First, I have preordered and am so excited for the book! Second, your book made a list anticipated mysteries on Goodreads! I took a picture because I was so happy for you!

I have pre-ordered your book and I 100% canNOT believe that HOME AND AWAY wasn’t a huge hit. It’s my favorite of yours and I suggest it to everyone!💕

As you know, I have already pre-ordered your book, and am looking forward to reading it. I love supporting the work of a fellow teacher. I first learned of your work during the pandemic when you did an online book talk at one of your midwestern bookstores. I don’t know how people get promoted by online Facebook book programs like Reading With Robin, Friends and Fiction, or Wine and Words With Wade, but cross-promotion by other authors might help.

If there are any book festivals out your way, that’s another way. In my area, we have the Morristown Festival of Books in the fall, and I traveled to a book festival run by Bookmarks in Winston-Salem, NC in September. The bookstore sold books by the participating authors in advance and at the festival itself, so lots of exposure there.

Finally, not sure if your local public library would let you talk and sell books, but I have heard authors that way. Mary Beth Keane, who wrote The Half Moon, did that and a local indie so,d her books. She was new to me, but I was happy to get her books by the there and get it signed.

Good luck reaching your goal, and good luck with your marathon training.

I believe I pre-ordered your upcoming book some time ago (is there a way to be sure), and I just entered the Goodreads giveaway. I've enjoyed the first three books. Looking forward to this one. Good luck!

Thanks Mary! I have no way of checking… I just see numbers. You could search your email for the receipt?
