I hope this finds you safe and warm, your power working, and your troubles behind you. Lent has started and with it, my intention to be more mindful with my schedule. It’s only been a few days but I’m feeling very good about things.

Lots of fun links today, and some wonderful news about HER DARK LIES. We’re only a few weeks from launch and it’s time to shift gears to all the fun events and conversations I’ve been participating in.

Onward!

HER DARK LIES IS COMING MARCH 9!

I'm incredibly honored Publishers Weekly gave HER DARK LIES a starred review. When you put a book into the world, you never know how it will be received. You hope for the best, of course, but it's out of your control. This review was a gratifying relief.  I cannot wait for you to have a copy in your hands come March 9. It's right around the corner!

Preorder your copy of HER DARK LIES today!

I participated in a wonderful chat with authors Wendy Walker and Christina McDonald to celebrate the launch of Christina’s new novel, DO NO HARM. We were hosted by the Cuyahoga Public Library, and moderated perfectly by Ron Block. We discussed everything from book outlining to life secrets, and it was a super fun night.
