I am so excited for readers to meet John Smith. If you love cinnamon roll heroes, he is the sweet, good listener of your DREAMS.

I am thrilled/ecstatic/in disbelief that How to Spot a Fake is published!

This book has been on quite a journey. Originally plotted in 2016 as the second of a trilogy, I rewrote and expanded the story to be its own standalone. A year ago, it was a finalist in the Soon to Be Famous Illinois Manuscript contest. That was a huge boost.

The contest is run and judged by librarians. I love libraries and having the support of the program encouraged me to submit it to a publisher.

From the start, Champagne Book Group have been such a champion of this book. I have some other news about How to Spot a Fake that I’ll share when I can (I know, I know! but I have to wait for a while), but in the meantime, I am so happy to share the book with you!

Happy reading!

When the wrong John Smith appears on Lovelyn Pettigrew’s doorstep, is he too good to be true? Or could he be exactly who she needs?

Lovelyn Pettigrew wants to transform the mansion and collection of fine art inherited from her grandmother into a world-class museum. She has one week to submit a proposal to her family foundation. Her parents prefer the museum to operate downtown with a staff they’ve already hired. Her success depends on authenticating the works their curator dismissed. She finds the receipt for the egg rumored to be one of the missing Imperial Faberge works. When she calls the gallery in London, she is given an email address to send proof of the artifact.

Her email reaches the wrong John Smith.

Finishing his degree in art conservation, John is passionate about art. One of many side hustles to afford life in Chicago, he runs a website dedicated to tracking down tips about some of the most famous missing works of art. When he checks his inbox, he is floored by the contents of the email. With weeks until he graduates from university as a mature, thirty-year-old student, he is looking for a full-time position and the correspondence could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Working side-by-side, John and Lovelyn grow close and their mutual respect deepens into something more. When the mistaken identity is revealed, shocking them both, they must choose between the future or each other. He might not be who she expected, but could he be exactly who she needs?

And…drum roll…
