How is it still January?

Hello, lovely readers!

I'm still working on the latest book. I'm somewhere around 11 chapters in. I keep getting sidetracked by other projects. My plan is to have my current WIP (work-in-progress) finished by summertime.

This year's probably going to be a little crazy with three books out by the end of the year (including Left on Main), but I appreciate you coming along for the journey.

If you want to see what's next on Medium, a few of the posts schedule to come out include:
One Person's Crazy Ex is Another Person's Soulmate
We Need to Stop Saying This at the Beginning of Relationships
Your Wordy, Nerdy Love Affair
51 Ways to Treat Yourself Today
The Other Shoe Always Drops

Right on Walton (coming from Sands Press on April 30th) has been edited and is being formatted now for publication. Woot-woot! You can pre-order it online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, or at a bookstore near you.

Deep in the Heart of Madison will be out in September, and Waiting for the Girl Next Door will drop April of 2021.

If you've read and enjoyed Left on Main, please leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. TIA!

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.

Did you know???
There's a preview to my second book, Right on Walton, in the back of the first. There will be a preview to the third in the second. If you enjoyed Left on Main, you can already pre-order Right on Walton.

So, why would you? Can't you just buy it later?

Sure! But on Amazon, pre-orders help you get the BEST price. If the price drops for any reason, you'll get that one. Plus, you'll have it in your hands on the release date rather than having to wait for delivery. It's kind of a big deal. You should totally drop everything and buy it right now. Unless you're holding a child. Or a puppy. Gently sit them down, and pre-order your copy today.

Did you further know that Amazon reviews can help sales? Not only does it let other readers know that you thought the book was a great read, it also gets Amazon's attention to help it get promoted on their site. Goodreads reviews also help boost sales.

"Running into the creepy basement while being chased by the axe murderer seems really stupid from the comfort of a theater seat with a bucket of butter-soaked popcorn in our laps. But is it any smarter to date, bed, or wed the person who’s already shown us that they don’t really value us?"

"I look at a succulent I’m clearly murdering, and I figure out that I’ve loved it too hard, cared too much. It wanted so much less of my attention, and I began to wonder if my enthusiasm for love could be interpreted as smothering rather than nurturing. No one was saying it, but in a moment of insight, I realized that if different plants have different needs, so do different people."
