experience I’ve had in all my years of coming here.
So when we came back this week, we brought him a copy of Don’t Forget to Write as a thank you. The house is on 15th Street and Marilyn and Ada absolutely would have been able to see it from their house on 18th! 🩷

I unequivocally look nothing like Shakira. But late 90s me looked a whole lot like late 90s Shakira… 🤣

Hopping on this trend…
If you’ve noticed I’ve been kind of quiet this summer, the reason is two-fold: 1) YES, I am hard at work on my next book and 2) Off the Record’s sales have been slower than I was hoping for.
I hate pity marketing. I’m not going for that. I still have numbers that a lot of authors would kill for and I know that. And I keep joking that it’s gonna be a grower not a show-er (listen, I’m a romance author. Deal with it). But the reality is that has me totally and completely freaked out and in my head.
So if you haven’t picked up Off the Record (or any of my backlist yet, really), now is the perfect time—you not only get a fun and funny read, you also get to help me feel like I don’t suck. Because that mean voice in my head is telling me that it’s definitely a me problem.
Okay, pity party over. Happy reading!

My little buddy and I are hard at work today.
Rosie always used to sit with me while I wrote. When we lost her, Sandy started taking over.
