[image error]The Wisconsin Library Association has chosen A Patron Saint for Junior Bridesmaids as an Outstanding Book for 2017.

I’m thrilled to be recognized by librarians in my home state for a book that’s so close to my heart.

I started writing Patron Saint 15 years ago. There were times I wanted to rip it to shreds, throw it away and never think about it again. I never dreamed I’d finish it, let alone get it published and be recognized for it.

Patience. Persistance. Faith.

Struggling writers, hang in there.

It happens.
