Thank you for stopping by! This will be the place to keep track of the launch and life of my debut novel, Wish, a book that culminates many years of perseverance and pulled hair. Throughout the course of the next several months, prior to Wish’s release in May of 2014, I’ll fill you in on exciting events, upcoming promotions, where I might be showing up for signings or speaking engagements, and tidbits on the entire saga — researching, writing, landing an agent and publisher, and the eventual release of Wish.

And when that mysterious “Book #2” begins to take shape, this will be the place to peek into the world and mind of a writer. It’s kind of dusty. With cobwebs. And lots and lots of echoes.

The whole life of Wish to this point has been quite a ride. Roller coaster-ish, you could say, and one with a really — really — long climb at the beginning. Perhaps not as long as other authors have experienced, but long enough if you ask my family.

You’ll have the option of sharing these posts on your social media pages — please do! — and, at times, leaving your own comments (mostly when I remember to flip them on). I’ll try to link back and forth to my Facebook and Twitter pages, and you can help by sharing-retweeting-hashtagging-liking-pinning-whateverothersocialmedialingothereisfortelling yourfriendsTHISBOOKISREALLYCOOL! As you’ll see in other pages of the website, we are trying to do some pretty special things with Wish, and your simple sharing will help the impact.

And the first thing I hope you share is… the cover!
