About The Author

The Upcoming Book

  • Can you tell us about your upcoming novel?
  • When will your book be published?
  • Do you plan to self-publish?

Yes! It's a romantic comedy 🙂

I want to say more, but need to hold off for now. Too many moving parts. As soon as I can share some details, I'll send them through my newsletter and provide an update here.

There is a solid chance it will be this century. First, I have to finish writing it. I will provide updates as we get closer to the miracle of birth.

There are several ways to release a book into the world and each approach has different pros and cons, depending on your personal goals. My goals for writing a novel are to learn as much as possible, write the best book I can, and get it to the readers who will love it.

I can learn a lot from an experienced literary agent, so I'm looking into traditional publishing first. If I don't find an agent who is a great fit with me and my book, then I'll likely self-publish. I'll let you know how it goes!

The Writing Process

Engagement and Events

  • How can readers stay updated on your latest news and releases?
  • Do you have contests for readers?
  • Can readers contact you directly?

The best way to stay in the know is to sign up for my newsletter. I will share all book updates there, as well as share more detail about my writing process and progress. I'll also post updates on my blog and through social media, including Instagram and Facebook.

Yes, I do! I hold Reader Input Challenges where I ask readers for input I might use in my book. Readers have shared some super creative and fun ideas, including the name of the local bar and pool hall, the type of plant that plays a starring role in several scenes, the name of the used bookstore and café, and the car our heroine drives. Check out the blog for future challenges and your chance to win prizes (and possibly see your idea featured in the novel!) I'll announce the contests through the newsletter and social media.

Absolutely! You can email me at [email protected], send a note through the Contact form on my website, or drop a comment on my blog or a social media post. I'd love to hear from you!
