The question I get asked most…

Today I’m going to answer the question I get asked most these days. And it’s the BEST QUESTION EVER! But first I need to say it—I’m a published author. Today is official release day. I know you’re tired of hearing about it, but I couldn’t let this day pass without some sort of update.

I’m starting today and counting down to the launch date of The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee.

January 28, 2016 is only 71 days, y’all!

This chain is fancier than the regular construction paper ones my sister and I made. Cooler paper choices = one of the benefits of being an adult in 2015 compared to a child in the seventies. I was a little bit ecstatic to use all the paper scraps I’ve been saving.

So here’s what’s going on with The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee…Continue Reading
