Giveaway: Because it’s Women’s Fiction Day!

Read MorePublication -10 weeks: Green Bank Telescope
I am officially ten weeks away from PUBLICATION DAY! A Song For The Road is the story of a musician on a road trip across America, following a smart phone app written for her by the daughter she lost. Planning the road trip was, hands down, the most fun I had writing this book, but…
