"The Way It's Supposed to Be" is live!

Or why I'm so giddy on a Monday

I don’t normally publish on Mondays, but this is a special announcement. My debut novel, “The Way It’s Supposed to Be,” is now live and ready to be purchased in e-book or paperback format!

I’ve been told it’s great for book clubs, so think about purchasing multiple copies for yours. Contact me if you’d like to set up a Q&A with the author (ahem, me) or book me to speak to your organization or club.

I’m still working on the book launch party logistics, so continue to stay tuned.

Synopsis:

Allie doesn't just depart her small town, fiancé and dead-end job; she runs off into the woods, leaving a disturbing message on the kitchen counter amongst the salad vegetables. Her fiancé, Mitch, is desperate to find her while Allie struggles to survive in the wild. Allie meets people throughout her adventure -- several who live on the streets and one charismatic young man -- who shape her thoughts on what the modern world can offer. As Mitch searches for Allie, with the help of Detective Murphy, he is pushed to uncover his own limited ideas about relationships.

Allie eventually faces a choice between truth and support from the people she loves. Mitch must decide if he can accept a version of family he never imagined. Allie and Mitch are terrible at communicating with each other. Still, they somehow navigate a path outside of convention, discovering a solution neither of them imagined.

When you’re finished reading, it would help me out tremendously if you’d leave a review.

Thank you to all the people who have supported and encouraged me throughout the writing and publishing process, and thank you to the readers of this newsletter who have followed the journey. Without readers, I’d just be shouting into the wind. You guys rock.
