I feel like swinging from a chandelier. Too bad I don't have one of those handy.

No worries, my 1920's novel, Ramble and Roar is out! It's been a crazy journey in making this book. It started as an idea in 2008, and now it's 2018 and available to buy. Over the last ten years, I've researched the roaring 20s, moved three different times, had two children, started a hobby farm, wrote several drafts. (And that's just some of it).

There were times when I wondered if this book would find it's way into publication. I dreamed of holding it in my hands, smelling the pages fresh off the press, and clasping it to my heart, thanking God. Most of the time, dreams only happen in our sleep. When we open our eyes, the dream ends and reality begins again. But once in a while, our most delightful dreams do become our reality.

Today, I'm fully awake and this dream is real. I've published Ramble and Roar. It’s an adventurous story about a debutante-turned-flapper named Eliza Belcourt who travels to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a famous jazz singer. But her sparkling dream comes with a price, and the Irish mob is ready to collect.

As Eliza grasps for success and love, she finds that her city of bright promise might offer only dazzling lies.

Ramble and Roar is an honest, daring story that captures the pleasure–seeking decade of the 1920s in all its glory and grit.

This story was a fun challenge for me to write. It took years of research in order to capture it accurately, but I’m pleased to finally share it. Now, all that’s left to do is to continue dreaming of the next adventure.
