LUCKY ONE HUNDRED!

This week Headspace hit a major milestone – 100 ratings on Amazon! 
Five months ago, when this book first released, 100 ratings seemed like such a lofty goal. I couldn’t imagine reaching it before the end of the year, much less holding on to that FIVE STAR rating after so many reviews!I have so many people to thank for this. My amazing publishing team, my incredible editor, my friends and family who supported me, and each and every reader who took the time to read, review, or just mention the book to someone.Thank you, I couldn’t have done it without you.There’s still so much more coming. The next two books of the series are in the works. But while you wait, why not pick up the Headspace audiobooknarrated by the amazing Keri Rabe?

LAUNCH DAY!

HEADSPACE is finally out in the world today! I cannot be more excited, or grateful to the team at Story Cartel Press that made this all possible!
