Announcing Mirror Me’s Official Book Launch Event!!

So honored to be back at my beloved local bookstore: Watchung Booksellers, in conversation with my wonderful friend, the brilliant author, Judith Lindbergh. Details below. Click here to register for the event. Hope to see you there!

So thrilled to announce that Mirror Me is an Amazon First Reads pick for the month of November! If you are a Prime member, you can download the ebook free (to your Kindle or Kindle app) up until the official publication date of December 1.

There is a chill in the air, candy corn on sale at CVS, an abundance of unruly pumpkins blocking the south entrance to ACME, and a handful of last year’s Sexy Pizza Rat costumes out on the clearance rack at Party City. The perfect time to talk about SUSPENSE WRITING!

I’m pleased to be a co-presenter along with authors Liz Alterman, Libby Cudmore, and Laura Sims at The Writers Circle’s upcoming event: The Thrill of Suspense: Four Authors on the Art of Crafting Spine-Tingling Fiction, on Sunday, October 27, at Calvary Episcopal Church: 31 Woodland Ave, Summit, NJ 07901.
