Dream a Little Dream
The Sequel
Publication Date June 2025
In this follow-up to South of Happily, Katy Kiss has moved on from the trauma of a failed marriage and the worst year of her life — at least that’s what she’s telling herself. So why is she having nightmares about a mysterious stranger lurking in the darkness?
She’s agitated, her future is unsettled, and her relationship with Nickety-Nick is perplexing. They’re talking again, but does talking mean dating, or does it mean…well, she doesn’t know what it means.
She downplays her anxiety during therapy, but Dr. Jonas suspects something more serious is brewing. As peculiar as Katy is, nodding off during an appointment is a first.
What Katy won’t admit is that she’s day-sleeping instead of night-sleeping. The dreams are scaring her. When she’s awake, the paranoia sets in, as does the urge to body slam anyone who startles her.
In Dream a Little Dream, the storm is rolling in. Katy’s umbrella is torn, her shoes are soggy, and she has no clue she’s in the eye of the most shocking Kiss family secret yet.
This emotional narrative weaves together the ubiquitous humor, heartache, and rich history of an immigrant family as Katy grapples with the consequences of well-intentioned deception.
