Do you prefer New or Tried-and-True?
Join my new online home for a peek at my author life and book news!
I get it. Beginnings are hard. Give it a try!
There’s comfort in tradition, yet excitement in something new! Today, we have a bit of both. Whether we know each other through books, work, an event, or elsewhere, I’m thrilled that we’re connected. This is our spot to share book news, writing insights and more…with a streamlined new look. You’re welcome here, so scroll and relax!
1. Stories that inspire hope and empathy
The world can be an intense place - just look at our news headlines at the moment. Literature matters in the midst of that ambiguity. It helps us make sense of human motivations and learn from history.
Readers have let me know that my Goodbye Orchid series touches them and taught them about disability awareness. This means a lot to me, as my mission is to inspire hope and empathy for people and planet.
2. Literary community
So please stay connected through this Substack, reply back with the topics that are on your mind, and let’s build deeper empathy through literature together!
3. All are welcome
You’ll hear from me about once a month, when I’ll share a behind-the-scenes look at my author life and introduce new books. Feel free to share my newsletter with friends and family!
4. What’s new: have you been on TV?
Have you ever been on TV? I had my first experience last week on WFMZ TV, with lovely news anchor Eve Russo. We spoke about books and more, in honor of Women’s History Month! Check out our interview here.
