Storyteller's Journey

My Belated Book Event

One of the most exciting times for an author is publication day and the numerous book events that follow. It's like the reward for all the months (sometimes years) of writing by oneself and staying disciplined. It's not why I write, but it's gratifying.                          (Photo from book event 11-1-24)

In September 2023 my first novel in The Time Travel Tales of Livvi Biddle was published. I had worked on The Sibylline Scroll for over ten years, including a trip to Europe where I did research for the series. Having that novel published was the culmination of a lot of stress, tears, and time. However, weeks before it was due to be published, I received a diagnosis of cancer. It was devastating news, to say the least. Needless to say, any book events had to be postponed. The last quarter of 2023 was one of the most challenging times of my life.

After having two surgeries, I completed my chemotherapy in February 2024. However, I soon found out that it takes months of recovery to regain your strength and stamina. By the end of last summer, I was feeling much more like myself. My schedule was finally free to schedule a much-belated book event.

Two weeks ago, I had a book signing for not only my newest novel, but for the four previous books I've had published. I have so much for which to be grateful!

In fact, here is my big news!

Stay tuned in the coming months for more updates!
