Dear Reader,

THANK YOU for jumping on board to be an early reader in exchange for an honest Amazon review of my forthcoming memoir, Florida Girls.

You can listen to me read the prologue now by clicking here!

Right now, the book is with the editor. I'm hoping to also have a cover design for you when the ARCs are ready, too.

Florida Girls, launches May 28, the first in a series I'm tentatively calling The Queenpin Chronicles.

A Queenpin is a mob boss lady (though it's sometimes hyphenated, I'm claiming it as one word). I wanted the series title to help hint at the grittiness of the subject matter, suggest suspense, and glamour.

I'll be in touch.

Yours,

Author | Screenwriter | Story Coach

Psst! If you're in or around Tampa, I'll be reading Jan 17 at the Read Herring series. I'd love to see you, and if you bring your book I promise to sign it!

Covers of books 1 through 3 of the Queenpin chronicles

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...

Coming Saturday, a guide to using AI

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...
