Big news: My book is finished, and it’s already available for preorder on Amazon! How cool is that? And it gets better: Some of your favorite writers also contributed! For months now I’ve been dying to tell you about the amazing group of women that came together to make this project a reality. I can’t tell you how excited I am that I can finally share their names with you! They are:
and
We had a ton of fun putting this book together, and I think it will show in the finished product.
So, what’s this book all about? Well, in a nutshell…
In Style, Sex, and Substance: 10 Catholic Women Consider the Things that Really Matter, ten of the top Catholic female writers come together to offer tips, encouragement, and a bit of humor for their sisters in the trenches of daily life. From the difficulties of fitting in prayer time to the impact that lots of babies have on intimacy to the unique challenges of the single life, each author digs deep into the issues that real Catholic women think about. With the tone of a group of gals gathered around a bottle of wine, it is sure to be a hit with all Catholic women, whether they need practical tips in areas in which they struggle, words of encouragement, or just a bit of entertainment after a long day.
It will be released in the Spring but, as I mentioned, is available on Amazon for pre-order now! (You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to say that.)
If you have any questions about the book, feel free to leave them in the combox and I’ll do my best to answer them in an upcoming post!
(Oh, and if you’d be so kind as to “Like” the book on Amazon I’d be oh-so grateful! Thank you!)
Thanks for all the prayers and support, friends!

So thrilled for you, Hallie! It looks fantastic–a great lineup, an alluring title, and a chic cover (wait, can I even say that as a guy?)
As a man who thinks women really matter themselves–after all I was born to one, I married one, and I sired at least one–I can’t wait to read the book and discover what they think really matters.
Thank you, Brandon! I never could have done it without your support!
So awesome, Hallie. I totally just placed my pre-order!
Oh my gosh, Dwija! That’s so exciting! You just made my night. :)
Congrats! What fun news. Can’t wait to read. Will it also be release for Kindle?
Yes, it will! :)
When my husband asks why I placed an order on Amazon I can say it is my Birthday present: to me, from me, more to look forward to in the new year and March!!! Can’t Wait ~ Blessings
I love it! And thank you! You’re a peach!
You wrote a BOOK?!? How come nobody told ME?!? Do I get a free copy?
No. Well…okay, but you’re going to have to earn it. ;)
Congratulations! That is awesome!
Thanks, pretty lady!
I am so excited for you! Congratulations! Can’t wait to read the yummies inside.

You are so sweet to me, Kimberlie. Thank you so much!
THE COVER USES YOUR FONT!
Er, but the inside is of course the most important part.
Congratulations!
I KNOW!!! No one in the world better understands what that font means to me than you do, Dorian Speed.
Seriously, I checked it letter for letter. “HONEY SCRIPT!!!! YESSSSS!!!!” I hoped you wouldn’t take my comment as, uh, judging a book by its cover. Har har. Except…for real.
Hey, you can judge this book by its cover because it’s an AWESOME cover. Full props to the OSV design team. And you. ;)
Ha – if I remember correctly, and I know I do – you are the one who picked Honey Script! But I really do think it’s great that the cover art is so in keeping with the theme of your site. AND of course I can’t wait to read the contents.
Congratulations! I can’t wait to read it!
Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
Congratulations on your hard work and on assembling such a great team of writers. I can’t wait to read it.
Thank you! I think you’ll be particularly delighted with Betty D’s chapter. ;)
The world just got a little brighter and lovlier! I cannot wait to get my grubby hands on it!
And I ruined it by spelling “lovelier” wrong…
Ruined, nothing! You’re such a sweetheart! :)
Oh my goodness Hallie. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book and read it. I enjoy so much reading all of these ladies blogs and cannot wait to read this book! So excited for you and congrats!!
Thank you so much, Emily!
Congratulations! Looking forward to it (it’s in my shopping cart on Amazon.ca — yes, Canada). I think I was your first like on both .com and .ca — Do I get a prize? (kidding, of course) ;)
Definitely. ;)
So excited about this! I’ve emailed DH the link as a Christmas HINT! Plus I’ve shamelessly pinned it on my “Gifts for Me” Pinboard. I am so happy for you!
Aw, thank you! My book on Pinterest! How thrilling!
I can’t wait to read it. Congratulations Hallie!
Thank you so much, Helen!
Delurking to say I’ve pre-ordered!
Thank you so much, Leeny! And welcome to delurk-dom! It’s so nice to “meet” you!
Congratulations, Hallie!
Thank you!
Okay, I’ve tried to share in the excitement and leave a woo-hoo comment three times now, but technology is getting all temperamental on me. So here’s take four: Woo-hoo! Congratulations, Hallie. What a great accomplishment for you and your amazing team of writers. I can’t wait to read it (while sipping a cup of vino, of course).
You’re so sweet to keep trying! BTW – I hear you’re going to be speaking at the Behold Conference! I can’t wait to see you again!
I’m stubborn like that.
I’m thrilled that you and Jen will be at the Behold Conference. Now we just need to get more of our pals there, and we’ll have ourselves a little reunion.
Congrats again. The cover looks great and very Betty-ish.
Congratulations to you! Way to go. Looks like a fantastic read! We are blessed to share in your joy!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much!
How exciting! Congratulations! I can’t wait for my copy to show up in Spring!
Thank you, Cam! (And thank you for your sweet post about the book!)
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!!!
Thank you! :)
Congratulations, Hallie! I posted the Amazon pre-order page to Facebook and added it to my “to-read” shelf on Goodreads.
Congrats! Best wishes on a successful launch! Lotsa gals gonna get blessed by this!
awesome! I am praying that I will be able to write those words some day too! Congrats :)
This is going on my Christmas list! Congratulations on your book!
Oh I am SO excited for you! It sounds terrific, and the cover looks fantastic! One important question – if I preorder it, how do I go about getting an autograph? :) Congratulations, Hallie!
Oh my goodness! This is really exciting. I’m thinking we might end up using this for our monthly Catholic wives/moms discussion group. I mean, this is kind of what we talk about anyway…
Congratulations! It’s my turn to pick my book club’s book in the spring. I hope it’s out by then! Sounds fabulous!
