More about my latest mystery, Guilt by Association, and my road to publication

I was honored that Guilt by Association was chosen to be the March read for the Avid Readers of Christian Fiction book club. I’d never done Facebook Live before, so I was a bit terrified (it is LIVE, I discovered, after a trial run in which I was murmuring to myself on camera and jolting it about). But once I saw so many of my readers chiming in with comments, it felt like a Facebook party. I wanted to share that video here for those of you who missed it!

In this video, I discuss my journey to publication (or basically, why I decided to independently publish my first novel, God’s Daughter, and many others), as well as the opioid epidemic in my home state of West Virginia, which ties in with the foster care theme in the book.

I’d love if you’d comment below with any questions you might have that I didn’t address, and if you’ve read and enjoyed Guilt by Association, I’d be thrilled if you would take time to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads! Thank you all so much.

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
