Bring on the warm weather . . .
Welcome new friends who have joined my emailing list! Whether you signed up via my website or by stopping in to see me at a craft show or event, I'm happy to have you!
Although I can't complain about the winter we had here in central Minnesota, I would still like to see some warmer weather coming. The temperature has been gradually increasing, but a day with seventy or eighty degrees would be blessedly wonderful. While you may hear me dissing the winter weather, you will never hear me complain about the heat.
The Gangster's Mistake had a successful launch last month! I'm still waiting on some much needed reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes & Noble to help push it into the hands of other interested readers. Self-published authors do not joke around when we say we need reviews. If I am to stay alive with this business, I need reviews. Even a star review is sufficient, but a written review of what you honestly think would do wonders. Seriously, I want to keep writing more and more books. I have so many more ideas to get out of my head and into my wonderful readers!
I'm working steadily on my fourth novel, a historical romance about a strong, curious woman who takes a treacherous journey across post-civil war America to find her long-lost brother. Did you read The Duke's Daughter? Did you like Evie? Then you'll love Georgie . . .
Stay tuned, and happy reading!
