E-book Pre-Sale of Moonlight Cowboy

 Just as I was about to hit the button to announce the upcoming pre-sale of Moonlight Cowboy, this quote popped up on the app I was using. 

God must have heard the pounding of my pulse because stepping out on my own to self-publish my first book has been an adventure. I've learned so much about being a graphic artist (and artist is a stretch at this point), and have probably haven't learned enough about marketing, but here I am jumping into the pool feet first. 

But it's been an exciting adventure, and I am so looking forward to taking you on a journey to Victory Island to meet Daniel and Emma. 

***

Widower Daniel Gallagher is an art teacher by day and moonlights as a world-renowned artist by night. Eager to lift Daniel from his slump after his wife’s death, his private-investigator friend asks him to blend into the artsy community on Victory Island as a part-time gumshoe. His assignment is to monitor the spending habits of art gallery employee, Emma Wagner.

Emma wants a man who is honest to a fault and Daniel Gallagher has all the qualities. However, when he witnesses her taking money from the gallery's cash drawer, he assumes she is a petty thief. The truth is, as part of her position, she engages in secret missions of mercy for her employer.

Following the young woman’s generous escapades has proven to be entertaining, but Daniel soon admits Emma is incapable of stealing anything—except his heart. Falling in love with Emma is not in his job description, of that, he is certain.

But when Daniel stumbles onto Emma’s family secrets, sparks fly!

I hope you stay tuned for more updates later in the week. 

Love is in the Air

 

Love is in the air on Victory Island . . .

So where is Victory Island you ask? When I first began planning Moonlight Cowboy, I knew its setting even before I’d determined the plot—a fictitious place called Victory Island in the middle of Lake Erie.

For most of my life, I lived less than a mile from the Lake Erie shoreline. I spent hours on its beaches as a kid digging in the sand. I visited the lighthouse in Fairport Harbor and Marblehead Lighthouse State Park, which is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. When I was younger, I rode every roller coaster at Cedar Point Amusement Park getting a prenominal view of the lake from the top of each hill. I enjoyed the islands (Kelley and South Bass) with friends. And took long bike rides on the trails of Presque Isle State Park, a peninsula jutting out into the lake north of Erie, PA. I guess you could say the history, nostalgia, and heritage of the Great Lakes are in my blood.

Victory Island is a combination of those places and a culmination of my many heartfelt memories of digging my toes into the sand, learning the history of the lake, and just enjoying all the lakes offered. 

But it’s more than that. It’s a place where hearts mend, where cherished memories are created, and island adventures are even more magical when shared with the one you love.

Moonlight Cowboy is the first in the Victory Island series, and soon to be released. Stay tuned!

As a kid, I loved Christmas Eve and the anticipation of what the next morning would bring. I still do!

Today is the eve of presenting the cover of my debut novel. There are no glittering lights or fancy wrapping paper, but my excitement is just as genuine.

I began writing over a decade ago. I attended writer’s conferences and workshops, networked with seasoned authors, tried to soak in as much as my brain could hold. Tomorrow you’ll get to see the cover of my upcoming novel Moonlight Cowboy.  I hope you are looking forward to it as much as I am!
