There have been book signings (that was somewhat surreal), virtual interviews, a story in The Post-Crescent newspaper, a blurb in The Compass newspaper, a free Kindle version giveaway (2,100 books distributed in 72 hours, wow!), the book has hit […]

CONTINUE READINGBeginning a Second Novel Today!
It’s super exciting to watch the process as my novel is being rolled out to the mass market. First came the launch on Kindle via Amazon.

A World Such as Heaven Intended Cover Choices
It’s getting real now! Just got these two mock ups of potential covers for my novel from my publisher. The publishing date is set for October 1, 2014. I’m looking for feedback.

Hanging out with Johnny Depp
Wife, mother, author, network marketer, grandmother, journalist, proofreader, Kangen Water girl, photographer, did I forget to mention actress? Yup, it’s true.
