A street team (aka a launch team) can be critical to a book's success. They're the ones who spread word about books they love, be it through social media, Goodreads/Bookbub reviews, talking in person to their friends and family, etc. I'm looking to expand the street team for my fantasy novels.

I’ve been watching a show based on a series of books. Perhaps you’ve heard of…THE WITCHER? Magic and medieval-ish costumes and monsters and a brooding hero equals fun, albeit some nudity, sex, adult language, and a very confusing timeline. Really confusing.

I almost humiliated my mom by stopping passersby and saying,… Continue reading My Book is in SFX Magazine

Reading and Rereading
There is no shortage of books to read. If you read one book for every day of your life, you would come nowhere close to having read all the books there are. But it's fun to try! That's not to say you're going to enjoy them all, obvs. Everyone has their own preferences when it… Continue reading Reading and Rereading
From Book to Cook – Episode 1
Earlier this week, I filmed the first episode of my new cooking show, From Book to Cook (title credit goes to Mimi, fellow author and a historical food enthusiast.) I made a spiced honey cake from the Unofficial Poldark Cookbook by Tricia Cohen and Larry Edwards. Have a look, but forgive the shaky camera and… Continue reading From Book to Cook – Episode 1
