Why I'm Launching TO LOVE AGAIN First in My Own Store

When I first started writing the Anderssons series, I knew these books would be very close to my heart. They’re not just stories about love and second chances — they’re stories about family, about Lapland, and about finding a place to belong. Which is why, for the launch of To Love Again, I wanted to do something special.

Instead of releasing the book everywhere at once, I'm choosing to give my own readers early access through my online store, helenahalmebooks.com.

Here’s why.

A more personal connection

When you buy directly from my store, the book comes straight from me to you — no middlemen, no delay. I see your order come through, and I know it’s one of my readers supporting my work directly. It feels a little bit like handing you the book in person, and that personal connection means the world to me.

Early access (and a special price)

Readers who buy from helenahalmebooks.com can dive into Elsa and Victor’s story two weeks before anyone else. This is my way of saying thank you for being here, following along on my writing journey, and supporting these books from the very beginning. For this early release, I’ve also set a special launch price of just $1.99 — available only in my store.

Supporting independent publishing

When you purchase directly, more of the proceeds go back into supporting my writing — and into creating future stories. That means more Andersson family drama, more Nordic landscapes, and more love stories for you to enjoy. Every direct sale helps keep indie publishing thriving.

A heartfelt thank you

Whether you’ve been with me since To Melt a Frozen Heart, or you’re discovering the Anderssons for the first time with To Love Again, I’m so grateful to have you here. Launching this book in my own store first is a way to give something back: a chance to read the story early, and to share in this moment with me before it goes out into the wider world.

So, if you’d like to be among the very first to read To Love Again, you can get your copy today at HelenaHalmeBooks.com.

Thank you for supporting my stories. I can’t wait to hear what you think of Elsa and Victor’s journey!
