I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've written a post and I wanted to take a moment to talk about a few events that are coming up. First off, I'm holding a book launch party for Secret Hunger this weekend, Saturday June 13th from 12 - 3 PM. It's going to be held… Continue reading Book Launch Party and New England Author Expo

Secret Hunger Proof Copy!
https://youtu.be/-2129ij8eg0 I will probably write an actual post sometime later this week. But, for now - check it out! Okay, I'll admit, I got a little shiver when I opened the box and saw the physical copy of my book for the first time. Hopefully, no matter how many books I end up writing, I'll… Continue reading Secret Hunger Proof Copy!
Secret Hunger’s First Week
Wow. Can you believe it's already been a week since I published Secret Hunger? This first week out of the gate I concentrated on uploading my print files to CreateSpace, reserved a place for my book launch party on June 13th, and wrote a few dozen book bloggers asking if they would consider reviewing my… Continue reading Secret Hunger’s First Week
Secret Hunger is Now Available!
Aaahhh! Can you believe it? Secret Hunger went live late yesterday afternoon and is now available for sale on Amazon. Which means I'm officially a published author! Holy cow, that's cool. I feel like shouting it from the rooftops. In a way, it's hard for me to believe the culmination of this two year journey… Continue reading Secret Hunger is Now Available!

This primarily involved an emphasis on sales and a focus on increasing “wallet share” of large account holders. In order to make this… Continue reading Social Media and Marketing
Taking the “Brutal” Out of Honesty
Brutal honesty. Now, there is a phrase that I’m sure we’re all familiar with. It’s the idea that one has to be ruthless when telling someone the truth as they see it. It’s not a practice that I agree with. In fact, I think it’s detrimental to the way our society communicates as a whole.… Continue reading Taking the “Brutal” Out of Honesty
I Write, Therefore I Am
I’ve read a couple of articles this past week that got me to thinking about the title “Writer.” One of them is by a newly met friend named Elizabeth Rose who wrote a great post called, “I am a Writer…” She talks about being uncomfortable when being asked to introduce herself and never quite knowing… Continue reading I Write, Therefore I Am
Beta Beta Bo-Beta!
Last Friday, I received the final batch of chapters from my editor and spent all weekend working on them. I feel a little bad for my husband, sometimes. Not only do I work throughout the week, but there have been many weekends this past year where I've sequestered myself in the office, as well. Luckily,… Continue reading Beta Beta Bo-Beta!
