Cause of Death Celebration + Giveaway

Okay, so last week was a little rocky.  My first book was published … dream come true.  And then none were available … worst nightmare.

Exactly one week and a bunch of kind of contentious emails and phone calls later, the problem has been solved.  It was a really strange week because I wanted to be excited that my book came out, but I didn’t know how things were going to play out or when the problem was going to be solved.  It was really hard to cope with watching my dream hang in purgatory.

I was honestly kind of worried I wouldn’t be able to get excited again after I kind of had to stop and sit and wait.  I felt sad and angry and then just numb … the emotions too much to deal with for my brain and body.

But once the problem was solved and I was signing a few books, the excitement returned.  I am thrilled my dream has come true!  Beyond words excited you can now order and receive a copy of Cause of Death from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.  I even threw the confetti from some Pat McGrath makeup packaging in the air (those videos are on Instagram 🙂 ) and opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

I love this book.  Sometimes I super seriously cannot believe I wrote it.  It’s a twisty domestic thriller with some main characters who all move to the beat of their own drum and believe the lies they tell themselves and each other.

If you have ordered already, thank you so much.  If you haven’t received your book yet, it should now be on its way – woo hoo!  Once you read, I would be honored if you would leave an awesome review on Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble for other people who might just stumble upon it.

If you haven’t ordered yet, please know each sale means so much to me.  My art is finally making it out into the world and that is freaking cool.  My mind is kind of blown, and I can really add this to the list of things I cannot believe are actually occurring in my life.

Once you order, feel free to send me your address and I will send you a signed bookplate to stick inside.  If you want to try for a signed copy, I am giving away one personalized signed copy right here, right now.  Use the widget below to enter.

Again, thank you for your support.  Please know each order, each time you tell a friend, each review, it all means so much to me.  I am forever grateful to all of you. xoxo

    I got my book today!! Such a cool cover and of course, I read the book in one day so I can’t wait to read it again. As a matter of fact, I think I will start reading it again today…. It’s that freaking good!

Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston a Still can't believe I got to meet Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul last night!  I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
