HAPPY MONDAY!!! I’m putting together the latest and greatest EARLY book releases as we speak, so keep checking in while I update today’s list. 🙂

Three things:

1.) *sigh* my mood/fashion sense has changed so much in the last half decade and after doing a serious clean-out of my closet, I donated half, and now I am having so much fun adding my favorite pieces to Poshmark. It’s so hard letting some of these go, but I just don’t see myself wearing the majority of it (a lot of “going out” stuff) and while I DO still go out, it’s just not to the same places. read more

MAFIA ROMANCE BY ONE OF MY (OUR) FAVORITE AUTHORS & this series pretty much took my colleagues by storm!!! So here’s the fun story, and then I think we should all jump in and read this one.

Because I had sooooo many to choose from, so what better than book #1 from a series by one of my absolute favorite authors ever. She’s the queen of unexpected endings and jaw-dropping twists and all the clever and intense things in between. INCLUDING STEAM!!! read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story?
