Medium subscribers can clap up to 50 times to support their favorite writers, but instead of just clocking claps, Medium now tracks READING time. So, if you're in a story, be sure to read rather than skim to make sure the author (in this case, ME) gets credit. Subscriptions are $4.99/month and directly go to paying writers for our work.
No subscription? No problem! If you run out of free reads, I'm always happy to provide a friend link so you can read for free.
Upcoming Book Signings:
Saturday, December 7th at In High Cotton (in Madison, Georgia) during the Holiday Tour of Homes from 1-3pm
Saturday, December 21st at Barnes & Noble in Athens, Georgia from noon until 4pm
You won't want to miss this! Whether or not you participate in the tour, you'll definitely want to make your way to downtown Madison to snag a coffee from Perk Avenue (I recommend the Cinn & Tell) and check out the festive shops and sales going on during the tour. There are many lunch destinations downtown I'd recommend, and a day in Madison would be a fantastic day trip for Athens or Atlanta-area residents. Come check it out!

Some of the work I've loved best is far from my most popular. If I was a different kind of writer, it might make me doubt myself. But oddly, it doesn't change my love for the work. Honestly, I still love what I love, and I write what I enjoy writing. If you love it, so much the better! If you don't, I still do. I think that's a healthy attitude to have in this business. You can't please everyone; you're not tacos, right?
So, I'd like to share some of my personal favorites, as well as some of my popular hits. If you love what you read, feel free to pass it on. Thank you for your support of my work!
Featured Favorites:
Pearls, Falling Leaves, and Train Cars: Your Life in the Moment Before It's Gone
Under the Glittering Expanse of Stars: The End is Inevitable
My Words are Whiskey
Rooted & Rising
I don't love these any less because they were popular. In fact, these are some of my favorites, too, but they just had more of a commercial success than the others.
If this were a popularity contest:
The Silent Killer of Relationships
Stop Dating Your Unresolved Issues
Signs & Symbols: Identifying Healthy Relationships, Not Just Red Flags
A Road Map to the Relationship You Don't Think Exists
Leaving You for Me
Members: Don't forget to clap up to 50x to show your appreciation.
Non-Members: These are free friend links, so that there's no charge to read. If, however, you want to continue to support my writing and other writers on Medium, you can subscribe for $4.99/month. That fee goes directly to paying writers for our work with your reads and claps. (And I'll get credit if you read my work and then sign up within 30 days, which is a nice new bonus that Medium is providing to writers.)
Did I tell you today that I appreciate you? Because I do!
Tis the season of thanksgiving, followed by the season of plain old giving. As well as goodwill to all. Consider purchasing a copy of Left on Main for a gift this holiday season for a friend or family member who would love a charming, cozy romance filled with characters they'll surely come to love!
Where can you purchase Left on Main?
