Come See Me at PRIDE LITCON – June 14th

Because my book came out in the last days of March, I was too late to apply for a lot of summer festivals and conventions ( I have racked up a lot of dates for this fall) – but I am excited to say a table opened up at Pride Lit Con here in RVA and I will be tabling with these other great authors.

Join me on June 14th at Pride LitCon in Richmond, VA, where you’ll be able to meet FIFTY authors of LGBT stories! Get your tickets at www.pridelitcon.com.

Podcast with The Tattooed Buddha

I was so excited to sit down with Dana Gornall from The Tattooed Buddha and talk about my novel, The Space Between Breaths. We talked about the journey of being traditionally published, how I create deep characters, and the challenges of Buddhist Fiction.

Give it a listen!

Please Review My Book! Instructions on this post.

I’m begging you.  No, wait.  I’m not BEGGING you.

Okay, Yes. Yes, I’m begging you – or at least asking you with a lot of heart.

You’ve been so encouraging to me about this book from the first word I wrote to the book launches and notes you have sent. I am so very grateful to you all.
Now, I need one more ask.
My publisher has asked me to send out a call and ask for reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. It is incredibly important to book publishers who are not the Big 5 to get as many reviews as they can because of algorithms and (techno blah blah blah).
So if you have finished the book, please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads (or both) or other forums you use.
For Amazon,
You don’t have to buy the book to leave a review, but Amazon has to know you’re a real customer—not a literary ghost. 👻📚 so as long as you have purchased $50 worth from Amazon in the last 12 months you can leave a review by:
1. Signing on to your Amazon Account
2. Go to the book’s page on Amazon (example: The Space Between Breaths).
3. Scroll down until you see the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ratings and click “Write a customer review.”
4. Pick your star rating (1–5 stars).
5. Write a short review — even one sentence like “Loved it!” or “Didn’t click with me.” is great.
6. Click “Submit.” You’re done!
For Goodreads
🌟 No purchase needed—just your love of books and a moment to share.
1. Go to Goodreads.com and log in (or create a free account).
2. Search for the book (example: The Space Between Breaths).
3. Click on the book, then click the stars under the cover to give it a rating.
4, After you rate it, you’ll see the option to “Write a review.”
5. Type a few words or your full thoughts, then click “Save.”
FINAL NOTE: I understand it is a complicated time and there are rightful issues with Amazon. I am a published writer and I don’t have a choice of where the publisher places the book or what they need. In order for Brother Mockingbird, my publisher, to stay solvent, Amazon and the algorithms are part of their reality.
If you don’t feel good about leaving a review on Amazon, then please don’t do it, but do understand my need to ask.

Oh What A Day -Williamsburg Book Launch

I’m sorry it took me so long, but as you can guess , it is a crazy busy time.  The Williamsburg launch was so amazing!  Really, the kind of thing authors dream about while waiting for that first acceptance letter to come.

I was so lucky to meet amazing people, have fun book conversations, reconnect with friends I hadn’t seen since I moved my office from Williamsburg and spend time with my adopted Sis and Mom (they adopted me as a “honorary family member”).  The food was incredible and I would recommend Thai Tara to anyone.

Here’s some pic of the fun.   I am just starting to set up more signings and I’ll be letting you know about those soon!

Richmond Book Launch – So Much Fun

What an amazing event!!!

I want to thank everyone who attended or sent good wishes to my Richmond book launch!  It was so much fun to see and share the moment with all of you.

Thank you to Katherine Watson and the folks at Office Alternatives who catered the event, provided the space, and filled the place with posters and balloons as well as gave me the memento of a lifetime.

There will be other book signings, other books, other stuff — BUT — you only get one first book launch – and this one was incredible. Here’s a few fun pics.

Box-O-Books

Saturday I got my first Box-O-Books from Brother Mockingbird to prepare for my book launch on March 28th.  Sooo exciting.  Richmond friends, there’s still plenty of time to sign up and attend the launch.  Register HERE.

The publisher noted there has been a little lag in the pre-sale opening as it takes time for the information to filter down to all the websites but as soon as presale info goes up!  I will let you know.
