Love Without End is Here!

My latest book,Love Without End, had a release date of 11/18/14 all this year. I knew that the bookstarted arriving in stores around the first of this month because readers told me they’d found it and bought it.

Suddenly the release date was 11/11/14, and ebooks started arriving on readers.

October Wrap Up

And another month gets checked off the calendar. November is here already. Today, November 1st, is National Authors Day. That’s kind of cool.
