Ill-Behaved Women

Meet the original Ill-Behaved Women, at least in my book!

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I hope you're enjoying the spring sunshine as much as my orchids are. I repotted and cut away their old dead roots last summer and am blown away by their response:

I'm also thrilled to be able share the preorder links for Florida Girls—my forthcoming novel about the troupe of touring swimsuit models who take on the Tampa mafia — available anywhere books are sold. Squeeee!

I couldn't stop turning the pages... and now I can't wait for the next one!
-David Warner, Creative Pinellas Board President and former editor, Creative Loafing

Be the first to own it by preordering here:

(Or if ebooks are your jam, this button will take you to all the e–retailers)

In case you're wondering why authors bang on about preorders... they're kind of a big deal in the book world. They not only help books get into bookstores, they help increase their "searchability" online. Also, they’re a sign that I should keep doing what I love, writing stories for you.

Nobody owes any author pre-orders, so I want you to know I don’t take your support for granted. It’s not every day someone decides to back a book before it hits the shelves. I'm so excited that right now, I'm putting together an exclusive download of deleted scenes and bonus material, just for preorder-ers. (Don't think that's a word either, but you know what I mean. Yes?)

The deleted scenes contain spoilers, so don't expect to see the download for preorders until closer to May 28!

If you end up loving these characters as much as I do—and yes, writing this story inspired my newsletter, Ill-Behaved Women—I hope you feel inclined to share this book with others. It’s those personal recommendations that can really give a book wings.

Order now to be the first to own it, and please share the news!

Florida Girls HITS the SHELVES May 28th!

Hello Reader, and Happy New Year! I could not be more grateful than I am for the year you've made possible. Look what we did! Thanks, Creative Loafing! TWO L.L.s?!? And this is just in the last week! I'm encouraged to lean in to believing in my work enough to make bringing you stories a regular thing. If nothing else, I hope this note encourages you to lean in to work/play that calls you, even if you're the only one who hears the sound. Go forth and be your supposedly ill-behaved self,...

Covers of books 1 through 3 of the Queenpin chronicles

Hi Reader, I am THRILLED to share with you that the ebook of Florida Girls, Book One of The Queenpin Chronicles, is now... FREE? If I sound surprised, it's because I AM. I scheduled a promotion that was supposed to start 8/21. Adjusting the pricing takes a few days, so I started the process to give it plenty of time, only to have the price change immediately on most e-retailers. So I’m behind sending out this message to let you know it’s coming, because it’s FREE already! If you're a BookBub...

My forthcoming book has nothing to do with this email but I'm still pretty excited about it. Click the image if you'd like a signed copy. Or if ebooks are your thing, click here. Hi Reader, I fell down a TikTok rabbit hole the other day after coming upon a gripe thread in, well, Threads. I know, I should be spending my one wild and precious life better. But hear me out, it gets worse. I went on to listen to an episode of The Creative Penn, an amazing podcast for writers by Joanna Penn. The...
