It’s official! HALF OF WHAT YOU HEAR is available now in bookstores everywhere. It’s been barely 48 hours, and I have yet to see the physical book “out in the wild” but I am so thrilled that it is finding its way into readers’ hands. If you’ve read the book and feel inclined to rate and/or review it on Amazon, BookBub, Goodreads, etc., I would be so grateful. It’s really one of the best ways you can support authors.

And with a book release comes book events! Here’s what’s on the schedule so far:

THURSDAY, JAN 10 @ 7pm: One More Page Books, Arlington VA

TUESDAY, JAN 29 (TIME TBD): Fountain Bookstore, Richmond VA

WEDNESDAY, JAN 30 @ 7pm: Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC

In conversation with Barbara Claypole White

THURSDAY, JAN 31 @ 5pm: Country Bookshop, Southern Pines, NC

WEDS, MAR 20 - SUN, MAR 24: The Virginia Book Festival (exact time/date TBD)

I’m thrilled to announce that Goodreads is offering a second giveaway of HALF OF WHAT YOU HEAR, my new book launching on 12/31.

Hi, there! Welcome to my new website! I’m so glad you’re here!

My latest novel, HALF OF WHAT YOU HEAR, will be released on NEW YEAR’S EVE, and you can bet I will have a glass of champagne in hand to celebrate! I’m so excited to share this book with you. It has something for everyone: a little suspense, a lot of drama, but like my other novels, it is ultimately a story about a woman seeking to find her truest self. I hope you will love it!

On that note, the book is available for pre-order now! Pre-orders are hugely important to authors for a multitude of reasons. They build buzz for a book both among potential readers and booksellers, who will often increase their initial orders for a book if the pre-order numbers are strong. And because pre-orders usually count toward a book’s first week sales, they’re a great way to increase a book’s chances of ending up on a bestseller’s list.

I will be posting all of the latest news about my books and events here, but I would be thrilled if you would consider signing up for my newsletter, which will ensure that you won’t miss a thing. (You have my solemn vow, as an obsessive and ruthless declutterer, that I will never stalk your inbox.) As a thank you for signing up, I’ll send you an exclusive link to the first chapter of HALF OF WHAT YOU HEAR.

You can also find me on social media (mostly Instagram, to be honest), where I post about all sorts of things: reading, writing, the places I love, the little things that inspire my work, and lots and lots (I mean, lots) of dog pics.

Thanks for visiting!
