It’s FINALLY here!


Today is the day that I thought would never come… Secrets of Shadow Hill: Always and Forever is finally available for everyone to read.  I am a ball of nerves as I think about someone other than a family member reading my story. 
I hope that all of my readers will enjoy the story of Shadow Hill and fall in love with the characters the way I have!  
The journey of this long and somewhat daunting process of writing novel, then trying to have it published, to actually being able to hold a book  that I wrote in my hands has been an awesome experience and well worth the hard work.  
Thank you all for your support and be sure to get your copy today at Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and c1books.us/always today!  Kindle version will be available by the weekend!

Be sure to write a review of Secrets of Shadow Hill: Always and Forever an Amazon.com to help spread the word of this exciting novel!

    It is hard to believe that after all of the planning and waiting for the release of Secrets of Shadow Hill: Always and Forever, that it is only one week away....7 days.  It still doesn't quite feel real yet.
    I have been working hard on Book 3 of the Secrets of Shadow Hill series a lot lately.  I have a notepad next to my bed becasue lately I have found myslef waking up with ideas for how I want my story to go, or for a line I want to use for a certain event in the book.  It seems it is all I think about these days, which is a lot better than laying in bed at night worrying about all of the little things I usually worry about....I am a worrier:)
    Writing has always been an outlet for me and I am beyond excited that I now have a focus and purpose in my writing.  I have always wanted to challenge myself and see if I could sustain the dedication and focus it takes to write a novel, let alone several.  Having 3 young children and working full time as a teaacher I often get asked "How do you do it?"  I do it becasue I love it.  Writing is what I do in my free time...whether it be for an hour or four, I try to write every day.  
    This last week before my book release I wil counting down every minute until November 13th is here.  In the meantime I will have plenty to keep me busy with preapring for Parent/Teacher Conferences for my  Third Grade class, and getting ready for my big trip to Florida to attend the Miami-Dade Book Fair!  For now, Happy reading and writing!
