My Favorite Review!

This is the reason I write, to tell a story that will touch someone. Thank you Alicia, for giving my book to your friend for her 50th birthday and for sharing these words.

“Funny, I laughed reading through the whole thing. She is so me. Was she stalking me? Her character's life so paralleled mine. Really, her girlfriend marrying her high school sweetheart? hmmmmm. Even her relationship with her boyfriend and the calling stand off - Me and Joe all the time! And the passage when her dad dies, literally the exact words were uttered when my mom called me when my brother died. Scary Scary Scary. And Joe and I are in the same place in our relationship. He wants more, I want less. He hates my independence and does things to thwart my independence, to beat me to the punch so to speak. Funny, funny, funny. I saw myself all over this book, except I don't have a hunky ex-boyfriend waiting in the wings to sweep me off my feet! Thank you! What a great gift. Too bad she hasn't written more. I read the book in one night - couldn't put it down! “

Book Launch/Signing

My book launch last week was such fun. Flourish Studios is a fabulous venue, Mikki Williams was great (video coming soon to a YouTube near you) and the audience was amazing. Thanks to all who came - I appreciate your support!

Mr. Right-Enough Goes International

One of my marketing strategies is to give away copies of my book, extracting only a promise that after the recipient reads it she will pass it along to friends and will write a review for me on Amazon.com.
So, Mr. Right-Enough is travelin'! And going international with Penny and Judy from Canada.

Left are Jay and Karen Sullivan from Texas, whom I met in NYC. And on the flight home I gave my book to two flight attendants. Unfortunately I didn't get their names or their picture but it was the noon United flight from Laguardia on October 3rd so if you're reading this please send me your names and email addresses!
One of them looked at the book and said, "Oh, I've heard about this book!" Well, can you imagine how that felt???

Maybe you'll see me on the street and get a free copy. If not you can get yours at Amazon.com.

Book Launch/Signing

I'm just back from my book launch party and am on a high that will probably keep me awake all night. It was a great event in a wonderful space (Flourish Studios) with fabulous attendees. Not least of whom was Mikki Williams who introduced me in her inimitable style. You have to see the shoes she was wearing - pictures to follow.
