I did my research! I knew some of my colleagues would turn up their noses or snicker under their breath, but writers weren't who I wanted to buy my self published novels! It's YOU, my readers!!
I did the unthinkable! I STARTED TO DO THINGS TO REACH YOU! MY READERS!
Eventually the publishing tide started to turn and the self publishing stigma began to go away making the line between traditional publishing and self publishing becoming blurred. . .very blurred. My colleagues began to call me, they wanted to know how I did it. How did I make all of the bestseller lists?
My heart was over joyed! With authors like me, the self publishing ceiling was being blown up into little pieces. I was paving the way for others to start their publishing journey on a successful road with all of the trial and error I had been doing along the way. Of course I picked up tips, as well as other picking up tips from me, on creative ways to continue on a successful self publishing journey. BUT the reader was and always will be the number one goal in my writing career.
As the years have ticked by, with 15 novels under my publishing belt, I'm sooooo excited to FINALLY announce:
I MADE THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER LIST WITH TWO NOVELS THIS WEEK!!!
STRUNG OUT TO DIE debut is at #129 and THE PERFECT TEN box set (A CHARMING CRIME) is #118 on the list.
It's such an honor! I'm so grateful to each and every single one of you for supporting me along this amazing and fun journey!

STRUNG OUT TO DIE
**BONUS BEADED BRACELET PATTERN IN THE BOOK**
Holly Harper's life is finally getting back on the right track after her divorce from "what's his name." She and a group of divorcees have formed a strong bond plotting creative ways to get back at their exes and created a self-help group known as The Divorced Divas where their meetings are held in Holly's bead store, The Beaded Dragonfly.
It’s no secret that Holly’s ex husband, Sean Harper, and the wealthiest bachelor in Swanee, Doug Sloan, don’t get along because Sean is constantly fixing all of Doug’s shoddy handy man work. Plus all the Divas would love to get their claws in some of Doug’s money.
When Doug ends up dead on the floor of The Beaded Dragonfly with a string of cat eye beads around his neck, it’s up to Holly to figure out whose framing her.
