I was recently notified my fourth novel, Blue by You, has received the “Outstanding Literary Achievement” designation from the International Impact Book Awards.

 

 

 

 

 

Previously, “Blue” received international recognition from Writer’s Digest (poetry competition) in 2022, as well as Finalist in the 2024 Eric Hoffer Awards and Third Place in the Illumination Awards.  Blue by You has been entered in nine prestigious international award competitions, and received recognition from four. In baseball, that’s a pretty fair batting average.

 

When I began eleven years ago, I had four specific goals in mind: to become a published author, an award-winning author, a bestselling author, and an author with one of the Big Five (I’m on Simon & Schuster’s web site) international publishing houses. I’m three-for-four, and with your help and support, and several thousand others , perhaps “bestselling” author will be somewhere down the road. As always, thank you so much for supporting my author journey.

 

My new novel:

I’m pleased to announce that Simon & Schuster released for distribution my fifth novel, For the Love of Charley Chaplain.

Here’s what you’ll find between the covers: When Charley, a fugitive woman with a complicated past, meets David, a dying Hollywood screenwriter, they conceal their personal tragedies while traveling Route 66, America’s Highway, in a brand-new Corvette, America’s only true sports car. In just one week together, what could possibly go wrong? Or right. For the Love of Charley Chaplain is a page-turning, bittersweet love story sparked by chance and threatened by secrets. Charley and David both know an ending will come, but neither can predict the denouement life deals them after they go their separate ways.
