Announcing!!
Releasing a book is thrilling. To say the least. Putting my work into the hands of my loyal followers, and even those who haven't read any of my books, after such a glowing review from my editor, is even better. This book truly morphed into something magical.
If you haven't heard the news already, The Aristocrat's Wife will be available on Friday, November 29. Yes, Black Friday. I don't have any shows booked that day, but I'm on the waiting list for one that Saturday and every Saturday until the weekend before Christmas. If you don't want to order online, come see me at a show and get a signed copy!
Stay tuned, and happy reading!
