It’s been a minute since I’ve blogged and it’s a little like getting out of bed the day after an arduous workout – I’m a like creaky, my muscles feel tight, but I know once I get warmed up things will be great.
Lots of amazing things happened over my little hiatus. Rising Star was honored as a finalist in the 2022 International Book Awards (this is the second time my first book has won this distinction in a literary contest😊). Burning Bright received rave reviews and I had my first in-store book signing at my local Barnes & Noble in Aliso Viejo, CA. I sold over five hundred of my first two books and I completed the final book in my series (more on that in next week’s post). It has been a great few months for me professionally and I can finally say with some certainty that I am an author. Believe it or not, it wasn’t until recently that I have truly started to feel like one.
Now that summer is here, I am looking forward to sharing my experience writing my third book, Falling Star, which was quite different than my previous two books. I’m excited for long unscheduled sunny days, beach trips, balmy nights, BBQ’s and lots of time with family and friends. More importantly, I am happy to be back sharing all the funny, quirky and uncomfortable things I experience in this sometimes grueling quest to keep chasing my dreams. Thanks for being patient while I took some much needed time to write. Now it’s time to have some fun.
