Death often makes us stop and reflect upon our own lives.

When this happened to Penelope, she didn't like what she saw.

So she changed it.

A lovely reader left a really long 2-star review frustrated that my protagonist felt jealous that a man had peace he didn't have and basically berated (the protagonist) for not appreciating his life more and said that my book will now be donated to Goodwill.

Thanks for reading! 🫠

Count your days printer company in Cleveland, OH that only printed 20% of my books on the correct paper. A pox on your house! 😑

In job news, I'm quietly waiting for my RIF notice while simultaneously praying for a miracle of reassignment (probably not going to happen).

I went from 36 reviews to 1000 from August 2024 until now.

How? I ran a small ad and found my readers. I've been publishing since 2017 but never tried to market my book until last fall. After watching a bunch of videos, I found a happy medium. I may scale up, I may not, but either way, yay!

Penelope was a dutiful daughter, taking all the daily abuse from her family.

Then Tony saved her from a gunman on a train.

The second chance of life takes her on a journey of self-discovery. What she finds is heartbreaking and beautiful.

Got a crazy 1-star review that was a bit unhinged, almost to the point I was wondering if it was really meant for my book πŸ˜„

But, alas, thanks for reading, I think?

Some scars can make you invisible--until you become the keeper of everyone else's secrets.

We moved into this house in 2020, and this thorny, barren rose bush was in the front. I watered it, but it never came back to life--until Mother's Day 2022, 3 months after my mom died. Now it comes back in its beautiful pink glory every May. 🩷🌹
