BROKEN CHORDS is now an award-winning book!

2/4/2018

When I entered BROKEN CHORDS into this competition, I had zero expectations. Let's just say I've entered a couple book contests in my day. But, my book took an honorable mention! What a fabulous surprise! As this is a horror novella, I'm extra proud as genre fiction can sometimes get lost in the mix, and I love this book so much. (I know I'm a little biased.) 

Get your copy of BROKEN CHORDS here (PAPERBACK and digital editions now available).

​And don't forget, if you're in the Palm Beach, FL area on February 18th, come see me, four other debut authors, and the legendary R. L. Stine at Palm Beach Peril where we'll be doing a panel presentation followed by a book signing (my FIRST book signing! Squee!) I hope to see you there. Find out more about this event HERE.

P2P dreams really DO come true! I signed with an AGENT!

Yes, 'happy-dancing' is a verb, because that's what I'm doing right now. All over the place. Happy-dancing and dissolving into spontaneous smiles. I'm thrilled to announce that I've been offered representation by an incredible literary agent, Dr. Uwe Stender. I'm honored to join #TeamTriada alongside the other talented TriadaUS Literary Agency authors and agents. 

When I received the first tweet from Rebecca Faith Heyman about my Pitch2Publication submission, TEN PAST CLOSING (a young adult thriller), I was through the roof. And it only got better and better after that. I am beyond grateful to Rebecca and the organizer of P2P, Samantha Fountain, and for the support of the other P2P authors. 

Now, it's time to get to work so TEN PAST can find its way onto the shelves. And if anyone is interested, you can read the book blurb on the P2P website right HERE.

Congratulations to the writers who made it to this year's 'Pitch to Publication' editor round. And I'm thrilled to announce that my own submission, TEN PAST CLOSING, a YA thriller, was chosen by my top choice, Rebecca Faith Heyman, for a month of hard work to whip my manuscript into shape. Then, the agent round ... Thanks again to Samantha Fountain and all the editors who donated their time to make this event happen. It's going to be an incredible month!
