As usual your message was meant for me. Today I returned to the quiet study in the library and sat down with my novel in progress. Im revising the first five pages for a contest submission. 2024 is my year of taking leaps into submission frontier. It’s time to stack up the “no’s” to get to my Yes’s.

I watched Issac and he is the most fun book lover there is. So thrilled your book was part of his enthusiastic pitch to America. I can’t wait to get my pre-order. Good luck on your tour and enjoy the ride. You deserve it.

Thanks to the situation of “once a bookseller, always a bookseller” I still have access to Advance Listening Copies of audio books through Libro.fm and was thrilled to see this book among them. So I’ll have the hard copy and the audio!

Just listened to the interview (loved it! Congrats) and realized after years of following you, that the voice I made up for you in my head is not your voice at all. Lol. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad thing. Just a complete surprise.

Ha! That's really funny. What did you think I sounded like?

I have no idea why but think it was more lyrical in reality. More smooth and a smidge higher than what I made up. Lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just yesterday I was telling Alicia Dara of Womancake Magazine how much I love your new book. I'll post my rave review on Amazon soon; it is on Netgalley and on my Substack.
