Hi there!

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer so far (or winter for my friends in the Southern Hemisphere). Personally, I feel like it's Thanksgiving with how thankful I've been feeling lately. And how could I not? In the past few months, I've had a book launch, spoken at and enjoyed some of the area's best writing events, cheered like a lunatic at my elder daughter's college graduation ceremony, helped creators find their community, and helped launch a brand new scholarship for young artists. More on that a little further down.

I've also got a few more fun events coming up in the next weeks, so I'm just beside myself with gratitude.

Let's get to my news. :)

The GOD AWFUL series is out in the world! 

Fun chat on WTMJ-TV's The Morning Blend.
Book launch at the incomparable Boswell Book Company.
GOD AWFUL REBEL came out April 1st, and with it the series is complete and out in the world! I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to those who attended my launch or sent good wishes my way. Your friendship and support are always precious, as are your emails sharing how much you enjoyed the ride. Cupid sure came a long way, didn't he?

If you haven't yet gotten your copy of REBEL, you can get it through the button below. There's also a second button for you binge readers who've wanted the whole series before you start reading. That link lets you buy all three books: GOD AWFUL LOSER, GOD AWFUL THIEF, and GOD AWFUL REBEL. I hope you love the journey as much as I enjoyed writing it.

If you've already read GOD AWFUL REBEL, I would deeply appreciate your leaving a review on Amazon - even just a few words. Reviews help everyone - authors and readers alike. And my cover snake requestsssssss it. ;) Thanks!

Connecting

I've been to a lot of writing events lately, including conferences, book clubs, and various get togethers.  If you're wanting to write or get together with other readers, I highly suggest you get social. It's such a great way to connect with like-minded people. If you want to chat with me about books, feel free to hit me up on my author page at Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, or my website. OR you can see me at some of my upcoming events, listed further down the page.
