Book Release Week: Time to Party!

This Sunday, I’ll be standing in my favorite bookstore reading from my book. It’s literally a dream come true, and while I’ve still got a little voice telling me how embarrassing/cringe this all is, I’m letting myself be excited. It’s also my birthday today, so I’m feeling all celebratory and reflective. Maybe even a bit proud.

You still have a few days to pre-order yourself a copy and get the bonus stuff:

  • Autographed copy of the book
  • Bookmark with links to a photo collage and Spotify playlist for all 52 stories
  • A printed and autographed copy of an additional story not in the book titled Through the Glass Windshield

Thanks for cheering me on.


Books, books and more books.

Giant sign for the event.

Shipping boxes.

My pretty pen for signing books.

Stickers, anyone?


And here’s some pretty flowers blooming in my garden, because it’s Spring and I’m feeling all hopeful and stuff.

    • Thank you. I’ve wanted to write a book for a long time, but told myself I needed to get better at my craft first. It feels nice to finish this book and know it’s only a start. I can still grow and write the next thing, each time getter better and better. I’ve got a ton more ideas in the works and now I have a better grasp at what the self-publishing stuff looks like.

    • Thanks! I’m so very grateful for your support and encouragement. If you still come to visit later this year, I’ll take you to a few of our local bookstores. A new one just opened up with a focus on fantasy/sc-fi. They are hosting me for a second signing at the end of May.

      • Awesome. It is still in the plan unless they can’t keep the planes in the skies. I swear, all these plane crashes this year…

        I have to set it up with the facility I am visiting still, but looking forward to the opportunity to see you and see your city.

    (what a lovely pen, what brand/style is that?)

    • Absolutely, Dawn! It’s such a big step forward for me, but as my birthday has reminded me, I’m not getting any younger. Isn’t if funny that the only thing holding me back all this time was me? My husband is a bit of a pen aficionado and got the pen for me. It’s called the Kaweco Sport and you can get one at jetpens.com
