It's out!

The Sham was released last week, on the 5th. So far I’ve had a signing at Below the Brine bookshop in Harwichport and last weekend we celebrated the launch at Cape Cod Lavender Farm, which was so beautiful. Amid all of this came the start of school, and a new school for Nolan, so things have been HECTIC. I’m with a small press, so a lot of the marketing falls to me, and this, too, is time-consuming and not quite my favorite thing to spend my time doing. I’d rather just sit and write. However, thank you to everyone who’s shared the book, bought the book, and reviewed the book so far, it takes a little of the load off me from essentially shouting on Instagram and Facebook look at meeeeee look at my bookkkkk please buy my boooook. Ha.

With that said, here I go again: If you are so inclined, please please leave reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, it helps immensely. And, if you want a complimentary PDF version of the book, you can sign up to review it through a service called Booksprout.

Ok enough of that, just here to say it’s out in the world and I’m.so thankful for all the support - from selecting it for your book clubs to sending me pics of your dog reading the book, all of it!!

T-Minutes 15 days!

Updates! 

Let me see, what have I been up to?? Well, early to mid summer, The Sham commanded most of my attention - some last-minute rounds of proofing, audiobook consultation, (one of my favorite parts of this process), and other extraneous stuff. The audiobook sample is here. I love the voice of Margo, the main character. Gritty, a little bitchy, and closed-off. I can’t wait to hear the other main character, a different voice actor—cuz that one gets realllly unhinged.

When that went to print I got a breather, and mid-July to now I clocked about 45K words of a new manuscript, which brings me to about 55K done. 10-15K more to go.

My author copies will come in soon, which gives me anxiety—what if something’s wrong with it, eeeeew - but otherwise exciting.

As for events I have two signings/events so far lined up for September - Below the Brine Signing from 5-7pm on Sunday 9/3, and on Saturday 9/16, same weekend as Cranberry Harvest festival, I’ll be holding a book launch party at Cape Cod Lavender Farm. (Message/email me for details if you didn’t get an invite!). 

Oh, there are 10 days left for the Giveaway. Get on that if you want to enter for a free copy and again, it helps to get the book visible the more people sign up to read/enter. And preorder if you haven’t already!!

Thank you all. xoxox
