A New Adventure

Hi Friends,

I am back from my big summer road trip.  How big was it you ask? Well here are the numbers:

Our trip by the numbers:

Days on the road: 24

Beds slept in: 8

Cities/towns visited: 11

Animals visited: 13

Phone chargers lost: 2

Hours in the car: 64

States driven through: 14

Miles traveled: 4,277

Friends visited: countless

During that time I attended the GCLS conference and did a reading at my favorite bookstore in St. Louis, both of which I will post about in upcoming blogs.  It was an amazing ride, but it also very quite wonderful to be back at home.  I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed for multiple nights in a row and enjoying the little luxuries or being still for a bit.

However, now that my physical adventures have settled down for the time being, I find it time to focus on a journey of another kind. This one has less to do with the car and more to do with my career. As you all know, I have been a proud lesbian romance author for the last seven years. The lesbian fiction community has given me so much joy, support, and love over that time, and I hope nothing about that will change. I still intend to put the bulk of my time, energy, and heart into producing quality novels, but now, in addition to my writing, I will also be starting a job in social media.

It is with great pleasure that I announce I’ve accepted a position as the new Director of Social Media for Bywater Books.

Those of you who follow this blog and Facebook know how much I adore the opportunities the internet provides for personal interactions with readers and writers. I believe fostering the relationships that bind our community together is one of the most important things we can do to keep our community strong. I find that work to be both personally and professionally fulfilling, so I’m thrilled that I get to combine another one of my passions with my work.

I hope each and every one of you will join me on this new adventure, both by continuing to follow this blog and also by liking/following Bywater Books in Facebook and Twitter.

Onward!
