SECOND CHANCES AVAILABLE IN PRINT!!!

I GOT AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!

Second Chances, my latest release that received a 4.5 star review and Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews is now available in print. I was told it would be after Christmas before it was available, but there it is, all bright and shiny, at the Amazon.com store.

It is part of their 4-for-3 deal and is also available for their super shipping/free shipping with orders over $25.00. A win-win all around.

You can order directly from CreateSpace e-store HERE or from Amazon.com HERE.

HINT: It would make a terrific After-Christmas present for all your family and friends. LOL

On a more serious note, I wish all my friends, family, and fellow readers a joyous and happy holiday season. May your hearts be filled with the celebrations of the season and may your cup run over with joy and love.

SECOND CHANCES A TOP PICK!!!

SURPRISE!!!

Second Chances was reviewed by Night Owl Reviews and received 4.5 stars and a TOP PICK rating from reviewer, Diana Coyle. I am thrilled that she enjoyed Second Chances and loved Ryan and Rose's story as much as I love it.

I loved how the author wove a very intricate storyline with plenty of intriguing details that led to the final reveal . . . I highly recommend it and look forward to seeing what other stories this talented author already has available.


You can read the entire review HERE.

My other big news is that Second Chances will soon be available in PRINT! I got the proof copy in the mail and as soon as I've reviewed it, it will go up for sale.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks for dropping by and spending a few minutes with me.

This morning I received a review for Desperate Choices, my romantic suspense with paranormal elements, published by Carina Press. This book has been out for over 2 years, so I'm thrilled and excited that people are still reading (and apparently loving) this book!

Desperate Choices is special to me because (a) it was the very first book I every completed from start to finish (b) it was a very first published novel.

You can go and read the complete review HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
