Sometimes, Twitter can make beautiful things happen. Romance writer Jasmine Guillory, known for The Proposal and The Wedding Date, found inspiration after a friend tweeted about her desperate need for a romantic novel about a single mom whose daughter was becoming a duchess, which just so happens to be the life story of Doria Ragland, mother of Meghan Markle. Guillory first volunteered to write the book as a joke, but after a few enthusiastic, all-caps tweets back and forth, she decided she’d actually do it for real. Titled The Royal Holiday, the novel will go on sale October 1. The author took to the inspirational platform to announce the steamy new book.

I have a story for you today, Twitter. Remember this tweet?
