AUGUST News!  

Hello Friends!

 

Well, July flew by at warped speed. Did it go by as quickly for you? I always put the skids on at the beginning of August because I know school starts up at the end of the month. This month began with college essay tutoring one-on-one with ten rising seniors. I always love working on these with my students because the topics highlight their passions. 

 

Authors Talking Bookish released its third episode on July 19th. I do hope you have tuned in. Hope Gibbs and I are finding our groove and having fun with it. You can listen on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and watch on YouTube. Remember to check out our website for show notes, free downloads and more. And follow us on Instagram.

 

I spent two weeks in Europe, along with eighteen family members; we visited Rome, then took a Mediterranean cruise to Amalfi & Pompeii, Italy, Kusadasi and Istanbul, Turkey, and Crete, Mykonos and Athens, Greece. My husband and I, along with my dad and his wife, spent three additional days in Santorini. Mykonos and Santorini have long been on my bucket list and they did not disappoint–beautiful blue waters, winding alleyways, perfect for getting lost (in a good way), and the people and food were amazing!

All That is Sacred NEWS!

I’m excited to announce that my audiobook is on preorder! Another pinch-me moment. Tantor Audio is producing it and the talented, award-winning Xe Sands is narrating. I got to hear her read one chapter thus far and I was blown away by how well she embodies Lynn’s voice.

You can preorder NOW by clicking the button below.

All That is Sacred has been a bestseller amongst Red Adept Publishing books for three straight months! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support. If you are looking for additional books to add to your summer reading, I hope you’ll consider these.

Amazing reviews have been coming in as I just wrapped up Suzy Approved Book tours. I’ve also gotten a number of reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I encourage you, if you haven’t done so already, to write a short review on Amazon in particular. It helps debut authors more than you know. Also ask your friends who are reading to write a review (just a starred review and a few words works).

I’ve done a number of events and have met some very cool people. I also scheduled a several bookclub events for the upcoming month. I’m excited to hear what people are thinking about my novel. If you have a bookclub and feature All That is Sacred, I’d love to attend. I’ll bring some stories, fun swag and a trivia game. 

 

These are my updated tour dates for the month thus far (in person and virtual). I hope to see you there!

Of Lies and Honey NEWS!

I’m awaiting line edits for Of Lies and Honey and I just filled out an application for an audio book. I’m looking forward to getting my wishlist for the cover, and soon thereafter I should have a release date. I can’t believe things are taking shape for my 2nd book! It’s like having that second child, knowing how fast it all goes in retrospect, and you want to slow it down but time keeps moving.

 

I'll leave you with a teaser aesthetic for book two.

I absolutely love being on this journey with you and wish you an amazing rest of summer. Enjoy!

 

Until next time…

  3. A tour of an olive farm & the spread that followed (it felt like I was back in my grandmother's kitchen)

  4. Getting lost among the alleyways in Mykonos

  5. The view from our terrace in Santorini

  6. Interacting with the Greeks; they are so welcoming and interesting

  7. Spending time with family (priceless)
