Well, this is embarrassing...You wanted Florida Girls for free?


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 subscriber, you will get this deal emailed to you directly by following me here, because it's a BookBub promotion. If not, why not? They send out amazing deals on quality books all the time, right to your inbox!

Here’s a link to the book on all your favorite platforms where you can get this deal now:

Or go direct to Amazon.com here:

If you already have the book, it makes a great gift! This will be gone soon, so act fast!

What's really exciting about all this is that I was able to launch the preorders for the rest of the series (which folks way smarter than me suggested I do as part of this promo).

Now, you can see (and order) all the Queenpin Chronicles!!! SQUEEEEE! (Be sure you have on "display images"!)

The preorder is up for books 2 and 3.

Incredibly, I have already sold advance copies and this is the first time I'm announcing they're available. That means people want to read the next one, and the one after that. That just means THE WORLD to me. Thank you for your trust!

Right now, Vegas Girls is in the final stages of editing. It will be out January 1, 2025.

Tag line: Sometimes what happens in Vegas stays with you.

A redemption tale. But whose? You can start reading it here if you haven't already downloaded it. It may be my favorite...

Though I've just begun writing Havana Girls, so my fave is subject to change. (The tag line for Havana Girls is, Some revolutions start with a whisper.

THAT book will be out in June 2025.

In the meantime, don't be surprised if I'm not posting much on socials or sending out a lot of emails. I have my work cut out for me!

Which reminds me, the audiobook of Florida Girls, narrated by the fantastic Rickel Hayes, will be out in September!!!

As always, hit me back with any questions or comments. And THANK YOU for making this journey a blast. Here are some pics from the summer tour. If you‘re looking for a signed copy, there are a few at the Barnes & Noble Orland Park.

Or maybe I’ll see you at another reading this fall?

Cheers,

PS: Why not share this news with a friend? Just hit forward!

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,...
