Book Release TODAY: Picture This

 


I am excited to announce the release of my new novella, Picture This on Amazon, TODAY! 

It is available for Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in soft cover! CLICK HERE to order.


Carmen Sloan was married at a young age to a man she knew she would spend the rest of her life. She owned her own home, was attending college, and was quickly moving towards the life of her dreams.

After her husband Joe becomes sick, Carmen finds herself living an unrecognizable life, dealing with guilt and sadness daily. Walking to work at a pizza shop to wait tables, while her husband sat holed up in their home, was not the vision she had for her future.

A series of selfish decisions bring Carmen to a place of darkness. Dark secrets begin to wear on her, so she decides to admit her secrets to her husband, the one she used to love more than herself.

Just as Carmen makes a fresh start and life begins to bring her peace, an ugly part of her past drags her back into darkness. Will a broken heart be the death of her?

Picture This is a story of love, strength, secrets, darkness, and new beginnings.

Writers Corner: Fall writing tips





Fall is officially here! I have put together some fall-inspired tips and ideas to help us get into the season.


Seasonal tips:
  • Dress for success: Get out your comfy sweaters, pants, and socks, it's time to write
  • Hot drinks: Stock up on coffee, hot cocoa, and teas... these are a must when writing in autumn
  • Writing outdoors: Take it outside...write with your laptop on the porch or in the park
  • Writing from home: No porch or park available? Open the house windows and enjoy the fresh air while writing
  • Reading: Take your book and a blanket outside and enjoy the sun

Topic and computer tips:
  • Change your background picture on your computer to something fall-related
  • Take fall-inspired photos to post on social media
  • Start a blog and write fall-related posts: weather, clothing, books, and foods
  • If you write articles online, write a few fall-related articles
Now, grab some friends or family and go pick a pumpkin! (Take a picture for social media!)
