I’ll be going to a book club! Details soon.
February 2023
Author Dianne Burckhardt has an outstanding podcast called Book Banter, where I was extremely honored to be a guest. We had a great time talking about my books, Italian culture, and more.
Not only did I have the greatest time chatting at Spellbound Bookstore (see picture below), but now signed copies of both of my books are available there! It’s the coziest, cutest bookstore in central Florida, so go and visit when you can.
The Visitor is in a new store location! Prometheus Esoterica is the most unique store I’ve ever seen. They sell coffee, jewelry, New Age items (see why my book is there?), and so much more! If you’re in the area, it’s a must-see stop.
Jessica Neaves, genealogist of Heritage Discovered, featured The Difference on this fabulous list!
January 2023
Hope to see you there for this rich discussion of the Italian culture in books. Authors Mario Dell’Olio, Diana Diana Giovinazzo, and Rob Samborn will join me on a panel hosted by Lee Bukowski. View live or afterward in the Bookish Road Trip group feed.
Both of my novels are part of the Florida library system in Key West! Fun Fact: This is the oldest South Florida library. I can’t wait to visit them and have an event there!
I had the unbelievable honor of talking with Camille Pagán, certified coach and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author, about how to proceed with my work in progress, The Gift, in her podcast You Should Write a Book. See her description below and listen to our episode, which I hope provides insight for you as well.
Episode 30, How to expect (and create) success: “Camille coaches C., a novelist who’s debating whether to self-publish her third book. We cover: Why our expectation often becomes our experience Routes to having your book turned into a film project When it’s best to drop a deadline (without giving up your project or goal) The number one thing that makes you a career author.”
December 2022
Christina Consolino, Jen Bouchard, and I are bringing back our holiday author chat, with lots of fun stuff. If you can’t attend live, you can always enjoy the chat later since I’ll share on my IG page…but hope to see you there!
November 2022
What a wonderful time with the Stoneybrook West Book Club! We ate Italian food and talked about both of my books, leaving this author’s heart full of excitement and gratitude.
The Difference and The Visitor were both accepted into the Indie Author Project, which is “a publishing community that includes public libraries, authors, curators, and readers working together to connect library patrons with great indie-published books.” What an honor.

This podcast was a fun-filled chat with authors Sherri Leimkuhler, Meredith R. Stoddard, and I. Don’t be fooled by the title because we kept it clean and sober!
I had my first signing with BOTH of my books in Seaside, FL at Sundog Books. This was the first store that sold The Difference, so it was even more meaningful to me. Plus, what a thrill that I almost sold out!
Look! Both of my books are now in Driftwood Market in Winter Garden, FL. They are also signed by me AND The Difference has a seal on the cover for one of the awards it has won so far, The Next Generation Indie Book Awards. This is the cutest store, so go check it out if you are in the area.

The Visitor is in its first store, which is ironically a New Age store! Spiral Circle Bookstore & More has signed copies of my novel now.
Wine, Women, and Words may be the best time I’ve had on a podcast. Authors Diana Giovinazzo and Michele Leivas are hilarious and instantly made me feel like I was at home. Listen to our conversation and you’ll feel like you’re chatting with friends too.

What a fun interview! The theme of “just say yes” emerged unexpectedly when I spoke about my path in writing and publishing. Enjoy!
Another author dream achieved! I was invited to speak at the Jacksonville, FL Italian American club. They treated me to lunch and wonderful conversation before my speech, then scooped up The Difference. I’ll never forget that special day.
I was featured in OrlandoVoyager, an online publication, as a local rising star! They gave me the opportunity to speak about how my culture influences my novels and author life. What a wonderful mission they have to feature local artists, entrepreneurs, and independent businesses.
March 2022
The National Italian American Foundation featured The Difference in their Spring 2022 edition of Ambassador Magazine. Flipping through the pages and seeing my book was a total surprise, and one I’ll never forget. I’m extremely honored they chose my debut book and had such kind words.
I’m honored to be a tour guide for the Bookish Road Trip! They asked and I said “Yes!” My current role is managing the Instagram account while engaging in many other exciting opportunities with readers, writers, and travel lovers. “We are an upbeat and growing community of travelers and book lovers who enjoy taking road trips virtually, in person, and through our imaginations in pursuit of our next great read… Get Lost With Us!”

I’m thrilled to have another book signing AND that The Difference is being sold in this wonderful store!

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by J.J. Barnes of The Table Read, an entertainment and creativity magazine. Her questions allowed me to express challenges in publishing, story elements of The Difference, the role of mental health in my main character, and more. Bonus: She even made a pin on Pinterest, so visit the site to follow both of us there.
This interview is so special to me because Cheryl Burman (author of Keepers) and I met by my pitch party services. Now we are friends! She added sweet, thoughtful pictures to her author guest spot that covers unique topics like secret aspects of my books and a ‘literary pilgrimage’ I may have taken. Read to find out!
