If you would have told me fifteen years ago that my life would be so shaped by technology, I would have laughed in your face. Across the board, I’ve been a late-adopter to so many conveniences that I now can’t live without (smart phone, tablet, digital camera).

But I was an early adopter for ONE thing, ereaders. I have and still use my original Kindle. I love how easy it is to buy and start a new book (who doesn’t love that when you’re on vacation?). And I love being able to click on the hyperlinks at the end of the novel (hint hint) to quickly leave a review and check out what else the author has available. 

As a self-publisher (and hybrid publisher), I love the lower price point I’m able to offer readers. (And if you read a lot of romance, be sure to check out the Kindle Unlimited program.) In telling so many people about my novels in the fall, though, I heard from a lot of friends and family that still prefer to read in print. 

I’m excited to announce that both Anchored in the Bay (True North Book 1) and Tiny Island Summer (True North Book 2) are now available for purchase in paperback on Amazon. Be sure to check it out and I will be releasing future books in both ebook and paperback formats.

I love small town settings. And small islands? That’s even better.

Both my True North series and my sweet romance series, Golden Shores are set in real-life locations. Curious to learn more?  I’ve started using pinterest to create boards about these destinations.

After clicking here to nominate Tidal Patterns (Golden Shores Book 1) for a publishing contract with Kindle Press (hint hint nudge nudge), check out the board here to learn more about the stunning Golden Isles off the Georgia Coast.

Only a few more hours left to vote! Thanks for your help.

If you haven’t had a chance yet, I’d REALLY appreciate your help supporting Tidal Patterns, my first sweet romance.

Tidal Patterns is up on Kindle Scout and if you nominate it and it’s selected for a Kindle Press publishing contract, you’ll get a copy of the ebook for free. Win, win–right?

Tidal Patterns tells the story of Lizzie Shaw and Mark Edwards. Elizabeth Shaw is the preeminent, and only, wedding planner at the beach resort on Jekyll Island. She’s sure she’ll land the newly created role overseeing all major events. Then she’ll get a raise and won’t be forced to leave. Mark Edwards doesn’t need any more stress. He’s ready to slow down and enjoy the tiny seaside town he calls home. After a decade in catering, he’s sure he can do the events job without any trouble. Neither counted on the other getting in the way.

With a supporting cast including a Newfoundland named Scooter and a 70 year old next-door neighbor/best friend/tap dancer named Rose, this book was fun to write and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Check Tidal Patterns out here and please click nominate (bonus points if you spread the word). Your support means the world to me, thank you so much! And this book has now inspired it’s own series. Be on the lookout for more sweet romance stories from me in the Golden Shores series.
