Just nice

I noticed this on Goodreads last night from someone who read Jump When Ready. Yep, it made my day (and I was already in a good mood since it was snowing). There’s nothing better than getting this kind of feedback from a reader: 

“A fascinating world, lovable characters and a nail-biter story. What else can one ask for in a novel?" 

Doesn’t that sound like something you’d read on a book cover? Thanks!

Why the radio silence...

Just a quick post since I've been a bit remiss. My apologies but I've been head down finalizing edits on Streetlights Like Fireworks, plus getting the print and ebook covers ready to go. Might be a few more weeks but the new novel will be out soon. I've also been been asked recently whether there might be a sequel to Jump When Ready coming any time in the future. The answer is yes! I have to say, I wanted that one to be stand-alone at first but I haven't been able to resist the story that came to mind. At this point, I'm about half way through a first draft. So, maybe this spring? Not sure. Summer, definitely. Hope you're all doing great and watch for Streetlights Like Fireworks soon!

Kindle Countdown Starting...

In celebration of the Indie Reader review for Jump When Ready and the upcoming release of my new novel, Streetlights Like Fireworks, I've decided to run a Kindle Countdown. What this means is that Jump When Read, will be offered for a limited time only at $0.99.

The clock starts ticking...Saturday!

Indie Reader Approved!

Indie Reader Approved! I was really pleased to learn this morning that Jump When Ready became "Indie Reader Approved." Only books receiving 4 or 5 star ratings on the site receive that designation.

“JUMP WHEN READY combines charm and suspense in a sweet way that leaves the reader completely believing this imagined in-between world.”

Thank you, new readers!

Jump When Ready recently received some really nice reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads. I just wanted to thank those readers for taking the time to rate and review. I can’t tell you how much that’s appreciated. Very cool!

Here are a few comments from recent reviews:

“This is an amazingly fast paced book that you are not going to want to miss!”

“I will be looking out for this author now, it would be nice if there was more books following this story! Please write a sequel.”

"The author paints a wonderfully magical afterlife, sprinkled with teenage wonderment, friendship, family love and an exciting dose of the supernatural to make a story that is just heart warming to read."

“…a thought provoking read that will keep you interested from beginning to end.”

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! Thanks so much to all of you who read and reviewed Jump When Ready. Hoping you all had a wonderful year and a fantastic new one ahead.
