When You Love a Book (+ My Cover)


When you love a book…

You set it free.


I’m not exactly sure what to credit for the decision, after years invested in my craft, to put my work out there. (My novella, THE DISAPPEARING KEY releases early this October.)

Do I give props to Sarah Bareilles prompting me to be brave or is an enormous show of gratitude necessary for the excellent material I recently discovered in DARING GREATLY? Curious…the timing of when I spotted this book on the library shelf and thought to myself, Now this looks like a good read.

Mostly, it comes down to that niggling in my gut that my words are ready to be read—my stories are ready to be felt. I’ve received affirmation of this on many levels but it was essential I waited until I was ready.

And I am now.

I love this novella.

And this October it’s time to set it free and into your hands. As we wait for my novels to have their day in the sun, it’s my hope that you’ll thoroughly enjoy this taste of my writing. This is both a vulnerable and exhilarating process.

Can’t wait to discover what you think!

Ever do something that was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time?

*Attention book clubbers—THE DISAPPEARING KEY was written with book clubs in mind. Not sure when you make your selections for the year, but I’d love for you to throw my novella on your list. It’s shorter than a full-length novel, but the meat is there. I’ll also be posting book club discussion questions on my blog soon after the release.

**I’d love to guest post on your blog or answer interview questions for you. Shoot me a message & I’ll be in touch!
