Hello friends!

It's been an interesting past few months to say the least. Between finishing up my 3rd (and final) college degree, homeschooling my three children, taking care of the horses, and frantically getting plants in the ground for the garden, (we had snow up until a little over a week ago), working on edits from my awesome editor at Scott Editorial, setting up a marketing plan, and just plain enjoying the sunshine and warmth we've been without for the past 6 months. As you can see in this newsletter, I have added a new author friend to my connections and she is from Ireland! I've featured her book below and I can't wait for you to check it out. I have also made some changes to my newsletter format for which I hope you enjoy and appreciate. You will notice that all links are within the book cover images and all you need to do is click each one. I've also grouped the books for better organization; and finally, I've updated my signature logo to amp up the author vibe. Grab a book, find a cozy nook, and let's take an adventure! Talk soon!

'A GREAT BEGINNING TO A FASCINATING SERIES' - THE BOOK DRAGON An emotional coming-of-age story that's inspiring! Set amidst Germany's beautiful landscape with well-developed characters, this atmospheric novel is perfect for those who love Ginny Myers Sain, Sheena Meyer, or Jodi Picoult. Jenelyn's family has followed a strange tradition for the past five generations called the Journey. Listening to the ethereal Spirits they believe will guide them, they travel away from home at eighteen to find the place they truly belong. Now, it's Jenelyn's turn to leave her home in Los Angeles and travels to Germany, where she hopes to hear from the Spirits to guide her, not knowing how long this quest will be or where it will take her. Luckily she has help; two of her parent's friends, Gretchen and Laszlo, have offered to host her at their home in the small German town, Wittlich. Jenelyn enjoys their friendly nature, but as time passes, she learns of a dark family secret and an evil legend that haunts the town. The dark legend and tragic secret create a dangerous mystery, but to solve it, Jenelyn must put her own life at risk while discovering from the Spirits the most surprising part of her Journey, and ultimately, her future.
