With a teen and a tween at home, I think my life has never been busier! Summer time is no exception. While I have a break from all the school runs, I am still shuttling kids from sports to camps to events and back. I don’t mind. These are the days I know I’ll miss! I soak up every second.

But, it does make writing/editing/reading a little tougher to fit into my day.

I’m thrilled How to Spot a Fake is now available!

I keep saying it but this is truly the book of my heart. I am so happy to see it out in the world and hope readers are enjoying it! (If you do read it, please leave a review if you get a chance)

I have been waking up early and writing with my dear friend, Miss Pamala. We joined the Pizza for Pages writing challenge. Every weekday, we sprint together for 40 minutes at 6:30am. I’m working on a couple different things that might only be for me (what I always say!) and am loving the chance to be creative. Writing really recharges my soul.

So does reading! I have been reading a lot lately (I love that I can sit poolside with a book now. Isn’t that picture above dreamy? It’s not quite like that. But still great.) I absolutely DEVOURED Jesse Q. Sutanto’s Aunties books and highly, highly recommend!

I hope your summer is off to a good start!

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!

I am so excited to share the cover of my next book with you and the news that it’ll be published on June 26th!

From Champagne Book Group, How to Spot a Fake was a top 3 finalist in the 2022 Illinois Soon-To-Be-Famous Manuscript contest.

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…
