Sweetheart Pitchfest at Savvy Authors

One of the wonderous and comfort-zone busting parts of my new gig as a freelancer with Carina Press (oh yeah, I am now working with Carina Press to find amazing new voices) is moving from a social media lurker to a participant. Maybe one day I’ll become an influencer, but I won’t get ahead of myself.

Ricochet by Lore Ree

I cut my professional editing teeth on this fun, grown and sexy tome. Lore Ree is a gifted storyteller who creates characters with staying power. They’re real people. People I want to know. One of her strongest attributes is rapid fire, witty dialogue peppered with humor and emotion.

It has been my honor to work with Lore Ree, and I hope for many, many more opportunities to help her share her words with the world.

*Available on Amazon.
