YOU GUYS!!! I am SO excited for this fun new feature called “You’ll Never Believe” (where authors tell us a crazy, outrageous, fun, fate or … pretty much any kind of true story that happened to them, and we are kicking it off with one of our favorite authors, THE Audrey Carlan, and what a fun story she tells!!! I have my very own true story that matches this one, so I’m especially excited.

P.S. We’re also celebrating Audrey’s re-releases of her 1,001 Dark Nights books (“A Christmas Auction” & “Madam Alana” that have all been re-released today! She, and Blue Box Press are today’s newsletter sponsors.) read more

Lots of growth and discovery). read more
