Copperfish Books

After months of writing, more months of editing, more months of publishing, and a few more months of marketing, there’s nothing like seeing your book in a bookstore!

Pinch me!!

A huge thank you to Copperfish Books in Punta Gorda, Florida for carrying Turtle Tube: An Erutuf National Park Novel! I am so honored to have my book in this beautiful store! Love the staff, book selections, and store layout here!

Check out their adorable children’s section:

I highly recommend checking out this awesome bookstore if you’re in the area in Florida and you also can visit their website and order online.

Library Shelfie Day

Happy Library Shelfie Day! Yes, it’s a thing!

The New York Public Library created Library Shelfie Day back in 2014 and it’s celebrated on the fourth Wednesday of January each day. On this day, go and enjoy many photos on social media and blogs of books on shelves. Look for the #LibraryShelfieDay. Escape the news and work deadlines and check out some fun book photos!

And maybe you’ll even find a new book to check out and read! 🙂

Stories

Twenty years ago, I had my very first date with my man. ❤️

For this date, he took me out for coffee at Borders in Chicago near our apartments at the time.

Corner of Broadway, Clark, and Diversey in Chicago many years ago

It seems fitting now that our relationship started surrounded by tons of others stories. Stories filled with adventures, plot twists, characters, and love. Stories of inspiration, history, and magic.

I have loved each moment of our story over these years and I can’t wait for our future chapters.

Cheers to starting our special story 20 years ago! ❤️
