So happy we had a great event to send Betrayed out into the world! Despite the bronchial blahs haunting our part of the world, there was a great turnout. One of the more special moments was meeting a character from my book, Raven Gellerman. I’d donated the right to a character name to a local auction and got to meet the real Raven at my launch. She and her family came out in full force and were absolutely lovely. One of...
Read MoreA student of mine was out and about and photographed this fantastic display at Face in a Book. Thank you, S! Don’t they make a beautiful display? I’ll be there at noon on Sunday to launch Betrayed with wine and light refreshments.

For dogwalkers, that first click of the leash into someone else’s dog’s collar. For writers, it’s going to the bookstore to see your book on display. My local indie had received books but not displayed them yet (upcoming post!), but my...
Read MoreCue the Lion King soundtrack, because here’s where the cycle of life (for a writer) happens. Betrayed, Book 2, launched on Tuesday, and on the next Tuesday (yesterday!) I sent the manuscript for Avenged, Book 3, off to my editor. Lots of tremulous emotions around sending this one off.
