Books are live and selling on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Sibling-Revelries-Find…/…/ref=sr_1_1….

And I have a small number of reviews.

I thought you all might like to see the start of chapter one:

It started with a quiver in my voice, a shaky hand, and a worried heart. I first noticed it in 2003, when I was fifty-seven. That quiver in my voice and my shaky hand didn’t fit well with my image as a self-confident, competent, take-charge professional. It also scared me. I began to imagine that it was due to some kind of horrible condition, from a brain tumor to Parkinson’s disease. The more I worried, the worse it got.

eBook and Hard Copy!

So very happy to say that both the eBook and hard copy versions of Sibling Revelries are now live on Amazon.

This has been a five-year journey, filled with angst, editing, more angst, and yet more editing. After being rejected by more agents than I would have cared to, I made the decision to self-publish.

This was not a simple thing to do. The writing is perhaps a quarter of the work involved in publishing a book. Someone who may know how to write (after five years I kind of learned that), now has to become skilled at formatting a manuscript correctly and designing a cover. I chose to reach out for help.

Thanks to @FernBrady at Houston Writers Guild, I found two pros to do the heavy lifting @ManonLavoie, formatter par excellence, and @DylanDrake, who did a bang-up job of designing the cover you see here.

It’s been quite a journey. Now I have to market it!
