A little something extra

One of the main characters, Keegan, is an autistic greeting card designer. His sentiments are often the sorts of things we wish we could say, but our culture teaches us to ....um....be less honest. Sometimes his greetings are downright bizarre but they make perfect sense to him. I have So much fun coming up with “Keegan cards.”

I’ll be signing the 5 hardcover copies we’re giving away on Goodreads. And... each recipient will receive a Keegan card and a small bookmark. It’s not much, but I always like to do a little something extra.

I’m so very thankful for the supportive community on Goodreads.

😊

I hope that we can deepen our level of understanding of autistic perspectives and move beyond awareness to acceptance. That's the primary reason I wrote The Insiders Club. This month the book has reached #5 on the Amazon charts within its category. I've been overwhelmed by the support. The Insiders Club
