Elmhurst Native Unveils 3rd Novel

ELMHURST, IL – An Elmhurst native released her third paperback novel this week. A previous one is sold nationwide, she said.

Emily Bond, who still lives in town, is a breast cancer survivor, who has related her experience online.

Her new novel is titled, "Sort of Seeing Someone."

"This was an incredible feat, my first book after having a baby and cancer diagnosis," Bond told Patch in an email.

The book is about a character named Moonie Miller. On Moonie's 26th birthday, she develops the ability to see people's futures by touching palms.

"Before she knows it, influencers launch her into the world of Insta-witches," Bond wrote in a news release. "Moonie is determined to keep her never-for-sale visions under wraps – until she shakes hands with Olrik Zetterlind. Super cute, super analytical, and super Swedish, this tall, blond engineer is everything she never wants in The One. Opposites might attract, but how long can 'Chicago’s most popular witch' and Sweden’s most analytical export really last?"

In the release, Bond said, "I had a blast inventing Moonie’s ‘gift’ and creating a romantic connection that felt clever and real."

Bond's debut novel was "Hot Mess." Her next one was "Husband Material," which is sold in stores nationwide, including Target and Kroger.

She said her new novel is available wherever books are sold.
