Thanks for celebrating with me!

I want to thank everyone for coming out to help me celebrate the release of THE SEA KING.

Every book is a unique journey for me, and I never know where it will take me or what it will bring. That not knowing—that element of surprise and anticipation—is what keeps me writing. I sincerely hope you enjoy the adventure of Summer and Dilys as much as I do. And I hope you will be with me for many adventures yet to come! Because the other part that keeps me writing, besides the adventure itself, is meeting fellow readers and sharing our mutual love of books and writing a book that makes you happy to have read it.

So thank YOU, each of you, for making this book release such a splendid, happy celebration for me! Thank you for sharing my excitement, my anticipation, and the thrill of sending a new story out into the world.

I’ll be announcing my Release Day Celebration Event winners on my author page on Facebook later today (like and follow me, please, if you haven’t already!). And if you aren’t already aware, there’s a 3rd grand prize in the offing…see below for details!

Happy reading, my friends!
