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 interview was so much fun because I was able to talk about other book favs, including characters I wish I could meet and authors who inspire me. Make sure to read about Camille Pagán, Sophie Kinsella, Ashley R. King, and Mary Kay Andrews and get lost in their outstanding books. Truly amazing people and authors.

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.

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.

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!”

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!
