I’m in Jane Friedman’s Blog!!!

Wow! I’m “in” Jane Friedman’s blog. JANE FRIEDMAN!! My author friends are freaking for me right now; I can feel their energy. I’m honored that Jane Friedman posted Michelle Melton Cox’s article about building an author platform where she used me as an example. ME. Michelle, if I could hug you right now, I would.

Thank you so much, Michelle, Jane, Author Accelerator (for the chance to be a writer-in-residence for the Author Accelerator Membership Circle), and Jennie Nash, Abby Lamb Mathews, and Terri LeBlanc.

To my author friends, Michelle Melton Cox’s advice is actionable and spot on. And you can learn more about Michelle here.

Jance, James Rollins, and #1 best-selling author Daniel Silva, as well as celebrity authors like Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Henry Winkler (Happy Days), and Eriq La Salle (E.R., Coming to America).

A Review of Fellow Finalist Rob Hiaasen’s Float Plan

My Review of Float Plan

In last week’s newsletter, I shared the incredible news that Tiger Drive has been nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Award in Popular Fiction. I’m reading the other three finalists’ books. I started with Rob Hiaasen’s Float Plan.

Before I share the synopsis and my review, you should be the first to know, I wish I knew Rob Hiaasen. His novel, Float Plan, has planted a firm author-crush from me onto him because he and I have* something in common: we both write about flawed characters who want to matter.

Tiger Drive Nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Award

Dear Friends,

Last week I cried. I cried hard.

But they were happy tears. Validating tears.

I found out that my debut novel, Tiger Drive, has been nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Award:

“The IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards™, which include over fifty categories recognizing excellence in book editorial and design, are regarded as one of the highest national honors for independent publishers…Gold winners will be announced April 5, 2019, during a gala dinner ceremony held in conjunction with IBPA Publishing University in Chicago, Illinois.”

Why is this recognition so important to me when it’s already been so rewarding and gratifying to see how readers have responded to–even related to–the Sloan Family’s determination to change after generations of family secrets, addiction, and trauma? Why am I thrilled at this ‘shout out’ and pleased with the silver Benjamin, or still possible, gold Benjamin?
