The hardcover is still in process, as is the e-book. It will also be available on Ingram (they take a while!) and through Spineless Reads, an indie online AND brick-and-mortar store, for those of you who prefer to support small businesses. (I’m right there on the shop home page!)

Here is the link to my book on Spineless Reads:

I personally love to support small businesses, especially indie book stores! Not to mention, Spineless Reads is a local shop to me! SO WIN WIN! YAY!

Speaking of local…My book is also at the Hampton, VA Barnes & Noble, and on December 13th, I will be there at 1:00pm for another book signing event. Here is the info on that for those who would love to come and chat and say hello! I would love to see you there!

also wanted to share on of my latest posts (that did very well) with you from my Instagram account, which is where I spend the most time, and honestly, I get the most views and interaction. Different platforms get different results for everyone, and you never know where you will get the most action, until you try. You just have to keep posting to find out.

November was one helluva month. It started out pretty stressful and then went into a full blown illness, which totally sucked. Everyone in my family was sick. Thankfully, we were much better by my husband’s birthday, and Thanksgiving.

This year we began a new family tradition of “themed Thanksgiving” and this year it was “MadMen/1960’s.” We chose this particular theme because we have been redecorating and updating our home with a lot of Mid-Century modern furnature. I figured, “why not go with it all the way?” and so we did! LOL! We even served cocktails straight out of the show, and I used the exact cookbook Betty Draper had on her counter in many episodes!

Next year, we will select another decade or time period again, but I’m not sure which yet. In 2026 we will have more time to think of what the theme will be. The 1960’s was easy, as we all had items in our closet that were suited. For some reason I keep thinking “goth” for next year? Maybe an Edgar Allen Poe vibe? Who knows! We will come up with something good I’m sure.

I wanted to thank everyone who has supported me on my author journey in 2025. Thank you so much for joining me! There is much more to come, including book 3 and audio books just around the corner, so make sure to check my socials and this blog, so you don’t miss all the updates and fun!

Wishing you all a very beautiful holiday season, and a fabulous New Year!

LOVE TO YOU ALL!
