I've been pretty absent here. Partly because I feel like I'm speaking into a vacuum, same as on Threads, which is a bummer. Second, I'm dealing with pinched nerves, steroid shots, yadda yadda yadda. But I have a book coming out Tuesday, so thought I should mention it! 😉🩷 #booksky #romancelandia

From the strange happenings department: Think I almost hit Cris Collinsworth with my car today. Was driving through a parking lot, a guy walks out in front of me, I put on the brakes, and it's him. I was in the area where he lives, so this is actually plausible. But still nutty. #sports

And this is why authors are always asking you to preorder.
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!

I've written a lot of books with cats in them. The romance in THE CHRISTMAS BOX, however, involves an adorable rescue dog. Relieved to report my cat readership still remains strong. 😻😉

When Twitter was young, I was full of pithy observations about life in 140 characters or less. Then the gift fled me. But my eyebrows are filling back in 8 yrs after chemo, so sometimes things return unexpectedly! For now, tho, I'll prob mostly talk about my books here & absorb the pith of others.

The Onion wins auction for Alex Jones' media company
The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Proceeds will go to paying down the $1.5 billion debt that Jones owes families of Sandy Hook shooting victims who won two defamation suits against him.

New here and trying to learn the ropes, so I suppose an intro post is in order. I write heartwarming, funny, romantic books, often of the small town variety but not always. I'm all about joy and positivity whenever possible! I'd love to connect with people in the #romancelandia community! #booksky
