The Gift released today!

I'm thrilled that today is finally to the day you can get your hands on my 3rd novel, The Gift!

Here's a blurb from a review that featured my book:
Besides introducing problems that many of us face and characters that feel genuine, the novel features tantalizing culinary tastes, mesmerizing musical elements, and compelling glimpses into Italian culture. Such sumptuous writing will transport audiences.. A blend of flavors and textures that will entice any reader, The Gift is a modern-day midlife adventure about being brave enough to find and follow our passion.
– Jennifer Jackson, Indies Today
